Hey btw, another worldbuilding thing: You can, and actually should have weird and impractical cultural things. Theyâre not inherently unrealistic, for as long as you address the realistic consequences as well.
 Letâs say youâve got a city where thereâs tame white doves everywhere. Theyâre not pests, theyâre regarded as sacred, holy protectors of the city, and the whole city cares for them and feeds them like theyâre pets. Theyâre so tame because itâs a social taboo to hurt or scare one. Nice pretty doves :)
 Then someone points out that even if theyâre not seen as pests, doesnât having a completely unchecked feral pigeon population - that not only isnât being culled, but actively fed and cared for - mean that there would be bird shit absolutely all over the place?
 A part of you wants to say no, because these are your nice, pretty doves. To explain that thereâs a reason why theyâre not shitting all over the place, maybe theyâre super-intelligent and specifically bred and trained to not shit all over the place. The logistics of how, exactly, could anyone breed and train a flock of feral birds go unaddressed.
 An even worse solution would be to not have those birds, editing them out of the world. No, they spark joy, you canât just toss them out!
 Now, consider: Yes, yes they would, but the city also has an extensive public sanitation service thatâs occupied 90% of the time by cleaning bird shit off of everything. One of the most common last names in the area actually translates to âone who scrapes off dove shitâ, and itâs a highly respected occupation. And thanks to the sheer necessity of constantly regularly cleaning everything, the city enjoys a much higher standard of cleanliness, and less public health issues caused by poor public sanitation.
 The doves do protect the city. By shitting fucking everywhere.
