Is there a law or rules about destroying pigeons that live in a city environment.?

It probably depends on the city where you live - contact animal control and find out

If a bird really did break it, of course.  \n\nYou would also have an extremely dead bird to prove it.  If a bird hits it hard enough to break it, the bird will have died from the impact and should be on the ground right near the window.

Yes. They are almost extinct. So, govt. officials made it illegal to kill them. \n\nhttp://www.riverotter.net/gallery/thumbnails/tnotter_trio.jpg\n\nWanna know more...\n\nDucks Unlimited\n1 Waterfowl Way\nMemphis, TN 38120\n(901) 758-3825\n\nCommited to the protection and preservation of North American Wetlands

The law DOES treat animals like living beings and it definitely does differentiates between animals and property.\n\nFor example: there are "cruelty to animals" laws.\nSo it is illegal to mistreat even the wild animals. \nThere are no "Cruelty to chairs" laws. \nIf you find an abandoned chair you can beat it until it breaks, and people will just look at you funny.\nIf you find an abandoned dog and beat it, you will be arrested and charged.\n\nAlso you can destroy your property all you like. But you can't just kill your own pets.

Those annoying birds are probably American Coots.\n\nIn southern California the golf courses have a history of hiring a hunter to remove the birds when they become a problem.

Drink beer and shoot pigeons out the window.

It depends a lot on where you live.  If you live in the country (like I do) and have a barn nearby, you can climb or use a ladder to get to the highest corners of the barn.  Baby pigeons basically look like oversized chicks (the real kind, not girls) with a lot of missing feathers.  They live the kind of life most of us dream of: get "beak" fed by your parents for several months, do no work of any kind and simply sit there and grow.  But of course, they arent' as sanitary with their droppings as we are.

Most raptors, hawks, kites, kestrals, and what-not are protected, I think. Best you bury the carcass and don't mention it again.

The common pigeon, originally known as a rock dove or rock pigeon, is adapted to nest on natural cliffs, usually on coasts. Its domesticated form, the feral pigeon, has been widely introduced elsewhere, and is common, especially in cities, over much of the world. Modern man's high rise buildings are a suitable substitute for the natural cliffs that these birds need, so essentially every urban area is seen as ideal nesting habitat by these birds.\n\nPigeons breed when the food supply is good — for wild rock doves this might be on a seasonal basis so they usually breed once a year. In cities, feral pigeons can be seen eating grass seeds and berries in urban parks and gardens in the spring, but there are plentiful sources throughout the year from dropped fast-food cartons, restaurant and supermarket trash, tourists with birdseed, etc. In the urban environment, because of the year-round food supply, feral pigeons will breed continuously, laying eggs up to six times a year.\n\nPeregrine Falcons, another original cliff dweller, have also adapted to the big cities, living on the window ledges of skyscrapers and often feeding exclusively on Rock Pigeons.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Dove

A group of crows is called a "murder".

Yes, up to 15 years.  I'm surprised.  That's a whole lot of bird poop.  Bring back the hawks!

Yeah, slightly.  My advice to you would be to make a complaint to your city council.  Now, I'm not legal expert or anything, so that's the best I can suggest.

I have come across this issue before with parrot shelters, and private zoos.  If the humane society is called in and doesn't see anything sufficiently horrible to warrant action then you need to document the offenses yourself (photographic evidence, video, witnesses...).  Once you have created  a 'case' in the form of a file THEN the humane society may be more apt to listen.  What is acceptable in one US state or Canadian province may not be acceptable in another.  Standards of care can and do vary WIDELY.

I suggest you just let them be ! The crows warn most birds that there is a preditor around by squeeling,In my yard they live in harmony ! with the yellow finch,cardinals,sparrows,and many more birds!

It is, but its just not news worthy anymore. Here in the UK the DEFRA are still monitoring birds that have died suddenly, particluarly wild birds such as swans and ducks.

Judging by your use of the word "babies," it is apparent that you have elevated pigeons to a higher order on the grand scale of life.  Your motive is admirable and your heart is warm, but remember that nature takes care itself.  Everything has to eat.  It's been that way for a long time.  You should not try to interfere with the food chain.  Unless pigeons have been put on the endangered species list, I would just sit back and hope for the best.

Are you asking this as a legal question?  If yes:\n\nMunicipal governments in the U.S. can limit the number of animals on a property within their jurisdiction.  They can also prohobit the presence of certain animals... usually exotic or dangerour animals, but sometimes animals which might be considered more appropriate on a farm or ranch.\n\nThe reasons for these laws are often passed is for public health and safety.  I'm not making a comment here in favor or opposing these laws... just relating what I'm familiar with in one state (Kansas)\n\nAn example:\n\nThe city of Goddard, Kansas, has the following law in its city code:\n\n"NUMBER OF ANIMALS. It shall be unlawful to, in one household, keep a combined total of dogs and cats in excess of Five (5). The total number of dogs and cats in one household shall not exceed Three (3) animals of either species For purposes of this section, dogs and cats less than Six (6) months of age shall not be included in the total number of dogs and cats allowed, provided that no more than one litter of puppies and one litter of kittens shall be maintained in one household at any one time. (Ord. 496; Code 2001)"\nhttp://www.goddardkansas.us/citycode/chapter2_animal_control.htm\n\nRegarding prohibiting certain types of animals...\n\nThe Andover, Kansas city code states:\n\n"It shall be unlawful for any person, who as owner, lessee, or occupant to maintain any stable, shed, pen or other places where horses, goats, hogs or sheep are kept with the city limits."\nhttp://www.andoverks.com/documents/City%20Code/CODE%20Book%20Partial%20Revision%20%28one%20doccument%29.pdf\n\nThe code goes on to require how chickens and other "domesticated fowl" can be kept within the city limits with restrictions on housing the birds, etc.\n\nThe city code also prohibits pit bull dogs within the Andover city limits with minor exceptions as well as many kinds of "exotic animals."\n\nIt's good to find out what your local municipality allows and disallows before you bring animals into your house.  Many cities have their codes online.
