Northern Rail urges commuters to stop feeding pigeons at Manchester Victoria station due to corrosive droppings and nesting issues.

Northern Rail is urging commuters at Manchester Victoria and other stations to stop feeding pigeons, which have become a problem due to their corrosive droppings and nesting habits. Despite various deterrents like plastic owls and hawk sounds, previous efforts have failed to significantly reduce the bird population. The company is now asking the public to help by not leaving food on the platforms to combat the issue.
