What's wrong with woodpigeons in gardens, anyway?

The mess and the reduction of other wildlife.

Woodpigeons don't reduce other wildlife. They don't predate on any bird,
insect, amphibion or mammal. In my experience they don't cause any mess
either.

But they do destroy my vegetables!

I don't dispute that but cabbages don't usually come under the heading of
wildlife, even the most violent kind.

But I do find some excrecia(SP?) in places, and it is quite possible it
comes from the pigeons.
