										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I URGE Wycombe District Council to move away from their barbaric, ineffective and costly proposal to kill pigeons, and to instead consider the humane and intelligent alternatives to reduce the pigeon population humanely.</p>
<p>Lethal culling through the use of birds of prey, etc, will produce some temporary reduction in pigeon population numbers but, just as with the culling of stray dogs in urban environments overseas, the area vacated by the culled pigeons will be taken up by other pigeons, unless the council is prepared to maintain the intensive use of a hawk in perpetuity, all making their proposal an expensive and inhumane solution.</p>

<p>Scientific research carried out in Switzerland by the University of Basel, between 1988 and 1992, clearly demonstrates that killing pigeons as a control option is not only expensive but also counter-productive.</p>
<p>During a census in 1963, the City of Basel was found to have a pigeon population of 20,000 birds and in the following 24 years the city council used every means at their disposal to reduce the population, including killing over 100,000 pigeons inhumanely. In 1988, a count revealed that Basel’s wild pigeon population was nearer 30,000 pigeons, an increase of 33% over and above the figure of 20,000 birds counted in the 1963 census.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-32691 alignright" src="https://www.pigeonpatrol.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/barn-bird-netting-lethbridge.jpg" alt="Bird netting installed in barn in Lethbridge" width="316" height="399" />This dramatic increment in flock size confirmed that the city council’s lethal control policy, operated between 1963 and 1985, had not only been totally ineffective, but had actually resulted in an increase in flock size of nearly one third. As a result, the city council realized that the problem had to be tackled at source</p>
<p>Between 1988 and 1990 the City of Basel introduced a massive information campaign to educate the public about pigeons and the relationship between feeding and resultant overpopulation.</p>
<p>Alongside the campaign, the council asked the University of Basel to carry out a scientific study to find a solution. This well-documented research concluded that killing pigeons had no effect on reducing flock size and in most cases resulted in an increase in pigeon numbers.</p>
<p>Based on the view that lethal control could not reduce population size the research team looked at non-conventional and quite diverse methods.</p>
<p>The idea of providing artificial breeding facilities where eggs could be removed and replaced with dummy eggs was put into practice. During the four-year research period, over 1,200 eggs each year were removed and replaced with dummy ones. Over a 50-month period this had the effect of reducing the pigeon population in these test areas by a staggering 50 per cent. In addition, large quantities of pigeon excrement were removed.</p>

<p>It is Germany that is now setting the example. The city of Augsburg voted to improve and expand its humane pigeon control programme by the creation of pigeon lofts in converted roof voids in buildings. In just one year, the council removed 1,200 eggs from seven pigeon lofts.</p>
<p>The use of dovecotes and designated feeding areas in public places combined with the use of lofts has also helped local authorities and sites in the UK to concentrate and control pigeon numbers in a humane but highly effective manner.</p>
<p>Nottingham City Hospital was awarded the RSPCA Best Practices Award (2003) for adopting a non-lethal strategy. The hospital’s pigeon population has decreased dramatically down to 65 birds and this is from a start figure of 1,200. WDC, please consider an intelligent and humane alternative. The scientific proof and evidence is well documented and should not be ignored. There are control regimes that are 100% non-lethal, sustainable, inexpensive and publicly acceptable. That aside, the people of High Wycombe will not react well to the potential scenario of a bird of prey tearing a pigeon apart and then eating it alive in the town centre in front of children, tourists and residents.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Summary</strong></p>
<p>Feral pigeons (<em>Columbia livia</em> <em>var. domestica</em>) can be a nuisance and may cause significant damage to buildings.  If feral pigeons take up residence within a disused property they can seriously damage the interior historic fabric, contents and finishes.  It is vital to take measures to minimise pigeon activity in and around buildings in order to avoid additional maintenance issues and significant problems for renovation projects.</p>
<p>Rectifying the damage caused to the fabric of a property by pigeon guano (bird excreta) is expensive and in most cases avoidable.  There are many methods of pigeon control including bird proofing, wire deterrent systems, netting, bird spikes and a large variety of electrical and sonic bird deterrent solutions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Introduction</strong></p>
<p>Feral pigeons and other birds make nests regularly and roost outside and inside our buildings.  Architects, surveyors, construction professionals and maintenance staff are all familiar with the damage that can be caused by these birds sharing our environment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>History</strong></p>
<p>Feral pigeons are believed to have descended from rock doves that interbred with racing pigeons and pigeons from domestic pigeon lofts.  Skyscrapers and similar tall buildings provide ideal habitats, very similar to the cliff homes of their pigeon ancestors.</p>
<p>These pigeons have thrived by adapting to life in and around our buildings and have learnt to roost and breed very successfully within this environment.  They thrive on a plentiful supply of our dropped and dumped food scraps.  As they have adapted so excellently to this style of living, they have sometimes been called &#8220;the flying rat&#8221;.  It’s no surprise that over recent years there has been a marked increase in the numbers of feral pigeons.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Adult Pigeons</strong></p>
<p>The adult pigeon is about 33cm in length and weighs between 280 and 560g, an average of about 350g.  Its plumage can vary considerably, from a close resemblance to that of the original rock dove (with blue-grey plumage, double black wing bars and a white rump), through to various blues, reds, chequered and almost black types.  Colours vary considerably from blue-grey, through blues, reds, mottled patterns and charcoal to almost pure white (Simms, 1979).</p>
<p>The birds will roost and nest on horizontal building surfaces and any other structures that provide a small amount of shelter from the elements.  Balconies, flat roofs, ledges, loft spaces and empty buildings are often used if the birds have access.</p>
<p>Nests are constructed of twigs but can also contain pieces of plastic and other debris.  They may even be built on or near the dead bodies of other pigeons. Their natural food is grain and green vegetable matter but they will scavenge food and eat almost any foodstuff available such as dropped takeaway foods.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Life Cycle</strong></p>
<p>The Feral Pigeon is capable of breeding throughout the year and nests may be found in any month.  However the peak occurs between March and July.  Usually, two white eggs are laid on consecutive days and incubation is shared between both adults.  Incubation lasts for about 18 days, with fledging taking place about 4 ½ weeks later.  A new clutch can be laid when the first young are just 20 days old.  Therefore up to nine broods may be produced per year by just one female pigeon and pigeons may live as long as thirty years (P Ehrlich et al, 1988)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Deterioration and Damage to Buildings</strong></p>
<p>Pigeon droppings are not only unsightly; their acid content can lead to the deterioration of soft stone and cause long-term damage to buildings (Bassi and Chiantante, 1976; Howard and Oldsbury 1991).  The accumulation of pigeon droppings can deface the finishes of the exterior facade and the interior of the building.  Removal is not only difficult and expensive but can cause more damage than the droppings in the first place (D Channon, 2004).</p>
<p>Nest droppings and feathers block gutters and rainwater pipes causing water damage to buildings.  Their droppings can lead to hazards on pavements, especially for the elderly.  Pigeons are capable of lifting loose roof coverings, tiles and battens to gain entry into the roof voids.  This can significantly damage the structure by allowing water penetration, providing the ideal environmental conditions for the growth and proliferation of wood rotting fungi.  Wood boring insects are attracted to this damp, rotting environment, leading to substantial further decay (Singh 1995).</p>
<p>Pigeon nesting materials, feathers and faeces can block parapet gutters and hopper heads, allowing water penetration into the building fabric and providing the ideal environmental conditions for the growth and development of decay organisms (Singh 1994a, &amp; Singh 1999).</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright" src="https://www.ebssurvey.co.uk/uploads/images/Pidgeon%20photo%202.jpg" alt="" width="562" height="421" /></p>
<p>In poorly maintained and unoccupied buildings, where significant undetected water ingress has occurred, major outbreaks of dry rot (<em>Serpula lacrymans</em>) and wet rots establish and thrive.  These include (<em>Coniophora puteana, Antrodia xantha, A. searilis, A. vaillantti &amp; Phellinus contiguus).  </em>Thesubsequent deterioration to the historic fabric, finishes and contents is an inevitable consequence (Singh 1994).  Sometimes this deterioration is so dramatic that many of the important historical and architectural features are destroyed beyond repair.</p>
<p>Early-morning activity around nesting areas can cause a public nuisance, as can pestering for food. Around public and buildings of historic and touristic interest further problems can arise as the visitors start feeding pigeons.   Their numbers will increase dramatically, leading to extensive faeces and fouling.</p>
<p>Ladders and fire escapes coated in pigeon droppings become slippery and unsafe to use particularly in wet conditions.  Startled pigeons may take flight suddenly and cause a hazard to road traffic.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Pigeons and the Law</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Most birds, their nests and eggs are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.</strong></li>
<li><strong>The act allows the control of certain birds, including feral pigeons, by authorised people using specified methods.</strong></li>
<li><strong>The use of spring traps, poisons, certain types of nets, gassing and sticky substances that may entangle a bird is illegal.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Health Hazards</strong></p>
<p>Large populations of pigeons and other birds inhabiting buildings or living on the facade for many years may present a potential risk of disease to people in and around these buildings (Weber, 1979).</p>
<p>The organic, nutrient rich accumulation of pigeon droppings, including feathers, detritus and debris under a nest provides an ideal environment for disease.  This encourages fungi and bacteria to grow and proliferate.  External parasites may also become a problem when infested pigeons or bats leave their roosts or nests. These parasites can infest buildings and cause health problems to people.  Pigeons can also carry a number of potentially infectious diseases such as salmonella, tuberculosis and ornithosis (a mild form of psittacosis with pneumonia-like symptoms).</p>
<p>They are also a source of allergens, which can cause respiratory ailments like pigeon fancier&#8217;s lung, aspergillosis and allergic skin reaction.  There is potential for these illnesses to be spread to people through contact with pigeon droppings, dandruff and feathers, pigeon parasites, or where dead infected pigeons get into food or water sources.  Health and safety issues and site access problems are also caused by the build up of faeces due to the slippery and unsafe footing it provides on walkways and ledges, hindering proper maintenance.  This may be a particular problem during building works and renovation.  Pigeon faeces represent a health and safety hazard for staff working in contaminated buildings and for employees and operators who have to carry out remediation works. Pigeon infestation in and around buildings therefore represent an added problem in the renovation of buildings where large accumulations have been allowed to build-up, and this nutrient rich guano combined with moisture ingress in buildings provides an ideal environment for the growth and proliferation of moulds (Singh 1994a, Singh &amp; Walker 1996).</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h6>Alfred Hitchcock couldn’t have choreographed it better.</h6>
<h6>Every sunset since mid-December, the sky above St. Luke’s Hospital in Fountain Hill turns black with the fluttering swarm of 5,000 to 10,000 crows that fly from feeding grounds around the Lehigh Valley to roost on a nearby wooded knoll.</h6>
<h6>During their noisy, cawing arrival and even noisier pre-dawn departure — and much of the time between — the large birds have been bombarding the hospital, homes, streets, cars, woods and, yes, residents themselves with the natural end-result of their daylong feedings.</h6>
<h6>The problem has gotten so noxious that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been summoned to harass the birds until they roost elsewhere.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-32644 alignright" src="https://www.pigeonpatrol.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/iStock-1316777859.jpg" alt="" width="496" height="298" /></h6>
<h6>Beginning at dusk today, the USDA and members of St. Luke’s security staff will roust the crows with loud explosives and whistling pyrotechnics, and chase them with amplified crow distress calls until theyflee.</h6>
<h6>“It’s not so much that they’re causing a lot of problems, it’s just that they’re a health hazard. With 5,000 birds, that’s a lot of bird droppings, and that can become a potential health hazard,” said hospital spokesman Steve Andrews.</h6>
<h6>The most significant health threat from crow droppings is a fungal respiratory disease called histoplasmosis, according to Thomas N. Tomsa Jr., district supervisor for USDA Wildlife Services.</h6>
<h6>“The spores can become airborne, and this respiratory fungal disease can develop,” Tomsa said.</h6>
<h6>Though there are no indications that the birds have brought the disease to the wooded area behind the hospital, St. Luke’s officials are taking no chances.</h6>
<h6>St. Luke’s Security Director John Hrubenak said the hospital installed an amplified distress-call sound system two weeks to chase the birds from the roof, which has ventilation ducts and a helicopter landing pad.</h6>
<h6>“We didn’t want them hanging around on our heliport. We just didn’t want to take any chances,” Hrubenak said. “Certainly there was concern about a flock flying into the path of a helicopter.”</h6>
<h6>So far, the distress calls have kept the birds about 300 feet from the roof, he said.</h6>
<h6>It’s not unusual to see so many crows in one place, according to Kevin J. McGowan, a crow expert at Cornell University. American crows are most noticeable when the short winter day comes to an end. Streams of them can be seen flying high overhead, with a sense of purpose.</h6>
<h6>Thousands or tens of thousands converge at a winter roost, congregating from as far away as 20 miles. In the ’70s, a flock in Fort Cobb, Okla., was recorded at 2 million.</h6>
<h6>They like urban areas because the artificial light helps protect them from the great horned owl, their natural enemy, and because urban areas are warmer than the countryside.</h6>
<h6>Crows that breed near the roost site mix with migrants from thousands of miles away.</h6>
<h6>Besides raising concerns at St. Luke’s, the birds have created problems for residents living near the wooded knoll and hospital employees using the lower parking lot off Ostrum Street.</h6>
<h6>The tree-lined path from the front door of Kim Gencarelli’s home at 500 Ostrum St. has turned into a nightly obstacle course.</h6>
<h6>“You’ll walk out of your house and get hit or nearly hit with their stuff,” Gencarelli said. “In order to keep clean from my door to my car, I need an umbrella.”</h6>
<h6>The daily bombardment has also taken its toll on cars. The matter had been compounded by voluntary water rationing, which limited car washing.</h6>
<h6>“On my way to the car wash, I had people staring, pointing and laughing. My car was covered. You really couldn’t see it was brown, it was white,” Gencarelli said.</h6>
<h6>On nearby Brighton Street, Robert Guerriere finds nightly challenges while walking his dog.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-32411 alignright" src="https://www.pigeonpatrol.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/white-rock-bird-spikes.jpg" alt="Bird spikes on White Rock restaurant awning" width="397" height="331" /></h6>
<h6>“I have to look up to see exactly where they are so I don’t get dropped on,” Guerriere said.</h6>
<h6>The birds’ nightly droppings are so prolific, Guerriere said, “It sounds like rain. It’s not fun. It stinks and smells.”</h6>
<h6>But not all have had their feathers ruffled.</h6>
<h6>Ed Sinkler, who lives a block from Gencarelli, said birds are supposed to be in the woods and wondered where they would go when they left.</h6>
<h6>“It’s sort of majestic watching 10,000 crows come in. They make a nice little chorus at 5:30 in the morning,” Sinkler said.</h6>
<h6>“I wish there was a way to lure them somewhere else. That would be a better solution than to scare them up and let them go. These are woods and … that’s where they’re supposed to be.”</h6>
<h6>Tomsa acknowledges the birds may make trouble at another location but prefers to address one problem at a time.</h6>
<h6>Before this year, the birds roosted in the wooded knoll and on the Hill-to-Hill Bridge. But their numbers were only a fraction of what they are this year.</h6>
<h6>In December, Tomsa said, his agency harassed a similar number of crows that had been dumping all over the Capitol complex in Harrisburg. It took about five nights of harassment to make them fly the coop. Similarly, Tomsa said he expects the birds will be flushed from their Fountain Hill roost by the weekend.</h6>
<h6>Even though the nightly two-hour bursts of sound should be enough to force the crows to take flight, the noise will be muffled in the hospital and homes and should present a fraction of the nuisance the birds cause, according to Tomsa.</h6>
<h6>In a letter to Hrubenak, Tomsa wrote that once the birds are gone, they probably won’t return this winter. But they may be back next year.</h6>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="clay-paragraph" data-editable="text" data-uri="nymag.com/_components/clay-paragraph/instances/cju077e2z0bbgqybrm3rtfhl0@published" data-word-count="83">Eighteen frozen pigeons were recently shipped north to the suburban Albany labs of New York State wildlife pathologist Ward Stone. The birds, poisoned by pesticide-spiked rice, were a familiar sight to the medical examiner. He had already autopsied several victims, and this latest batch of corpses, found scattered around a supermarket parking lot in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, put the murder tally in the hundreds – and confirmed Stone’s suspicion that he is on the Carbofuran-laced-birdseed trail of an avian serial killer.</p>
<p class="clay-paragraph" data-editable="text" data-uri="nymag.com/_components/clay-paragraph/instances/cju077e2z0bbhqybruobtn2tm@published" data-word-count="92">The pigeons were added to a pile of more than 400 New York City birds Stone has examined over the past two years. He’s been cataloguing causes of death in our 126-species bird habitat, and his pigeon report joined a folder filled with more exotic necropsies: a Jamaica Bay loon with its waterproofing washed away by detergent; a swan found in Central Park Lake with a lead sinker stuck in its gizzard; two red-tailed hawks from Mary Tyler Moore’s building; and a black-crowned night heron from Prospect Park loaded with four pesticides.</p>
<p class="clay-paragraph" data-editable="text" data-uri="nymag.com/_components/clay-paragraph/instances/cju077e310bbiqybry8gn3q6q@published" data-word-count="138">Besides the vigilante avicides and high-profile mortalities, Stone has examined dozen<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-32421 alignright" src="https://www.pigeonpatrol.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/pigeon-deterrent-pitt-meadows.jpg" alt="Installing bird spikes on commercial rooftop in Pitt Meadows" width="367" height="153" />s of birds killed by the commercial agent Avitrol, used legally by exterminators all over the city. “You can get caught up in the ‘Carbofuran Killer,’ but Avitrol is what’s killing most of the birds in New York City,” argues anti-Avitrol activist Mary Kelly, whose outrage at the sight of dead pigeons plopping to the pavement from lofty aeries on York and 86th Street in 1997 prompted Stone’s larger inquiry. After autopsying Kelly’s birds, Stone recommended a statewide ban on Avitrol (his employers at the state Department of Environmental Conservation issue licenses to exterminators). He has also found the toxic substance in at least one peregrine falcon – evidence, he says, that the agent is passed to other birds up the food chain, since peregrines love pigeon pie.</p>
<p class="clay-paragraph" data-editable="text" data-uri="nymag.com/_components/clay-paragraph/instances/cju077e310bbjqybr03fdid1f@published" data-word-count="59">Thanks to Stone and Kelly, avian awareness has roosted in Albany: An Avitrol-ban bill flew through the State Assembly last year but crashed in the Senate under pesticide-lobby pressure. This year’s version would have given individual localities the right to ban the pesticide, but Governor Pataki clipped the bill’s wings when he vetoed it at the end of July.</p>
<p class="clay-paragraph" data-editable="text" data-uri="nymag.com/_components/clay-paragraph/instances/cju077e310bbkqybrdonh5ynz@published" data-word-count="91">Stone’s activism also prompted wildlife rehabilitators, bird-loving bureaucrats, and other nature freaks to begin scooping and sending the dead crows, starlings, and grackles in their neighborhoods and parks, and Stone plans to release his first-ever comprehensive city bird-necropsy report shortly. He says he was surprised at the “incredible array” of local birds he encountered, “much more than a country boy like me could have expected,” and cites improved water quality – hell, there are cormorants cruising in the <i>Gowanus Canal</i> – as a critical factor in maintaining the city’s “splendiferous” habitat.</p>
<p class="clay-paragraph" data-editable="text" data-uri="nymag.com/_components/clay-paragraph/instances/cju077e310bblqybr03idi2fb@published" data-word-count="73">The pathologist has lost track of the number of times he’s been compared to seventies television hero Quincy, M.E., but he has his own unsolved mysteries to take care of: Those Brooklyn birds, it turns out, were done in by a copycat using a different pesticide (Methomyl) and bait than the Carbofuran Killer. Still, says the scientist, a bit optimistically, “only two purposeful poisoners in a city of millions – that’s not bad.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many bird species are attracted to landfills which take domestic or putrescible waste. These sites provide a reliable, rich source of food which can attract large concentrations of birds. The birds may cause conflicts with human interest with respect to noise, birds carrying litter off site, possible transmission of pathogens in bird droppings and the potential for birdstrikes. In the UK there is an 8 mile safeguarding radius around an airfield, within which any planning applications must pass scrutiny from regulatory bodies to show they will not attract birds into the area and increase the birdstrike risk. Peckfield Landfill site near Leeds, West Yorkshire was chosen for a trial of a netting system designed to exclude birds from domestic waste landfills. The site was assessed for bird numbers before the trial, during the netting trial and after the net had been removed. A ScanCord net was installed for 6 weeks, during which time all household waste was tipped inside the net. Gull numbers decreased on the site from a mean of 107</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-32633 alignright" src="https://www.pigeonpatrol.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/a-a-pigeon-flies-on-the-balcony-of-a-house-protected-by-a-protective-mesh-2.jpg" alt="" width="321" height="321" /></p>
<p>4 per hourly count to 29 per hourly count after two days. The gull numbers increased again after the net had been removed. Bird concentrations in the surroundings were also monitored to assess the effect of the net. Bird numbers in the immediate vicinity of the landfill site were higher than those further away. When the net was installed, the bird concentrations adjacent to the landfill site decreased. Corvids were not affected by the net as they fed on covered waste which was available outside the net throughout the trial. This shows that bird problems on a landfill site are complex, requiring a comprehensive policy of bird control. A supporting bird scaring system and clear operating policy for sites near to airports would be required.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s a rather <em>fowl</em> situation.</p>
<p>A town south of London is facing a bombardment of bird poop brought on by a <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/08/27/pigeon-takes-over-citi-field-as-grounds-crew-chasing-it-gets-booed-vociferously/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">“growing” influx of winged interlopers</a> that officials just don’t have an answer for.</p>
<p>“You walk around and they are cooing above you. All the babies are squawking, and then they could poo on you,” Ashford business owner Vince Monticelli told South West News Service.</p>
<p>“Our town has been taken over by seagulls and pigeons.”</p>
<p>The Ashford Borough Council has been gliding around the issue after walking back April’s plans to get a hawk that would ward off the unwanted new residents in the Kent nabe.</p>
<p>“We have researched carefully, and following consultation with relevant stakeholders and local businesses, we believe at this time there is an insufficient need for a hawk service to be introduced to the town center,” a government spokesperson said.</p>
<p>The situation is “under review” and could include a four-month trial with the predatory bird, though the idea has reportedly been dropped for now.<button class="button button--modal-trigger" aria-label="Open the image in a modal." data-modal-image="28976909"></button><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-28976909 alignright" src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?w=1024" sizes="(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px" srcset="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1500w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=300,216&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 300w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=768,553&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 768w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=1024,737&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=600,432&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 600w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=818,589&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 818w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=689,496&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 689w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=576,415&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 576w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=440,317&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 440w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=392,282&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 392w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=180,130&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 180w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=99,71&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 99w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=56,40&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 56w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=97,70&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 97w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=75,54&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 75w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=200,144&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 200w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=231,166&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 231w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=322,232&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 322w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=613,441&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 613w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=83,60&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 83w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=111,80&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 111w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=1200,864&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 1200w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=81,58&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 81w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=217,156&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 217w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=50,36&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 50w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/SWNS_BIRDS_ASHFORD_004.jpg?resize=150,108&amp;quality=75&amp;strip=all 150w" alt="A town in England is dealing with a surge of pooping birds." width="488" height="351" data-modal-image="28976909" /></p>
<p>Initially, the locale also felt that a hawk being walked around by a professional caretaker also would make for an especially appealing “attraction.”</p>
<p>Monticelli, also, stood firm: “I think they are an issue and the council probably should’ve got the hawk.”</p>
<p>Other locals, like Russell Green, doubled down on the problems pigeons are causing, too.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><figcaption>Troves of pigeons and seagulls are pooping all over an English town.<span class="credit">KM / SWNS</span></figcaption></figure>
<p>“I don’t see why they couldn’t get [a hawk] in for a couple of days a month,” he said. “Once pigeons and seagulls know there is a hawk here, they won’t bother coming back.”</p>
<p>Another man who works in the town, Connor Moon, suggested the winged visitors “don’t do us any harm” and blamed the poop-apalooza on bird brains who feed the avians, inadvertently inviting them to come back — with friends.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think that’s the first time I’ve ever used the word “poop” in a blog title, but I digress…</p>
<p>The infamous “Bird Poop Building” on Yonge Street has been vacant for 25 years, and surprise, surprise – it’s going to be turned into a <em>condo</em>…</p>
<p>If you know me, you know that I have a serious man-love for old, historic, Toronto buildings.</p>
<p>I’m fascinated by our city’s history, and while we simply can’t compete with the thousand-year-old structures in Europe, we <em>do </em>have our own little slice of history here in Toronto.</p>
<p>One of the most fun blog features I ever worked on was <em>The Buildings of The St. Lawrence Market, </em>back in 2009.  I did a three-part series on all the historic buildings in the area; a must-read for many of you who missed it!  You can read Part One <a href="https://torontorealtyblog.com/archives/the-buildings-of-the-st-lawrence-market-neighborhood/1683">HERE.</a></p>
<p>I’ve always admired the <em>Bank of Commerce </em>on Yonge Street, in between Queen &amp; Shuter, but it’s a little…..ummmm……dirty, shall we say?</p>
<p>Over the years, this building has been used and abused by some of the most carefree and unpoliced members of our society: <em>pigeons</em>.</p>
<p>For some reason, pigeons <em>love </em>to empty their bowels (<em>if </em>birds have bowels…..any bird enthusiasts among my readers who can shed some light??) on this building and the neighbouring building immediately north.  Over time, these two buildings have simply become known as “the bird poop buildings.”</p>
<p>And seeing the photos I took below, can you argue?</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="" src="https://www.hawkeye.ca/images/blog-pigeon-poop.webp" alt="How to Remove Pigeon Poop" width="557" height="228" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Wow.  I don’t know what to say…</p>
<p>I’ve walked by these buildings many, many times over the years, and I’ve always thought, “I really wish somebody would <em>do </em>something with those buildings!”  It’s such a shame that a great piece of Toronto’s history is just sitting there getting crapped on by these guys:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Damn pigeons!</p>
<p>Well, time hasn’t been kind to the Bank of Commerce at 197-199 Yonge Street, but the future is bright!</p>
<p>I suppose it’s a bit of a double-edged sword, however.  I had always hoped that this beautiful building would be restored and turned into a library, museum, or event hall, but in actual fact, it’s going to be turned into yet another <em>condo</em>.  I suppose it’s the lesser of two evils; that is, it would be worse to see the building torn down or have it fall into even worse disrepair, although I’m not sure that’s possible…</p>
<p>Built in 1905, the Bank of Commerce has actually been abandoned since 1987!  It’s had many different uses over the years, and you can actually still see the words “DENTIST” on the second floor of the building where somebody probably practiced in the 60’s or 70’s:</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="" src="https://preview.redd.it/had-enough-of-this-pigeon-shit-v0-dzr0n1chc2bc1.jpeg?width=640&amp;crop=smart&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=78ec7dede56bc3f311836742140c829297868ba4" alt="Had enough of this (pigeon) shit. : r/astoria" width="252" height="336" /></p>
<p>Little-known developer, <em>MOD Developments </em>will be turning the historical building into a 60-storey condominium called “Massey Towers,” which already has a large advertisement up at the current site.  MOD Development’s only other project to date is <em>FIVE Condos </em>at St. Joseph’s &amp; Yonge Street, but Massey Towers will be designed by renowned firm <em>Hariri Pontarini Architects, </em>whose projects are too many to name, but include One City Hall, Minto775, ART, Shangri-La, and my current residence, Vu Condos.</p>
<p>Like I said – it’s cliche that this site will become “yet, <em>another </em>condo,” but it’s better than letting it sit there and rot.</p>
<p>The article in this past week’s <em>Globe &amp; Mail</em>, quoted the owner of MOD Developments, Gary Switzer, as saying, “What does it say about our city to have a building like this empty right on the main street?”</p>
<p>I couldn’t possibly agree more.</p>
<p>Yonge Street is famous!  It’s the best-known street in Toronto, and one of the most well-known streets in our entire country!</p>
<p>How could we let this happen?</p>
<p>Yet we have a poo-covered building sitting there, rotting away.</p>
<p>It reminds me of this:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Those of you that read my blog during its infancy in 2007 will recall the photos and blog posts from my trip to <em>Serbia</em>.</p>
<p>These buildings are on the Belgrade’s equivalent of Yonge Street, and the city doesn’t have the money to fix them, so they don’t.  These buildings have been sitting here in this condition for almost twenty years, and they’ll likely remain as such indefinitely.</p>
<p>Toronto is not Serbia, but yet the Bank of Commerce and its sister building at 205 Yonge Street, the <em>Bank of Toronto</em>, draw some eerie similarities to the photo above:</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="" src="https://st4.depositphotos.com/22452466/24561/i/450/depositphotos_245611904-stock-photo-pigeons-bench-city-park.jpg" alt="Pigeon poop Stock Photos, Royalty Free Pigeon poop Images | DepositPhotos" width="433" height="255" /></p>
<p>Two buildings, both beautiful and historic, and both ruined by time.  And poo…</p>
<p>The crazy thing is – the Bank of Toronto is an even more impressive structure!  I wonder what will become of that building?  Perhaps, <em>phase two </em>of the condominium development at Massey Towers?</p>
<p>Dare to dream…</p>

<p><strong>1. Prevent Property Damage</strong><br />Birds may be light, but their damage is heavy:</p>
<ul>
<li>Acidic droppings corrode metal, paint, and concrete.</li>
<li>Nesting debris clogs gutters and damages HVAC units.</li>
<li>Woodpeckers can drill into siding and cause rot.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>2. Reduce Health Risks<br /></strong>Bird droppings carry over 60 transmittable diseases, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Histoplasmosis</li>
<li>Cryptococcosis</li>
<li>E. coli</li>
</ul>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Birds might be beautiful in the wild—but not when they’re roosting on your <strong>roof, business sign, or solar panels</strong>. Whether you&#8217;re a homeowner dealing with pigeons or a commercial property manager dealing with a larger infestation, <strong>professional bird control services</strong> are your best defense against <strong>property damage, health risks, and daily mess.</strong></p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3><strong>Why Bird Control Services Are Important</strong></h3>
<p><strong>1. Birds Cause Expensive Property Damage</strong><br />From clogged gutters to corroded paint and broken roof tiles, <strong>pigeon and seagull droppings are acidic</strong> and incredibly destructive.</p>
<p><strong>2. Health Hazards from Droppings and Nests</strong><br />Birds carry parasites, bacteria, and fungi. A build-up of droppings can lead to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Histoplasmosis</li>
<li>Salmonella</li>
<li>Cryptococcosis</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>3. Businesses Suffer Image and Revenue Losses</strong><br />No customer wants to walk under a bird-infested awning. Droppings, noise, and feathers drive away foot traffic and <strong>create bad impressions</strong>.</p></div>

The good news? There are <strong>effective and humane methods to get rid of pigeons on your roof—and keep them away.</strong></p>
<p>Let’s walk you through the <strong>best pigeon control strategies</strong>, the <strong>tools you&#8217;ll need</strong>, and <strong>how to pigeon-proof your roof</strong> for good.</p></div>

<ol>
<li><strong>Elevated &amp; Safe</strong><br />Roofs give pigeons a great vantage point to spot food, avoid predators, and nest in peace.</li>
<li><strong>Warm and Dry<br /></strong>Roof vents, eaves, and solar panels offer sheltered nesting areas year-round.</li>
<li><strong>Access to Nearby Food<br /></strong>Urban rooftops are usually near dumpsters, restaurants, and gardens, making them pigeon hotspots.</li>

<li><strong>Fire Hazards</strong> – Pigeons nest in vents and chimneys, increasing fire risks.</li>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Pigeons may seem harmless, but once they start nesting on your property, they can become <strong>a major nuisance</strong>. They leave <strong>droppings that corrode surfaces</strong>, spread <strong>diseases</strong>, and create an <strong>unsanitary environment</strong>. If you’re struggling with <strong>pigeon infestations</strong>, you need an effective <strong>pigeon bird repellent</strong>.</p>
<p>Luckily, there are <strong>several humane ways</strong> to <strong>repel pigeons</strong> and <strong>prevent them from returning</strong>. In this guide, we’ll explore:<br /><strong></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The best pigeon repellents available</strong></li>
<li><strong>Where to apply pigeon deterrents</strong></li>
<li><strong>How to keep pigeons away permanently</strong></li>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2><strong>Why Pigeons Are a Problem</strong></h2>
<p>Pigeons are <strong>persistent birds</strong> that thrive in urban areas. Without proper deterrents, they can <strong>cause serious issues</strong>, including:</p>
<h3><strong>1. Property Damage</strong></h3>
<p>Pigeon droppings are <strong>acidic</strong> and can <strong>corrode paint, concrete, and metal surfaces</strong>. Over time, this can lead to <strong>structural damage</strong> on buildings, vehicles, and monuments.</p>
<h3><strong>2. Health Risks &amp; Diseases</strong></h3>
<p>Pigeons carry bacteria and parasites that can lead to <strong>serious health issues</strong>, including:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Histoplasmosis</strong> – A respiratory disease caused by fungal spores in pigeon droppings.</li>
<li><strong>Salmonella</strong> – A bacteria that can contaminate food and water sources.</li>
<li><strong>E. coli</strong> – Another bacterial infection spread through pigeon waste.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>3. Nesting Problems</strong></h3>
<p>Pigeons often <strong>nest in gutters, vents, and chimneys</strong>, causing blockages that can <strong>lead to flooding, poor ventilation, and fire hazards</strong>.</p>
<h3><strong>4. Business Disruptions</strong></h3>
<p>For businesses, pigeons can create <strong>a dirty and unprofessional appearance</strong>, driving away customers and increasing cleaning costs.</p></div>

<p>Pigeons are <strong>easily startled</strong> by sudden movement and shiny objects. Reflective bird tape and <strong>predator decoys</strong> (such as <strong>fake owls or hawks</strong>) can effectively scare pigeons away.</p>
<p><strong >Best Uses:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li >Hang reflective tape near <strong>windows, balconies, and patios</strong>.</li>
<li >Move decoys regularly to <strong>prevent pigeons from realizing they’re fake</strong>.</li>

<p>To ensure <strong>maximum effectiveness</strong>, place pigeon repellents in <strong>high-risk areas</strong>, including:</p>
<h3><strong>1. Rooftops and Ledges</strong></h3>
<p>Pigeons <strong>love flat surfaces</strong> where they can perch safely. Use <strong>bird spikes or ultrasonic repellents</strong> on these areas.</p>
<h3><strong>2. Balconies and Windowsills</strong></h3>
<p>For <strong>apartment buildings and homes</strong>, install <strong>reflective tape, bird spikes, or ultrasonic devices</strong> to <strong>keep pigeons away</strong>.</p>
<h3><strong>3. Storefronts and Signs</strong></h3>
<p>Businesses often struggle with pigeons <strong>perching on signs and awnings</strong>. <strong>Bird spikes and repellent sprays</strong> can prevent pigeons from <strong>ruining storefront appearances</strong>.</p>
<h3><strong>4. Parking Lots and Warehouses</strong></h3>
<p>Larger spaces may require <strong>bird netting or motion-activated bird deterrents</strong> to protect vehicles and equipment.</p>

<p>Using a <strong>single pigeon repellent</strong> might not be enough for <strong>long-term results</strong>. Here’s how to ensure pigeons <strong>stay away for good</strong>:</p>
<h3><strong>Step 1: Identify Pigeon Entry Points</strong></h3>
<p>Look for <strong>nests, droppings, and feathers</strong> to determine where pigeons are <strong>roosting</strong>.</p>
<h3><strong>Step 2: Use Multiple Pigeon Deterrents</strong></h3>
<p>Combine <strong>bird spikes, ultrasonic repellents, and sprays</strong> for <strong>maximum effectiveness</strong>.</p>
<h3><strong>Step 3: Remove Food and Water Sources</strong></h3>
<p>Pigeons <strong>won’t leave</strong> if they have <strong>easy access to food</strong>. Keep garbage bins <strong>sealed</strong>, remove <strong>bird feeders</strong>, and <strong>clean up food scraps</strong>.</p>
<h3><strong>Step 4: Perform Regular Maintenance</strong></h3>
<p>Inspect and <strong>reapply repellents</strong> every few months to keep pigeons <strong>from returning</strong>.</p></div>

<p><strong>Pigeon traps</strong> allow you to <strong>capture birds without harming them</strong>, making it easier to remove them from your property while complying with humane wildlife control laws.</p>
<p>In this guide, we’ll cover:<br /><strong></strong></p>

<li><strong>The best types of traps for different situations</strong></li>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2><strong>What Are Pigeon Traps?</strong></h2>
<p>Pigeon traps are <strong>cage-like enclosures</strong> designed to capture birds <strong>without injury</strong>. These traps usually have <strong>one-way entry doors</strong>, allowing pigeons to enter for bait but preventing them from exiting.</p>
<h3><strong>How Do Pigeon Traps Work?</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bait attracts pigeons</strong> into the trap.</li>
<li><strong>A one-way door closes behind them</strong>, ensuring they can’t escape.</li>
<li><strong>Once enough pigeons are captured, they can be safely relocated</strong>.</li>

<h3><strong>2. Multiple-Catch Cage Traps</strong></h3>
<p>These traps allow you to <strong>capture multiple pigeons at once</strong> and are useful for <strong>larger infestations</strong>. They are best for <strong>parks, warehouses, and large properties</strong>.</p>
<h3><strong>3. Drop-Down Traps</strong></h3>
<p>These traps are <strong>trigger-activated</strong>, meaning that when a pigeon steps on the platform, the door <strong>drops closed</strong> behind them.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Have you noticed pigeons perching on your fence or small animals like raccoons and squirrels climbing over? Fence spikes are an <strong>easy, humane, and effective solution</strong> to deter unwanted birds and pests.</p>
<p>Fence spikes <strong>prevent birds from roosting</strong> and make it <strong>difficult for animals or intruders to climb fences</strong>. They are a <strong>non-harmful way</strong> to protect your property from nuisance wildlife while adding an extra layer of <strong>security</strong>.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2><strong>What Are Fence Spikes?</strong></h2>
<p>Fence spikes are <strong>thin, pointed strips</strong> that can be attached to <strong>fences, walls, and ledges</strong> to prevent birds and animals from landing or climbing.</p>
<p>They are typically made of:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Plastic</strong> – Lightweight, affordable, and easy to install.</li>
<li><strong>Metal (Stainless Steel or Aluminum)</strong> – More durable, weather-resistant, and suitable for high-security areas.</li>
</ul></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2><strong>How Do Fence Spikes Work?</strong></h2>
<p>Fence spikes <strong>do not injure or harm animals</strong>—they simply create an <strong>uncomfortable surface</strong> that prevents perching, climbing, or trespassing.</p>
<p>Pigeons, for example, prefer <strong>flat, stable surfaces</strong> to land on. When spikes are in place, they <strong>look for another location</strong> that is easier to access. Similarly, raccoons and cats will struggle to <strong>grip and climb over a fence</strong> with spikes.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2><strong>Why You Need Fence Spikes?</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>1. Prevent Pigeons and Other Birds from Perching</strong></h3>
<p>Birds love to perch on fences, leaving <strong>unsightly droppings</strong> and making noise. Fence spikes provide a <strong>simple and long-term solution</strong> to keep them away.</p>
<h3><strong>2. Stop Animals from Climbing Over Fences</strong></h3>
<p>Fence spikes can <strong>deter small animals</strong> like:<br />✅ Raccoons<br />✅ Squirrels<br />✅ Cats<br />✅ Possums</p>
<p>These animals often <strong>use fences as pathways</strong> to access food sources or nesting areas. With spikes in place, they will <strong>move on to another location</strong>.</p>
<h3><strong>3. Improve Property Security</strong></h3>
<p>Fence spikes act as an <strong>extra deterrent against intruders</strong> by making it difficult to <strong>climb over walls or fences</strong>. They are often used in:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Residential homes</strong> – Prevent break-ins.</li>
<li><strong>Commercial properties</strong> – Deter trespassers and vandals.</li>
<li><strong>Industrial sites</strong> – Protect equipment and supplies.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>4. Weatherproof and Long-Lasting</strong></h3>
<p>Most fence spikes are made from <strong>durable materials</strong> like stainless steel or high-quality plastic. They can withstand:<br />☀️ <strong>Sun exposure</strong><br />🌧️ <strong>Rain and snow</strong><br />💨 <strong>Strong winds</strong></p>
<p>Once installed, they require <strong>little to no maintenance</strong>.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2><strong>How to Install Fence Spikes</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Step 1: Choose the Right Type of Spikes</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Plastic spikes</strong> are best for <strong>residential fences</strong> and areas with low security concerns.</li>
<li><strong>Metal spikes</strong> are ideal for <strong>high-security zones, commercial properties, and industrial sites</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Step 2: Clean the Installation Surface</strong></h3>
<p>Remove any <strong>dirt, bird droppings, or debris</strong> before installation. This ensures <strong>a strong bond</strong> with the surface.</p>
<h3><strong>Step 3: Measure and Cut Spikes to Fit</strong></h3>
<p>Use <strong>scissors or wire cutters</strong> to trim spikes <strong>to the required length</strong>.</p>
<h3><strong>Step 4: Attach the Spikes Securely</strong></h3>

<h3><strong>Step 5: Inspect for Gaps</strong></h3>
<p>Ensure there are <strong>no spaces</strong> where birds or animals can still land or climb through.</p></div>
