Thank you for reporting this issue to the City of Portland using SeeClickFix. It has been received as service request ID #53114. Our staff will now begin their investigation.

100% agree... There are droppings all over and now we know why! Feeding pigeons from feeders hung from city trees on the sidewalk??? What are they thinking??? These birds are ruining our sleep, house and health - and for what? This seems like it's breaking a few laws!

Pigeons on roofs due to feeders.

Health hazard on sidewalks and homes.

Thank you for reporting this issue. An inspection was performed and no violations were found. The City Ordinance regarding the feeding of wildlife, and birds excludes Private Property. CF

Feeders are very clearly hanging from trees, which are not private property. Additionally feeders are obstructing and impeding the sidewalk and the feces is a public health concern. Sidewalks are not private property. The feeders need to be moved.

We value your concern and would like to further investigate.

Please see the attached ordinance
ARTICLE III. FEEDING OF WILDLIFE PROHIBITED
Sec. 5-110. Prohibition against feeding wildlife on specified public property.
(a) Within the Portland Downtown District, as established and defined by order of the City Council, Order #306, (3/16/1992), amended by Council Order #185 (2/22/95), no person shall intentionally dispense any type of food, substance or seeds to feed any species of wildlife upon the public ways or upon property owned or controlled by the city.
(b) “Wildlife” as used in this Article means any undomesticated or untamed bird or animal without a known or identifiable owner and includes, but is not limited to, wildlife such as pigeons and squirrels. The definition does not include dogs or deer.
(c) This section shall not apply within the boundaries of Lincoln Park.

Seeing that this is not only on public property and additionally in violation of article 3 posted above, should it be reopened?
