Here is an update to the story: The building is replacing the metal structure (pigeon spikes) on which the hawk built its nest. The pigeon spikes prevented the pigeons from landing on the building which prevented the pigeon droppings. They are also building a guardrail to catch any falling debris. It should be completed by Monday. This seems like a good compromise and solution. The hawk has a home and the sidewalk will not be littered with pigeon and rat carcasses.
