Staff found pigeon droppings inside the property, eggs in the sink and a small chick in the Nottingham Trent University accommodation in the city centre. 

Media and communications student Mr Johnson, of Enfield, north London, said: ‘I just wish I hadn’t seen it myself. Then I might be able to sleep at night.

‘I wanted to go back to university last week but I’m going to wait a bit now. I’m never leaving a window open again. Everyone’s shook.

‘I’d left some random stuff behind that I didn’t need like a toaster and clothes that I wouldn’t be wearing over the summer.’

He added: ‘I had an email saying that staff had heard noises coming from my room so went to check and found the mess the pigeons had made. 

‘My sneakers were covered in poo and my toaster. I’m just glad I didn’t walk in and find it. That would have been horrible. 

‘It’s an opportunity to buy some new clothes but it’s a shame that some of it’s gone.’
