Cities are divided over how to deal with pigeon populations - and the methods are raising concern.
In Zurich, around 1,000 pigeons are culled each year to limit damage and health risks, a practice that recently sparked outrage after images surfaced online.
But cities like Geneva and Lausanne are taking a different approach, banning feeding to naturally control numbers.
Animal groups say neither strategy goes far enough, calling instead for managed dovecotes as a more humane, long-term solution.
But individuals are being warned it is illegal to remove a pigeon nest from your garden or balcony. Nesting birds are protected under federal laws - even pigeons.
