According to Sydney lawyer Avinash Singh, it’s not uncommon for local councils in Western Australia or South Australia to issue infringements for feeding pigeons. He said, “This is particularly the case when a complaint is made - quite often neighbours will take videos and photos of the number of pigeons and the person feeding them.”

Singh says in these cases, the council will issue a fine, and sometimes may even issue a court attendance notice if the behaviour is repeated.

Feeding pigeons in Australia can pose health risks, as they can carry diseases that may be transmitted to humans and other animals. Feeding them encourages larger congregations of birds, increasing the likelihood of disease spread.

Additionally, pigeons are not native to Australia, and their overpopulation can disrupt local ecosystems by competing with native bird species for resources.

Singh said, “It’s definitely one of Australia’s strangest laws, and one that while it may be annoying for other people passing by or trying to relax, it’s not something people think they can get in trouble with the law for.”
