The Brighton Clock Tower, a proud piece of the city’s 19th-century heritage, is under siege. Not by vandals or weather—but by pigeons. The acidic nature of their droppings is slowly eroding the sandstone structure, prompting alarm from conservationists and city officials alike.
“The pigeons have turned this into their personal toilet,” said heritage consultant Roger Fairbanks, shaking his head. “And the worst part is the damage is cumulative. What’s already been lost can’t be restored.”

Pigeons!!!
According to the Brighton Historical Society, the tower has not undergone a full cleaning in over five years. Recent inspections revealed black crusted layers of guano on upper ledges and a corrosion ring forming around the base.
Local residents are upset by what they see as neglect. “It’s embarrassing,” said Anna Pritchard, who brings tourists to the area. “They ask me about the clock, and I’m afraid to tell them what’s actually on it.”
City engineers are now weighing the cost of installing anti-roosting spikes and motion-activated deterrents. Meanwhile, experts warn that if the situation isn’t addressed soon, the damage could become irreversible.

Commuters at the Jackson CTA Station experienced unusual delays this morning—not because of technical malfunctions, but because of an unexpected menace: pigeon droppings.
Two riders slipped and fell on the southbound platform around 8 a.m., prompting a temporary halt in service while janitorial crews responded. No major injuries were reported, but the incident has raised questions about safety and sanitation in public transit spaces.
“The smell hits you first,” said Mark Ellis, a daily commuter. “Then you see the mess—droppings everywhere. Benches, railings, even the signs. It’s gotten out of hand.”

An elderly man enjoys a cold winter morning in the city.
Transit authorities said the problem has been building for months. Pigeons roost in the station’s rafters, undeterred by current pest control measures. According to CTA spokesperson Nia Harrell, “We’re working on a long-term plan that includes physical deterrents, more frequent cleanings, and consultation with pest control specialists.”
Harrell added that the CTA is exploring ethical deterrent methods like reflective strips, ultrasonic devices, and even using trained birds of prey in partnership with local falconers.

Roosevelt Middle School is facing a crisis that has nothing to do with test scores or staffing—it’s pigeons. Dozens of the birds have taken up residence on the school roof, leaving droppings throughout outdoor hallways, handrails, and the student quad.
“I’m scared my daughter will catch something,” said Delia Morales, mother of a 6th grader. “They eat lunch out there! There’s poop on the tables every day.”
The school’s janitorial staff reports spending hours daily trying to hose down surfaces before students arrive. Despite this, children have reportedly stepped in droppings, and some even reported seeing pigeons nesting inside a broken roof vent near the gymnasium.
Principal Tom Ferris acknowledged the growing concerns at a PTA meeting last Thursday. “We’re requesting emergency funds to install bird netting and roof barriers,” he said. “We’re also consulting with environmental safety inspectors to make sure there’s no health risk.”

lots of pigeons gathering for food
Parents are organizing a volunteer cleanup day while pushing the district to take faster action. “This isn’t just a nuisance anymore—it’s a hazard,” said PTA President Carla Hsu.

Portland’s outdoor dining renaissance is facing a surprising adversary: pigeons. In the trendy Pearl District, restaurant owners are reporting a surge in droppings on tables, chairs, and patios—forcing some to close outdoor sections during peak hours.
“It’s costing us money,” said Daniel Nguyen, owner of Nest Café. “We had to throw out six tablecloths in one day. And when guests get hit mid-meal, they don’t exactly come back.”
Birds roost on streetlights and awnings overhead, raining down waste during lunch and dinner hours. The problem has become so visible that several restaurant owners are banding together to form a “Pigeon Patrol” task force to lobby the city for help.

Pigeon Ohhh NO!!
A pilot project involving trained falcons is already underway in a nearby neighborhood, and Pearl District restaurateurs are hoping to be next. “It sounds dramatic, but it works,” said Susan Albrecht, who owns a bakery down the block. “The moment those falcons show up, the pigeons scatter.”
For now, staff are keeping hoses, disinfectants, and umbrellas close at hand. But many agree: a long-term fix is urgently needed before the poop problem affects tourism—and reputations.

If you want to stop pigeons from nesting entirely, a pigeon net is one of the most reliable and long-lasting solutions. Bird netting physically blocks birds from accessing protected spaces—without harming them.
In this guide, you’ll learn when to use pigeon netting, how it works, and which areas of your property will benefit most from this type of bird control.
What Is Pigeon Netting?
Pigeon netting is UV-stabilized mesh designed to keep birds out of specific areas: balconies, rooftops, parking garages, and commercial spaces.
