BBC News presenters Peter Levy and Paul Hudson erupted in laughter during a live broadcast after realizing the potentially suggestive subtext of a viewer’s question about garden birds.

Pigeons can be a nuisance in gardens, making noise, leaving droppings, and damaging crops. While harming wild birds is illegal in the UK, there are humane ways to deter them. According to Fantastic Pest Control, these methods include hanging shiny objects like CDs or tin foil, avoiding leaving food sources, scattering strong spices like cinnamon or pepper, and using a hose to spray them before they build nests.
