Don't Feed the Flock
Editor's Note: This is a reminder from Storey County about the ongoing pigeon problem. Local agencies are working together to mitigate the issue – please support by following county law.
Feeding non-domesticated pigeons in Storey County is against the law. It might seem harmless, but feeding non-domesticated pigeons can lead to overpopulation, property damage, and health risks. That’s why Storey County Code makes it a misdemeanor to feed feral pigeons in public areas. This ordinance was put in place after previous surges in the pigeon population caused serious cleanup and nuisance issues—especially in Virginia City.

Help us keep our historic district clean, safe, and pigeon-responsible. Please don’t feed the pigeons.
