Robop is a mechanical bird that will soon be perched on the rooftops around the British city of Liverpool. The mission is to scare away the obese lot of pigeons who are considered a nuisance in the city.
The Robop is the brain child of a Scottish company and resembles a Peregrine Falcon - which is a natural predator of pigeons. The Robops will flap their wings and squawk loudly to scare the pigeons away.
The pigeons have become obese as a result of unbalanced food and have been a nuisance for the city with their continuous droppings and badgering for food, and the credit goes to the residents.
The Liverpool city council has urged the residents of Liverpool to refrain from feeding the pigeons with take-away leftovers which include sausages and burgers. The council feels that the hungry pigeons who are already being subjected to the scaring techniques will leave the city and settle in the parks and green spaces where they will get a natural diet.
But many experts feel that the pigeons are a highly intelligent bird and will not fall prey to this trick.
Lets see who wins in this game of nature versus machine.
