Frankly these pigeon people are a menace. They send small kids into gardens and roofs on the pretext of finding pigeons and the next thing is a robbery. They scan the entire neighborhood.

Pachawatte sahodarayas are worse than pigeon keepers. Not even run a tea shop.

Pigeon keeping would be the facade for a much sinister operation beneath. Very likely drug related.
