Pigeon Sign

Photo of a poster hung in an outdoor arcade with a drawing of a pigeon in flight above laundry hung on a line. Text in Japanese asks not to feed pigeons and warns of the longer term consequences to the neighborhood. — Don’t feed the pigeons, please.

I thought this was a warning about hanging laundry in the area. Rather, it’s a warning about feeding pigeons, which makes much more sense.
