Trafalgar Square used to be home to hordes and hordes of pigeons, however that is no longer the case – thanks in large part to this fine creature (and others like it):

Not everyone is a fan of these hawks (although they have reduced the rampant pigeon infestation down from 4,000 birds to around 120), and there have been several complaints at the cost of maintaining the hawks in Trafalgar square (one report from a few years ago claimed that it cost approximately ~£60,000 a year).
