Over 655 pigeons have been shot and killed across London Underground stations in organized cullings between March 2024 and March 2026. Transport for London (TfL) carried out at least 123 shoots to remove birds nesting on ledges and trapped behind netting. Campaigners allege TfL did not take reasonable steps to mitigate suffering or explore non-lethal alternatives, as recommended by Natural England during breeding season.
