I put canary poop on my jalapenos one year after cleaning the bird cage. They nearly killed the plant, but when the plant came back to life, the peppers were hotter than H!!!!

That gif that JustJoy posted has been cut short. It used to show that old man throwing his bag of bird food at the giant pigeon. So funny. I loved that gif.

Oh, I did know that fortunes were made over 'mining' pigeon and other poop.

There's a North England expression- 'Where there's muck there's brass (money)'.

While bird droppings can be used as good fertilizer, the bacteria and parasites found in them are also dangerous to health:

Why do you think they put spikes on ledges where they are likely places for pigeons to land on and do what they do best?

If they were to pay me a dime for carrying my Remington 12-gauge shotgun and shooting and killing every one of those disgusting birds, I'd make a fortune.

In your case, forget shooting birds...start hunting for what counts the most...."your soulmate!"

Yep. Very good stuff. Getting it is the problem. Even getting chicken poop can be costly now.

What about human poop ... That's still in abundance and can be obtained easily
