> AMSTERDAM - A Dutch farmer has painted pigeons pink and green to ward off
> hungry birds of prey and it seems to have worked, a Dutch newspaper reported
> Wednesday. "I'm crazy about the birds ... Naturally, birds of prey are
> going to eat pigeons, but preferably not here," the farmer told the Algemeen
> Dagblad newspaper.
> He began painting the birds with environmentally friendly, water-based paint
> a year ago.
> "The colors make the pigeons seem unsuitable as prey. The birds of prey
> simply don't recognize them anymore," he said.
