Londoners face up to five years in prison or an unlimited fine if they are caught feeding birds, according to incorrect council signs put up in one borough.

The threatening notices from Brent Council, which were written in English and five South Asian languages, describe feeding birds as a 'crime against our streets'.

The signs spotted on Christchurch Avenue in Kilburn state the 'penalty' if caught is 'up to five years in prison or unlimited fine', and the 'reward' is 'cleaner streets'.

It's always like "wow, and yet there aren't enough government resources to go after major crimes, huh?"

@Flick WTAF? 😳 Ok, I get that birds in town can be a pest, pigeons and seagulls situations, but 5 years?!!! They allow rapists, thieves and child abusers to walk free every day. They cannot be fucking serious! That is beyond scandalous.

@HebrideanHecate @Flick Seagulls will just tear open more bin bags but sure, criminalise old ladies and ignore violent crime

@Brookryn @Flick I keep thinking they can't jaw drop me any more but they do.
