How to get rid of pigeons?
How to get rid of pigeons? The Council has no policy to control or cull birds within the area.
It is generally acknowledged that reducing the population by culling can only have a short-term effect, and populations soon recover.
Food is the most important factor determining the size of any pigeon population, and the best known, long-term solution to pigeon problems is to restrict its availability.
Numbers can also be reduced by restricting roosting and nesting spaces. Replacing broken roof tiles and closing open/broken windows will stop pigeons gaining access to buildings. Specialist contractors use fine mist nets and small spikes placed on windows to discourage pigeons from roosting on buildings.
Specialist contractors can be employed to carry out appropriate action. Darlington Borough Council does not provide this service or any financial assistance to carry out the work.
What the law says about pigeons
Most birds and their nests are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
The Act allows for the control of certain birds, including feral pigeons, by authorised persons using specified methods to prevent serious damage to agriculture, to preserve public health / air safety, or to conserve other wild birds.
The use of spring traps, poisons, certain types of nets, gassing and sticky substances that may entangle a bird are illegal. Approved methods include trapping or drugging followed by humane destruction and shooting.
It is an offence under the Criminal Damage Act 1971 to intentionally kill a racing pigeon.
