Please realize the manure of hundreds of thousands of pigeons can as has been used to make explosives. Guano was once a major source of Potassium Nitrate the oxidizer in black gunpowder. Wars were fought over access to this stuff.

Muslim Uighurs were blamed for a deadly attack on Tiananmen Square last October, after an SUV was rammed into bystanders killing five people. Chinese police say the East Turkestan Islamic Movement were responsible.

Did they use duct tape ? The humming birds may fair better but it's to early to tell what lengths the Chinese police will go too.
