Cleaning up the pigeons’ poop.

22/10/2025 by A learning buddhist...

I decided to take action and clean up the pigeon droppings at my void deck. Someone kind has been leaving two cat food pouches almost every day for the feeders to feed the cats. Since I don’t know when the person leaves them, I’m often not there at the right time to pick them up. If the pouches aren’t collected in time, the clever crows and pigeons will peck holes in them and eat the food. That’s why there are droppings everywhere.

Before cleaning

I would like the residents and visitors to have a place to sit, and I also hope that the pigeons can stay safe in this area.

After feeding the community cats past midnight, when it was quiet, I took out my tools and began scraping away the droppings.

After cleaning
This was done last night and I cleaned it again.

It wasn’t hard to clean. All we need is a lot of kindness and a little effort and we can coexist. However, the authorities prefer the easiest and cheapest way to deal with it, that is to kill.

I’m planning to clean the floor as well. It doesn’t really matter whether what I do can make a difference in preventing the authorities from killing the birds. It’s in their nature to eat and poop, after all. Only those who kill will have to face their karmic consequences, and I truly hope that can be avoided.

  • “Enough, Vakkali! Why do you want to see this foul body? One who sees the Dhamma sees me; one who sees me sees the Dhamma. For in seeing the Dhamma,Vakkali, one sees me; and in seeing me, one sees the Dhamma.” ~ SN 22.87

  • A place to discover and explore the discourses of the Buddha.
  • I highly recommend reading the sutta translated by Piya Tan. His "Laymen Saints" has been an inspiration to many lay people.
  • Support coexistence with birds!
