Young professionals flats are being besieged - by PIGEONS

Young professionals in a Victorian building are living in fear because their flats are being besieged - by PIGEONS.

Flocks of birds keep landing on the windowsills of the four-storey building - which is split into four flats - and the pesky flying rats keep finding their way inside.

Pictures and videos show bewildered tenants battling to keep pesky pigeons out of their homes, in Wandsworth, south west London.

The beady-eyed visitors are flocking to the building in scenes not unlike those in Alfred Hitchcock horror film 'The Birds' - although fortunately they have yet to strike on a human target.
