For many species spring is the time for newborns to enter into life. Pigeons in the neighborhood have completed the breeding phase and called upon the newborn to crack the shell open. Nourishment is already abundant in the surroundings and parents appear to be impatient to quit the guarding of their offsprings Time the next generation soon to take over a similar role. Pigeons don’t ask questions of fertility they reproduce in abundance of the environmental conditions are alright. Human beings are a danger for them as some feed them well, but others defend their territory, housing or living space against and intrusion. Compromises are not easy to accomplish. Fans of the song writer Georg Kreissler keep humming with dark humor: „Geh‘n wir Tauben vergiften im Park …“. The struggle for survival of species has changed in kind and we are more than ever before responsible for living conditions of other species as well.
