The Wimbledon Tennis Organizing Committee, an "unusual" guard, is used to keep birds from flying around and around the stadiums and to disturb the players and influence their concentration. Since 2007,

the Committee has decided to use the Rufs falcon for the purpose of keeping other birds away from the championship stages.

The pigeon was specifically a problem at Wimbledon, because it eats grain from the pitch grass, during games, which affects the concentration of the players.

Rufus raised international media attention in the summer of 2012, when he was kidnapped by unknown men, before being found three days later.

The famous falcon is very popular, with 9,000 followers on an account created on Twitter.
