Valerie Saunders, who has been feeding        birds in central Auckland parks for five years, says        she was told about the killings by an elderly couple.                They say they had seen a man kill about four        pigeons a day and carry them away in a bag. Their        grandchildren burst into tears after seeing the man        snapping the birds' necks.                Ms Saunders says she saw the man herself        and stopped him before he could kill any more birds.                She told the Central Leader: "I feel very        guilty because we've been feeding them, and now        they're tame. You can pick them up in your hands.        We want him stopped."
