North Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) – People living in one North Las Vegas community say the amount of pigeons there have left their homes and streets in a disgusting mess.
One couple, JoLynn and Ray Templin, reached out to Action News because they didn’t know who to ask for help.
They’ve lived in the community near R.C. Farms for several years. Within the past few months, they said they’ve been experiencing an infestation of pigeons and black birds.
R.C. Farms has been sitting just miles from the Las Vegas strip for about 50 years.
It’s been praised for being a recycling visionary, but also criticized for being a nuisance to neighbors.
“I think it should be the pig farm doing something about it,” says JoLynn Templin.
After several calls and talking with city officials, Action News learned the pigeon problem is the homeowner’s responsibility.
Pigeons are considered pests and should be treated like any other pest.
There are pigeon control companies in the valley, but the Templin’s still feel like they were misled. ”
“That’s just wrong, there should have never been anybody building homes or any kind of property up here,” says JoLynn Templin.
Action News reached out to R.C. Farms for comment, and haven’t yet heard back.

A cannabis farm was discovered thanks to the help of pigeons seeking out some comfort.
On the first freezing day of winter, hundreds of them huddled together on the roof in Earlestown, St Helens, Merseyside.
Police were intrigued as to what had prompted them to gather in such a way and upon their investigation they discovered the crop.
Heat lamps had warmed the roof, providing them with a haven from the cold.
Officers discovered 14 mature cannabis plants capable of producing up to £1,200 of weed every 10 weeks, according to the St Helens Star.
A source said: ‘Police became suspicious on the first frosty morning of the winter about 10 days ago.
‘The roof was covered with about 300 pigeons all keeping warm….they’ve moved on now though.’

Almost 20 birds have been found dead at a Perth train station and are suspected of having been intentionally poisoned after a mystery blue bucket was left at the site.
Burswood train station was shut down about 9:15pm on Saturday when 19 pigeons were found dead around the station.
A container holding bird seed, mixed with an unidentified black toxic fluid, was found in a garden at the station, a Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) spokesman said.
He said the birds were attracted by the substance and had been feeding on the contents of the container – believed to be a blue bucket.
Fire crews, chemical experts and police were called to investigate.
The area was closed off while workers in Hazmat suits poured sand on the liquid and secured the contents of the container in a drum.
The station reopened and train services resumed around 10:15pm, after the substance and dead pigeons were removed.
The Public Transport Authority (PTA) said it was unaware who left the bucket containing the “contaminated grain” in the garden.
A spokesman said the PTA would review CCTV footage from Burswood station as part of its investigation.
The DFES spokesman said it would not be known what product was in the container for a few days.
The drum will be sent to the ChemCentre in Bentley for testing when it re-opens on Tuesday.
Pest experts have told the ABC the product found in the bucket was not used for commercial pest control.
Council ‘not responsible’
The Town of Victoria Park said it had nothing to do with the bird deaths.
“The Town is not responsible for the recent deaths of birds on the Public Transport Authority land near Burswood Station,” Mayor of Victoria Park Trevor Vaughan said.
“We are continuing to work closely with authorities to investigate who is responsible and why this incident occurred.
“Any suspicious bird or other animal deaths should be reported to the Department of Parks and Wildlife.
“If you see anyone behaving suspiciously please call the police.”
Police said they were not involved in the investigation into the suspected poisoning.
Crown Perth, located adjacent to the train station, was unavailable for comment.

A few years back when Gordon Snell became Mayor of Huntsville, and in his first week on the job, he looked through the paperwork on his desk and saw an estimate from a Toronto area Pest control Company to rid the Town Hall of nesting pigeons.
So the story goes Gord went to see Ted Hares then the Town Clerk to ask what the high price estimate was all about. After hearing the story, and finding out that he could charge up to $100.00 on his own, Gord walked down the street to Stedman’s and spent $12.00 on rubber snakes.
He took them back to the Town Hall and climbed up to the roof, placed the snakes in pigeon nesting areas and went back to work.
The pigeons migrated to another area of Town, and as far as I know, never came back.
Seems they don’t like snakes.
Would this work at the Summit Center?

A KEEN walker has spoken of her concern after she saw up to 15 dead pigeons in a canal.
Carole Williams saw the dead birds when she was on her daily walk near Westport Lake yesterday morning.
The 53-year-old from Knutton said: “At first I just saw two dead pigeons, which I thought was strange.
“I have been walking along the canal most mornings for the last four years and I have never seen a dead bird.
“Then as I carried on walking I saw more and more until I had counted about 15.”
Carole saw the birds on the stretch between Westport Lake and the Harecastle tunnel on the Trent and Mersey Canal near Kidsgrove and she said that they were still there today.
It is not yet known whether the birds have been shot or died of natural causes.
On discovering the birds, Carole decided to report it but of the five different organisations she contacted, not one of them has been able to help.
She said: “They all just told me to phone someone else, or they just said it wasn’t their area
“It’s a shame because it’s a lovely area this time of year, it’s so peaceful.
“Plus the first birds I saw were really close to the children’s play area, it’s not a nice thing to see.
“I will still go for my walks but I just wish I could find out what’s happened to them to put my mind at rest.
“I know they’re only pigeons but it could have been swans or ducks or geese.”
