Burbank businessman arrested over feeding of birds near airport
The 59-year-old owner of Precise Roofing Co. in Burbank has been feeding flocks of pigeons since at least September 2010, officials say, which — beyond violating municipal code — has created a major safety hazard for jet airplanes using the nearby Bob Hope Airport as the birds' numbers have grown into the hundreds.

Pigeons are not exactly the type of bird most people want to encourage in their neighborhoods. I have banged pans together to chase a tree full of grackles out of my yard. Some birds tend to congregate in large numbers and excrete large quantities of of dangerous and smelly substances. These aren't little hummingbirds, after all.
Reckon he is plumb stupid or just one of them that don't know any better. There are people around that don't know one damn thing other than what they see in front of them and most of them voted in the last election.
they should deport people for being stupid. just send em all to a big island somewhere

Years ago, we used to truck a lot of that Northeast Garbage to a KY landfill. Supposedly it would all be compacted and in big sealed poly bags. Well them big poly bags wern't sturdy at times and before long we wound up trading a BUNCH of trailers cause other shippers would not load them!!!!!!!!!
We east coaster don't call California "the land of fruits and nuts" without cause.
That's nothing!!! Compared to NYC build a garbage transfer station just off the threshold of RWY 31 at LGA. They claim the containers will be sealed and the birds will never know. Just like the garbage trains a major freight railroad operates on a train line near where I live. I can tell you in the summer months the airtight garbage cars aren't so airtight!!!
Also if this guy is such an animal lover why is he putting the birds in harms way to get hit by aircraft??? Never mind the obvious dangers to aircraft and the public.
