Rebel Pigeons?!
Looks like Pigeons aren’t afraid of owls, well fake ones at the least. An owl was placed on top of a roof to keep pigeons away but it didn’t work at all. Many pigeons gathered together on top of the roof to soak up some sun. With the use of Pigeon Patrol’s bird deterrents, this wouldn’t have made it to the headlines because there wouldn’t have been any pigeons flocking together. I think the simple use of 4-S Gel would have actually scared the pigeons away.

Pigeon Patrol says that this is No joking matter!! Chinese researchers are suggesting Canada’s first H5N1 flu patient may have
Understand it!!!
contracted the bird flu virus passing through or near an illegal live bird market in Beijing.
And Canadian scientists have published a report on the full genetic sequence of virus taken from the Alberta woman, who died in early January after returning from a three-week trip to her native China.
The source of the woman’s infection has been a mystery; she spent her entire trip in Beijing, where H5N1 reportedly hasn’t been discovered for some time, and her travelling companion said she did not have contact with live birds while there.
But scientists from Beijing’s Centre for Disease Prevention and Control are hypothesizing that illegal live bird markets may have been the source of the woman’s infection.
Testing of the area around the market stall where the woman bought the duck revealed the presence of H5N1 viruses that were closely related to the ones that infected her.
As well, they note that several human infections with the newer H7N9 bird flu virus have been reported in Beijing.
The scientists suggest the illegal trade in live poultry in Beijing may pose a high risk of human infection with bird flu viruses for people living in the city.
While she had the respiratory infection that is characteristic of influenza infection, she also had evidence of meningoencephalitis, infection in the brain.
Protect yourself against the Pigeons!

Pigeon Patrol does not sell the fake OWL for a reason! It does not work. However Pigeon Patrol does manufacture the best five bird and animal deterrents on the market today. Ultra-Flex Bird Spikes, Bird Netting, Ultrasonic Repellers, Bird Lasers and the new 4-S Gel.
These pigeons are not frightened by the 2-foot-tall owl placed on top of the roof of a home. The pigeons flocked together to keep warm as the sun heated up the roof shingles.

Pigeon Patrol ran across this funny story!
JANICE McGill tells of ‘disgusting’ experience at burger joint in Glasgow’s Queen Street.
A RETIRED nurse told yesterday how she was left in a flap – after dining with a pair of pigeons in a Burger King. Janice McGill, 52, was enjoying a day out in Glasgow with her cousin last week when they decided to eat in the Queen Street outlet. Janice, from Irvine, said: “There were trays and food all over the place. It was disgusting. There were two pigeons walking about on the tables and the floor, rummaging through the food wrappers.”
A Burger King spokesman said: “We take this incident extremely seriously as customer experience and satisfaction are of paramount importance to Burger King.”
Pigeon Patrol could have helped this store by supplying them with the Ultra-Flex bird or pigeon spikes or the best Ultrasonic sound unit on the market today. TubeSonic.

Disgruntle tenant has gone to the birds
Pigeon Patrol called out to help with the roosting pigeons.
A North Vancouver man is crying foul over the effort he says he had to go through to get his landlord to deal with an unhealthy mess of pigeon poop lying inches deep outside his apartment.
“There’s certain standards they are supposed to abide by,” said Michael Ravenscroft, who rents an apartment at 107 West 1st Street.
Ravenscroft said he complained to his property management company, the City of North Vancouver and the health department for a month about the problem before anyone took notice.
“Any other situation where there’s a biohazard, they have a hazmat team come in,” said Ravenscroft. “It’s taken way too lightly.”
Ravenscroft said any time he’s called the authorities, to ask that the property owners be ordered to clean up the pigeon droppings, “They say it’s done. It’s not done.”
Ravenscroft said he first became concerned there might be a problem when he smelled something bad in one area of his apartment and couldn’t find the source, no matter how much he cleaned. It was only when he looked outside, to one of two light shafts running down the middle of the heritage building, that he realized what the problem was: layers of pigeon droppings and decomposing pigeon carcasses.
Until recently, Ravenscroft said he had a hard time getting anyone to take the issue seriously.
Pigeons, that often make nests in covered areas of buildings, are known to carry diseases that can be transferred to humans.
Pigeon droppings can carry funguses and – more rarely – an infectious disease that can be contracted by anyone breathing in dried droppings.
Paul Markey, environmental health officer for Vancouver Coastal Health, said the risk is greatest for people actually cleaning the mess rather than living near it.
Markey said a health officer met the property manager on site last week and received assurances the light shaft areas will be cleaned.
Markey added that a number of pigeon-proofing measures have already been placed around the building – including metal spikes that prevent pigeons and other birds from roosting.
He said those will now have to be added to the areas of the building above the light shafts.
Joanne Stevens of Living Balance, the property management company for the building, said she’s aware of the problem and is arranging for cleanup and further pigeon-proofing.
Andrew MacBain of Pigeon Patrol, a Lower Mainland company that specializes in bird-proofing, said he’s taken a look at the problem and will be submitting a plan to get all areas cleaned up by the end of the week.
Pigeons are a huge pest problem all over the Lower Mainland, said MacBain – roosting on ledges, apartment balconies or under awnings. MacBain said his company manufactures and installs spikes to deter the birds, as well as netting and Ultrasonic and sonic devices that scare birds away with high-pitched frequencies as well as sounds that imitate predators.
He adds there’s no shortage of business.

It is about time Pigeon Patrol says that, some bread thrower has been fined for feeding the birds!
A PENSIONER says she was ‘humiliated’ after being issued with a fine for feeding pigeons.
The 82-year-old, from Leigh, was feeding the pigeons with bird food she had brought from the market on Bradshawgate last Monday, January 27, when she was approached by a Wigan Council environment enforcement officer.
He informed her she was in breach of section 87 of the Environmental Protection Act and issued her a fixed penalty notice for littering. Council has a zero tolerance policy towards littering and bird feeding.
Using an Ultrasonic Repeller would have shooed those pigeons away and the feeding would never had happened.
