In front of Omori Station, Ota Ward, Tokyo.
Dozens of pigeons flock in front of a man.
This man is feeding the pigeons, but another man approaches and stops them.
[please.
Stop it.
(I've been doing it for 20 years.) What does it have to do with 20 years?]
The man who stopped feeding is the president of the store association near the station.
[Hagino/Omori Station Shopping Street Venue: The rooftop of the opposite building was like a pigeon.
Waiting for them to be fed.]
In response to complaints from passers-by as well as nearby shopping streets, the district enacted an ordinance prohibiting the feeding of pigeons and crows in April.
If you violate this rule, you will be fined about 50,000 won in our money.
Four months after the enactment of the ordinance, the number of pigeons in Ota Ward Park decreased significantly, but it does not mean that there are no people feeding pigeons.
The damage caused by pigeons is not limited to shopping malls.
A park in Nakano-ku is full of pigeons.
Neighbors are troubled by the chirping of pigeons as well as cheap manure on the road.
It's like having a dog to walk through.
[Nakano Ward/Residents: I tried various devices in the park for 10 years to prevent damage to pigeons, but they did not work.]
The reason the pigeons do not decrease is because someone feeds them despite the opposition of the residents.
[Nakano Ward/Residents: Some people feed them 3 or 4 times a day.]
In response to this situation, Nakano Ward announces the real name and address of those who do not comply with the prohibition on feeding pigeons, etc.
As more people are working from home and quarantined due to the corona crisis, inquiries about the pigeon repellent system are also increasing rapidly.
