Your neighbours are blaming pigeons, but you won't believe this
Good morning from the Region — three cities, one wire, zero time for small talk. Let's go.
So, here's the thing about this region: we love a good mystery, especially when it involves... well, let's just say 'unidentified backyard deposits.' There's a whole conversation happening at city council right now, and the buzz is about whether pigeons are behind a rash of defecation complaints in people's backyards. And staff? They're saying the chances are low. My Oma, who has seen everything from stray raccoons to the yearly Oktoberfest chaos descend on Victoria Park, would tell you to look closer to home, not up in the sky. This isn't some flock of innocent birds; this sounds like a real head-scratcher that will have folks on the Iron Horse Trail speculating for weeks.
It makes you wonder, doesn't it? Is this some rogue animal, or perhaps a two-legged culprit who thought no one was watching? Because let's be sensible, pigeons usually leave a different kind of schmear. This whole affair has the kind of specific, slightly bizarre local flavour that you only get when people in Kitchener, or perhaps Waterloo, are deeply invested in their outdoor spaces. Forget the grand plans for the Tannery district or the ongoing ION LRT construction; this is the stuff that gets whispered about at the St. Jacobs Farmers' Market on a Saturday morning.
