Commonly known as Pigeons, Rock Pigeons are often considered a nuisance by some city officials and some farm businesses.
In cities they congregate in large flocks and can create messes with their droppings.
On farms, eating grains and possible harm to livestock through bacteria and viruses are concerns about these birds.
Many pigeon deterents are available online to prevent nesting in areas they’re not wanted.
Introduced into North America from Europe in the 1600’s, these birds have been associated with humans for thousands of years.
Rock Doves are thought to have been the first domesticated bird, raised for meat as far back as the time of the ancient Egyptians.
Description
Pigeons have different colors due to breeding by humans. They are the descendants of the wild Rock Dove of Europe.
About 13 inches in length with a dark gray head, iridescent neck, with a light gray back and 2 dark wing bars.
Mating – Breeding Habits
Like Mourning Doves, pairs are monogamous, often breeding in consecutive seasons for as long as both birds of a pair live.
Most will attempt to raise several broods each year. Sometimes as many as four or five broods will be raised in a single year.
The breeding season of these birds can be all year provided climate conditions allow. There seems to be some slowing down during the winter months.
Nesting Habits
The nesting habits of Pigeons are a bit unique. The male chooses a site in view of the female, selecting one stick and bringing it back, lays it in front of his mate.
The female who stays at the nesting site accepts the sticks the male brings to her and places them underneath her.
The nest of these birds can be found along building ledges, rafters, beams, under bridges or inside barns.
The nest is saucer-like in shape and made of stems and leaves.
The female may sit on the nest a day or two before the first egg is laid. Generally 2 white eggs are laid.
Both the male and female will incubate but the female will spend the most time on the eggs since she will be on the nest from mid-afternoon to mid-morning.
Incubation last for about 18 days. When the eggs hatch the young are covered in yellow down.
Young pigeons in the nest are referred to as “squabs”
Initially, the squabs are fed what is referred to as crop milk. This is a regurgitated thick liquid food that comes from the parents crops.
At about 10 days the squabs are fed increasing amounts of the food types that adults eat and are no longer dependent on crop milk.
The young will double in size in a day and a half. Making them one of the fastest growing vertebrate in the world.
Within 2 weeks the flight feathers begin to emerge and by week 3 the squabs are covered in feathers.
The tail and full feathering is completed by the 28th day and their weight is that of an adult.
The young will now leave the nest and the male will teach them what they need to know to survive.
This is 10 – 15 days longer than most of our backyard birds.
The female will begin a new clutch and this cycle will repeat about every 30 days when weather cooperates.
Do Pigeons Reuse the Same Nest
It’s more accurate to say that the same nest site is used as the second and subsequent nest are built on top of the previous nest.
Nest that are several years old can measure out to be as much as 7 inches high and 19 inches wide.
Feeding Habits – What Pigeons Eat
Rock Pigeons feed on the ground. To prevent seed spoilage and to keep the birds healthy a ground feeder is recommended for all ground feeding birds.
The best types of food to offer these birds are properly mixed seeds specifically made for doves and pigeons.
Predators
The primary preadators of pigeons include: man, peregrin falcon, and cats. Nest predators include oppossums, raccoons, crows and owls. Hawks will capture perching birds.
Are Pigeons Smart Birds?
According to Professor Richard J. Herrnstein at the Harvard Psychological Laboratories they are. Pigeons were smart enough to learn all the letters of the english alphabet.
In another study, Pigeons were able to recognize themselves in a mirror. This makes them one of six species and the only non-mammal to be able to do so.
So yes, Pigeons are a pretty smart bird.
What is the Lifespan of Pigeons?
Pigeons may live 3 – 6 years in the wild with the average being 3 – 4 years. In captivity they have lived as long as 15 years depending on the care given to the bird.
Pigeons in History
During the world wars, Homing Pigeons were trained to return to a loft in the UK.
Troops then took the pigeons with them and used them to send messages when radio and written communication were being intercepted.
Pigeon Fun Facts
Pigeons have the ability to see about 26 miles.
When fully feather, adult pigeons have around 10,000 feathers.
There are approximately 400 million pigeons in the world.

Pigeons may seem harmless, but these pest birds cause millions of dollars in damage every year to buildings, ventilation systems, machinery, statues, roofs, and much more. Bird droppings and nesting materials left by pigeons pose physical problems and health hazards that can become very serious if not corrected quickly making prompt and effective professional bird control is often essential.
Potential Health Hazards:
There are many health risks associated with pigeons and their droppings. The bacteria, fungi, and ectoparasites that they and their droppings harbor are numerous. The four most common ways disease is passed by bird to human are: inhalation of fecal dust, food and water contaminated with bird feces, direct contact with feces, and parasitic transfer.
Pigeon droppings can expose humans to many diseases, including salmonella, Newcastle disease, candidiasis, encephalitis, orthosis, and toxoplasmosis. In addition, they can also carry cryptococcosis, and coccidiodomycosis, which cause meningitis. The droppings may also harbor growth of fungus, which causes histoplasmosis. Fleas, lice, mites, and other pests often live on these birds, hitching a ride to where ever they want to jump off. Pigeons may also attract other pests, such as rats, which feed on dead pigeons and food that well-intentioned bird lovers may scatter for them.
In addition to disease, bird droppings are known for triggering people to slip and fall, which makes it especially important to rid the birds from highly trafficked areas.
Damage Caused by Pigeons:
These are messy birds, leaving droppings everywhere they go, particularly near their roost sites. Pigeon droppings are not just gross, they are also full of uric acid which makes them extremely corrosive. The droppings are the direct cause of millions of dollars in damage to buildings and other structures. Particularly vulnerable are painted surfaces, awnings, signs, and other similar surfaces. A tragic example of the corrosiveness of pigeon droppings is the Minnesota bridge accident in 2007, which was found to be the direct result of bird droppings eating away at the metal bridge supports until they weakened.
In addition to the damage cause by their acidic droppings, pigeon nests can also cause damage. Pest birds will often build nests in gutters or on roof corners blocking essential drainage systems. Every year several warehouses experience roof damage, and even collapse, when drainage systems have been blocked and standing water rises just six inches. Bird nests can also block ventilation systems, which not only prevents exhaust of potentially harmful gases, but also has the potential to spread diseases. Fire is also a potential hazard. Nesting materials are usually flammable, consisting of twigs, straw, grasses and dried droppings. When pest birds build their nests inside electric signs or other machinery there is a great risk of fire.
Pigeons are creatures of habit and highly social. Once they have found a cozy spot the will return again and again, bringing along more of their pigeon pals. Prolific breeders, pigeons can hatch several broods a year, sometimes even laying a new clutch before the previous have even hatched. Often our buildings and structures have architectural features such as drain spouts and eaves that make perfect nesting spots for these birds. Pigeons are comfortable around humans and they’re hard to scare away or deter. Once a flock of stubborn unwanted pigeons have set up shop in/on your building, it can be stubbornly resistant to removal, often requiring the services of a pest control or animal control professional. As is true of many pests that invade our homes and businesses, the first step to controlling feral pigeons is to remove their food source.
Tips to deter pigeons:
Don’t feed the pigeons.
Screen drains and gutters to make your property less attractive to pigeons.
Encourage children to pick up spilled food – and teach them NOT to feed pigeons
Keep areas around trash bins and outdoor dining areas clean
Eliminate water sources such as bird baths, over-watered lawns, or kiddy pools.

For a few accessible pigeon droppings on an open balcony, the basic approach is to gently dampen the material, collect it without creating dust, and clean the surface with a suitable detergent. Disinfection, where appropriate, is a separate step that must follow the product label. Large accumulations, difficult access and enclosed spaces call for professional assessment.
Before starting, check both the condition of the droppings and the balcony surface. Concrete, waterproof coatings, timber and painted metal may need different cleaning products. A method that removes a stain can still damage the finish underneath.
Before Cleaning: Assess the Amount and Location
A few isolated droppings on an accessible outdoor floor are a different task from layers of material beneath a long-established roost. Do not assume that household cleaning equipment is suitable for every situation.
When to Arrange Professional Cleanup
Droppings form a thick layer or cover a large area.
The material is in an enclosed space or around ventilation equipment.
Cleaning would require leaning over a railing, climbing or working at height.
You cannot contain dust, debris or wastewater.
You are unsure about the contamination or the protective equipment required.
If birds are actively nesting, do not disturb the nest or block access to dependent young. Obtain appropriate wildlife advice before cleaning around the nest or installing exclusion equipment.
Why Dust Control Matters
Disturbing contaminated material can release airborne particles. Histoplasmosis is associated with inhaling fungal spores from the environment, including contaminated soil enriched by bird or bat droppings. The presence of a few droppings does not establish that this fungus is present.
How to Clean Small Amounts of Pigeon Poop Off a Balcony
The following guidance is for isolated, accessible deposits on an open balcony. It is not a procedure for a heavily contaminated roost or an enclosed area.
1. Check the Surface and Building Requirements
Identify the floor finish before choosing a cleaner. A balcony that looks like bare concrete may have a waterproof membrane, paint or a protective sealer.
Check the surface manufacturer’s care instructions and, in a rental or strata building, ask the property manager about cleaning restrictions and wastewater handling. Keep water and debris away from neighbouring balconies and public areas below.
2. Prepare the Area and Protective Equipment
Keep children and pets away while you work. Use gloves, closed footwear and clothing that protects exposed skin. Follow cleaning-product instructions for eye protection and other equipment.
Use a gentle application of water to dampen the material without splashing or creating runoff. Allow hardened deposits to soften before attempting removal.
Do not begin by sweeping or breaking up dry deposits. CDC guidance recommends wetting material to reduce dust before collection.
4. Collect the Softened Material
Lift the dampened deposits with disposable towels or a suitable plastic tool, taking care not to damage the finish. Keep the waste contained and follow local disposal requirements.
Do not push droppings over the balcony edge or wash solids into a drain. Do not use a household vacuum to collect the material.
5. Clean the Exposed Surface
Use a detergent approved for the surface, following its dilution instructions. Work gently with a non-abrasive tool and test an inconspicuous area first.
Remove cleaner residue as directed while controlling wastewater. Avoid pressure washing droppings on a residential balcony because it can spread contaminated spray and debris.
6. Finish and Wash Your Hands
Keep people off the area until it is dry and no longer slippery. Clean reusable tools appropriately, remove protective equipment carefully and wash your hands with soap and water.
First determine whether the concrete is bare, sealed, painted or covered by a waterproof coating. Choose a cleaning product approved for that exact surface rather than assuming every concrete cleaner is suitable for a balcony.
Dampen and collect the deposits before working on any remaining mark.
Use the specified dilution and a brush that will not damage the finish.
Test a small, hidden area before treating a visible section.
Check product and coating instructions before using acidic or abrasive cleaners.
Do not flood the balcony or direct dirty water towards adjoining properties.
If a mark remains, establish whether it is a stain or damage to the coating before using a stronger product. Repeated aggressive scrubbing may make a damaged finish worse. Ask your property manager or a surface-care professional when the finish is uncertain.
Cleaning Other Balcony Surfaces
Surface checks before choosing a balcony cleaner
Surface
What to check
Wood or composite decking
Follow the decking manufacturer’s instructions. Avoid sharp scraping tools and unapproved soaking or chemical treatments.
Painted or coated metal
Use a product suitable for the coating. Do not assume that a cleaner safe for bare metal is safe for painted railings.
Tile and grout
Confirm compatibility with both the tile and grout. Natural stone, glazed tile and sealed grout may have different requirements.
Waterproof balcony membrane
Ask the building manager for approved cleaning products and tools. Avoid anything that could puncture or strip the membrane.
Outdoor cushions and fabric
Follow the care label and avoid shaking contaminated fabric. Seek specialist advice for heavily soiled porous items.
Cleaning and Disinfecting Are Different Steps
Cleaning removes dirt and material from a surface. Disinfecting uses an appropriate product to kill specified microorganisms under the conditions stated on its label.
Where disinfection is appropriate, clean first, then use a product approved for the surface and intended use. Follow the required dilution, protective equipment, contact time and rinsing instructions. A fixed waiting time is not suitable for every disinfectant.
Do not assume that vinegar, baking soda or ordinary detergent disinfects the surface. Never mix cleaning chemicals, especially bleach with vinegar, acids or ammonia-based products.
If pigeons keep returning, cleaning alone does not address the landing or roosting site. Look for the surface directly above the recurring mess and note where birds enter or shelter.
Block Access to the Balcony
Where pigeons enter and use several parts of the balcony, properly planned bird netting can provide a physical barrier. The installation must account for secure edges, building access and birds already inside the space.
Protect Specific Perching Areas
Where the problem is a particular ledge, bird spikes may be suitable. They protect the covered surface rather than enclosing the entire balcony.
Remove Food and Unnecessary Shelter
Keep accessible food and rubbish contained, and reduce clutter that provides sheltered corners. Check the area regularly so repeat bird activity is noticed before another substantial buildup develops.
How do I clean dried pigeon poop off a concrete balcony?
For a small, accessible deposit, dampen it gently before collection, then clean with a product approved for the concrete or its coating. Avoid dry scraping and sweeping. Thick accumulations or uncertain surface finishes need professional advice.
Can I sweep pigeon droppings off my balcony?
Do not sweep dry pigeon droppings. This can create airborne dust. Dampen small deposits before collecting them, and arrange specialist advice for extensive accumulations.
Does vinegar disinfect pigeon poop?
Do not rely on household vinegar to disinfect an area contaminated by pigeon droppings. Where disinfection is appropriate, clean first and follow the label of a suitable disinfectant.
Can I pressure wash pigeon poop off a balcony?
Avoid pressure washing droppings on a residential balcony. It can spread contaminated spray and debris to nearby areas. Use a controlled cleaning approach for small deposits or arrange specialist cleanup.
When should I hire a professional for pigeon-dropping removal?
Arrange professional assessment for large accumulations, enclosed spaces, unsafe access or situations where dust and wastewater cannot be controlled. People with weakened immune systems should avoid doing this work themselves.
How do I prevent pigeon droppings from returning?
Identify where pigeons land or enter, remove accessible food and consider suitable netting or anti-perching systems. Cleaning removes the existing mess; prevention addresses the birds’ access to the area.
Get Advice on Preventing Repeat Balcony Problems
Once the cleanup has been addressed, Pigeon Patrol can help you explore bird-control products and prevention options for your balcony.
How does a lone pigeon get back home? Does it choose the fastest, the easiest or the safest route?
As flying takes a lot of energy, birds generally adapt their flight speed and trajectory to reduce how much they use.
Now researchers at Swansea University have been using high-tech tags to study homing pigeons and to discover if these crucial decisions could be linked to helping them avoid attack by predators.
When the team monitored pigeons as they flew back to their loft at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behaviour in Germany, they observed that the birds did sometimes adopt energy-efficient flight styles such as starting their climbs ahead of hills to reduce their climb angle. But they also saw pigeons using up energy by flying at high speeds.
Baptiste Garde, of the University’s Swansea Lab for Animal Movement (SLAM) led the new research which has just been published by the journal Royal SocietyOpen Science
He said: “This might suggest that pigeons are just trying to get home as fast a possible, but by comparing the variation in their flight speed and altitude to those of an ultralight aircraft following the same path, we found that pigeon altitude and speed was, in fact, very variable.
“Flying this way is neither efficient in terms of time nor energy, but it might have an unexpected advantage. Indeed, if we look at the trajectory of a rabbit on the run, or a snipe flying away, we can see that they make unpredictable sharp turns to confuse their predators.
“That is what we call a protean behaviour. Pigeons might be using the same strategy to increase their chances of avoiding an attack.
“Protean flight has only been described in a handful of birds up until now but we think that it might be a relatively common behaviour, with birds flying in a more unpredictable way when they fly solo.”

One of the best places for pigeons is at Markham Rd. and Lawrence Ave., where a perpetual buffet of birdie num num is on the menu.
It is also a bad place to be a pedestrian or a TTC rider. After they dine, the birds roost on overhead utility wires to digest their meal and then deposit wet, smelly droppings on the sidewalk and people below.
We’ve had several complaints over the past few years about the hundreds of pigeons drawn to the southwest corner of the busy intersection by food scattered across a parking lot.
The bird lovers’ hearts are in the right place, but the mess created by the huge number of pigeons attracted to the food is the bane of people who catch the bus at a TTC stop on the corner.
A reader told us he’s been twice bombed on his way to the TTC stop, adding that he’s heard it’s a sign of good luck to be pooped on by a bird but doesn’t believe it.
“They sit on the wires and s– on everything below,” said the reader, who asked not to be named. “One time I could see it falling in front of me, like it was raining bird s–.”
We’ve gone there several times and seen hundreds of pigeons and a few seagulls pecking at seed in the parking lot, while others that had finished dining roosted wing-to-wing on wires on the east side of Lawrence, waiting to drop a surprise on a hapless victim.
The sidewalk below the wires had a residue of guano on it, but we thought it would have been much worse. Plentiful rainfall over the past few weeks has likely washed away some of it.
Dumped next to a concrete barrier on the north side of the parking lot was a huge pile of stale white bread cut into pieces — enough to fill a couple big garbage bags — along with several pounds of white rice.
The situation raises a couple questions, like who’s doing it and what can be done, if anything, to stop them.
STATUS: We asked the city if any rules prohibit the feeding of birds. City spokesperson Angelica Santos sent us an email that said “feeding wildlife can increase the population of wild animals in a community and cause the animal to lose its natural fear of people.” Yeah, but we’re talking about pigeons, not raccoons or bears. Santos went on to cite bylaws that say “a person feeding wildlife in a public area can be fined by the city, if the person is observed by an officer throwing waste.” In other words, unless a bylaw enforcement officer stakes out the parking lot and catches someone feeding them, there are no repercussions. We also found a page on the city’s website that says “there are no specific bylaws that restrict the feeding of wildlife outside of a city park.” Since the feeding is done in a private parking lot, it looks the feeders are home free.

Pigeons predominantly feed on grains and cereals, thus they can consume quickly any grainy foods lift in the open. Aside from grains and cereals, Pigeons are known to feed on small insects as well as earthworms . Pigeons can feed on small Kentucky rats , lizards and many other reptiles, they can also carry these small animals in their claws or feet through hundreds of miles during flights until they reach their destination and without losing grip of such animals.
The question of feeding pigeon or not will largely depends on whether the bird is domesticated or not. While domesticated Louisville pigeons can be fed at a restricted area of a property, free-roaming pigeons must never be fed. Domesticated pigeons must only be fed if they are very few (between 1 and 5), however, feeding domesticated Kentucky pigeons may attract the attention of other pigeons , thus the population of pigeons around your property may soar within a short period of time.
Feeding of Louisville pigeons are widely discourage because of the possibility of such birds causing damages to different compartments of a property during flight. When you feed pigeons, they will end up defecating on your roof, similarly, they will end up roosting and building nests close to you property because they have a ready source of food. Feeding Kentucky pigeons around your property also means that they will eventually gain access to other places such as the patio, deck, and garage.
When you feed pigeons close to your Louisville property, they will get used to migrating there in search of food, and when you are not around, they may decide to fly through your door or window. Feeding pigeons within your Kentucky property will increase the chances of the birds gaining access to the attic or the chimney at the top , where they can easily roost and establish their nests. Even when your pigeons are domesticated, you must only feed them in their cages and not outside of their abode, this will reduce their chances of accessing your roof, since they are used to eating in their bowls or troughs , inside their cages.
Feeding Kentucky pigeons is discouraged in every way because of the enormous damages they tend to cause in and outside of properties. The birds are aggressive in nature, and their droppings can get too much to the extent of making roofs to cave in. Pigeon damages reduce the value of homes and can cause thousands of dollars in damages.
