Clark County commissioners voted this week to outlaw the feeding of feral pigeons in an effort to control the birds' population.
Feeding the birds is considered a public nuisance and can now lead to a fine of up to $1,000 and even six months in jail.
Commissioners hope that stopping feedings will discourage pigeons from roosting in large flocks on buildings.
