Clark County commissioners voted Tuesday to outlaw the feeding of feral pigeons in unincorporated parts of the county.
The ban extends to public property, private businesses and residents’ homes.
Under the proposed law, feeding the birds would be considered a public nuisance punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and up to six months in jail, county spokesman Erik Pappa said.
