Some employees at GM’s Delta plant sent us pictures of dead pigeons and their feathers scattered around the facility.They want to know what is killing the birds and what could be left behind.

6 News Nick Perreault talked with General Motors about the issue.

General Motors spokesperson Erin Davis confirmed a facilities manager did find a dead pigeon on the grounds and adds Rose Pest Solution has been broughPigeon Patrolt in to address the problem.

Again a facilities manager found one pigeon not hundreds, but employees disagree.

6 News was told by a former Rose Pest employee there have been hundreds of pigeons in the past few years that collect around ceiling fans near the paint part of the plant.

The company would leave out material for the pigeons in hopes of preventing them from returning.

Though that former employee said that material is not intended to the kill the birds, but says General Motors has been a client for years addressing this problem.

Aside from the obvious health concerns to employees, being around feces and potential dead birds, Erin Davis says this could cause a delay in work.

If mechanical equipment is cover in bird feces, they’d have to wash down all their equipment and wait some time before they can resume working.

Rose Pest Solutions and General Motors along with environmental engineers are handling the issue and hope this doesn’t spread any more.
