Manchester’s going to bring in a hawk to scare away the pigeons on Piccadilly. There could be problems though.
a falcon used in Nottingham was seen killing pigeons in front of passers-by. And a Harris hawk “working” in New York’s Bryant Park tried to eat a pet dog.
The odds of dying by various means.
Of course, they’re American statistics, so the odds of certain events- shooting is the one that springs to mind- will be much lower over here. No doubt some other, less obvious ones will be higher. Also, the number of deaths is divided by the size of the population, making some less common practises seem safer. I’d like to think that cyclists are safer than drivers, but the lower odds are more likely because there are fewer pedallers than lardarses drivers.

I want a 1:1250 scale model of central London.
Failing that, I’d settle for a 1:500 scale model of a smaller part of the city.
This is the logo from my project. I’ve changed the fonts and kept the colours and the little guys.
