would expect to see pigeons out in a park and in open spaces. not here. this mom doesn't want to go on camera but says she was shocked when she walked through the the area and saw the birds i find that absolutely disgusting. this mom is concerned because her daughter has deaths and isn't sure close quarter exposure to the pigeons could cause problems i think that''s foul and i don't know how they are allowing that to happen. we reached out to the clark county school district about the matter. they sent us a statement that said quote"school staff work closely with the districts pest control staff to keep the birds at bay." end quote but students we talked to on and off camera say the birds are there almost all the time when i'm eating lunch i see them flying through the doors because they keep the doors open and everytime they fly in they do nothing about the birds to get them out the school district admit that quote "while janitorial staff are cleaning the cafeteria after lunch and have the doors open to remove trash, pigeons do fly in to eat crumbs or food that have been dropped on the floor by students." end quote the boys mom we talked to heard there was a problem and when we

shocked those birds have diseases. the kids have to eat lunch in there what if they go to the bathroom on the table and gets it on his sandwich and doesn't realize it. he could get really sick. family physician dry daliah wachs says the students and parents have good reason to be concerned. we love pigeons we feed the pigeons, but you know that carry diseases, they carry bacteria, they carry fungi, they carry viruses they carry disease. dr. wachs says parents need to remind their kids to stay away from the pigeons and to not for instance put their sandwiches or food on the table where they sit just in case. whether you go to a restaurant, whether they eat in the room etc and so if the students themselves aren't going to wipe doe the area they need to be aware that area could have been contaminated by something in the meantime the school district insists they are working hard to keep the campus clean and it's not really a problem. this mom isn't convinced. they need to do something about it. we reached out to the clark county health district and asked if they had heard of the problem and whether they had received any complaints. they hadn't and for them to investigate a complaint has to be filed. casino owners are not seeing as much cash as in years past..
