Did you hear about the novel way that Hollywood has come up with to deal with their excessive pigeon problem? They’re giving pigeons the contraceptive pill.

At this time there are over 5000 pigeons in the Hollywood area. Campaigners against the pigeons want to give them birth control pills in the form of a drug called OvoControl P in an attempt to cut their numbers in half over the next five years.

The contraceptives are being fed to the pigeons via bird food pellets. In a news story that I saw regarding Hollywood’s pigeon problem it was noted that the birds don’t seem to like to eat these special pellets. Perhaps it has something to do with a local woman who’s known as the Bird Lady who’s been encouraging the birds by leaving large bags of bird feed in different areas.

An Arkansas state trooper thought something might be up when he spotted a large stuffed monkey on the dashboard of a pickup truck. Authorities say the toy blocked much of the windshield.

According to police, the trooper smelled pot when he pulled over the driver on I-40 near Forrest City. Police say the trooper found more than two-thousand pills in truck.

The driver, Tonya Garner, and passenger, Dennis Garner, now face several drug counts each. Tonya Garner is also charged with driving with an obstructed view.

That’s some Monkey business!

On Valentines day men were able to buy Viagra over the counter in Britain for the first time ever.

Three Manchester Boots pharmacies will sell the prescription-only medication in a pilot program that began on February 14th.

Men between the ages of 30 and 65 who are suffering from erectile dysfunction are now able to buy as many as four pills at a time for 50 pounds ($97) without having to get a prescription from a doctor first. They’ll have a private consultation with a Boots pharmacist instead where their medical history will be discussed and they’ll have their blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels tested.

When they return to the pharmacy for more pills they’ll need to see a private doctor to be sure that they are suitable for more pills.

“By creating a service that is easily accessible on the high street we hope that we help many more men seek help for a very common condition,” said Boots Director of Health care Alex Gourlay.

He said it was estimated that only one in 10 men suffering from erectile dysfunction were currently being treated.

A national roll out of the Viagra service will be assessed later in the year.
