It is about time that Pigeon Patrol found a great story like this.
Hempstead Town Tuesday unanimously adopted a law that restricts feeding pigeons, ducks and geese.
The town board, in a 7-0 vote, approved the law in response to complaints from residents that feeding, especially in waterfront areas, was inundating properties with birds and their droppings.
A violation of the new law is defined as feeding that attracts at least 10 birds on at least three days within a 15-day period.
Fines can be as much as $1,000 for the first violation, $2,500 for the second and $5,000 for the third, town spokesman Mike Deery said. The town crafted the law because of reports that “hundreds of birds and geese were being fed large quantities of food on a regular basis, creating a mess and even damaging the exteriors of homes in local communities,” Hempstead officials said in a statement.
The three residents who spoke at Tuesday’s public hearing on the law supported the restrictions. Jeremy Sessler of Seaford said he pushed for the law because his Ocean Avenue home sometimes has 25 to 50 birds — mostly Canada geese — on the front lawn because neighbors overfeed and attract birds. “This [the law] is good for both the residents and birds,” Sessler said after the hearing. “We now look to the town to enforce this code to protect residents.”

Pigeon Patrol came across this sad story on how pigeon deterrents were not used but fire was used to kill Fifty pigeons on an East 
Cleveland allotment in the early hours of this morning. Fire crews were called to the allotments in Liverton Mines at about 12.30am. They used two hose reels to extinguish the blaze, which they said killed approximately 50 pigeons and damaged the pigeon loft.
A police spokeswoman said: “Enquirers are ongoing to determine the cause of the fire.” Using simple bird or pigeon deterrents, like bird spikes, bird netting, Ultrasonic repellers to get rid of the birds from roosting may have helped save these pigeons lives.

ANIMAL charities have reacted furiously over plans to slaughter Mottingham station’s pigeon population which have been persistently pooing on commuters.
It comes after a station platform vendor says the birds are ruining her trade as customers dodge the birds’ bombs which have landed in cups of coffee and pose a health and safety risk.
Southeastern, which is responsible for cleaning the platforms, are planning a cull to get rid of the pigeons before fitting meshing to prevent any more roosting.
But animal charities say the move is “cruel” “unnecessary” and likely to worsen the problem which could be avoided by using non-lethal deterrents such as anti-perching spikes.
Speaking of the ongoing problem, owner of Shell’s Kiosk Michelle Hill, said: “I am losing customers.
“Three people got pooed on this morning. “It is getting beyond a joke now. “It is like they are having a party up on the roof.”
Officer Diane Roberts added: “The RSPCA is opposed to the killing of wildlife where it is possible to humanely deter them instead.
A Southeastern spokeswoman said: “Pigeons nesting at the station are making a huge mess and are an issue for customers, tenants and staff. Our priority is to provide a clean environment for our passengers and the businesses at the station.”
Pigeon Patrol would try the following bird deterrents – Anti-roosting spikes or bird spikes or pigeon spikes – Bird netting – 
UltraSonic and Sonic devices and 4-S gel. Good luck on your bird control and your pigeon problems.

Pigeon Patrol Products and Services have had to clean up many nasty jobs, but this job may take the cake.
A hatch on a Swedish church tower inadvertently left open for some three decades resulted in 2 tons of pigeon droppings amassing in the tower.
The church’s property manager says the layer of droppings was 30 centimetres (12 inches) deep when it was discovered during a May inspection of the Heliga Trefaldighets Kyrka in Gavle, 170 kilometres (105 miles) north of Stockholm.
Lennart Helzenius said on Thursday that church staff had been shocked by the sheer number of bags of excrement cleaners were removing from the tower. He says the droppings filled 80 bags in the first round of cleaning, and then just as many in the second round.
Helzenius says the hatch had probably been left open since the 1980s.
I guess that this church could have used some of Pigeon Patrol’s bird deterrents like their bird or pigeon spikes, bird netting, 4-S Gel, or the UltraSonic Tube or Screaming Owl. Pigeon Patrol has warehouse in Vancouver Canada and Seattle Washington. Pigeon Patrol is the logical choice for bird or pigeon control in North America.
