The Big Birdhouse

Down on the Yarra River, alongside the City Road Bridge sits a rather large bird house. Everything in life is mathematics and this is multiples and in my mind this is a great and grand thing. This particular birdhouse houses pigeons and immediately I wonder how the park people manage to keep this as a pigeon only house. Is it safe to assume a large number of pigeons were lured into the birdhouse with delicious seed immediately after its construction and placement, following the majority rule theory. I also wonder how they care for the birdhouse, is it cleaned out weekly, are the inhabitants tagged, and why were pigeons given this birdhouse? My mind is whirling, a little internet search is in order in which the following found site which only makes my mind whirl more:  http://www.waymarking.com/cat/details.aspx?f=1&guid=a38e62e8-e084-437e-aa86-339cda4b2220&st=2  Here you will also see the Dorval Purple Martin Lighthouse, similar to this Melbourne affair along with lots of other sweet and lovely birdhouses.
