  A hatch on a Swedish church tower inadvertently left open for some three decades resulted in 2 tons (1.8 tonnes) of pigeon droppings amassing in the tower.

  The church's property manager says the layer of droppings was 30cm (12in) deep when it was discovered during a May inspection of the Heliga Trefaldighets Kyrka in Gavle, 170km (105 miles) north of Stockholm.

  Lennart Helzenius said on Thursday that church staff had been shocked by the sheer number of bags of excrement cleaners were removing from the tower. He says the droppings filled 80 bags in the first round of cleaning, and then just as many in the second round.

  Helzenius says the hatch had probably been left open since the 1980s.

  .....by opening the hatch, it allowed the pigeons to seek shelter during the cold winer months. Pigeons also got stress, they came to church to "pray" and seek salvation. To show their appreciation, they made some donation before flying off.

  Furthermore, the shit might prevent thieves from coming in to steal the money.
