It is about time Pigeon Patrol says that, some bread thrower has been fined for feeding the birds!
A PENSIONER says she was ‘humiliated’ after being issued with a fine for feeding pigeons.
The 82-year-old, from Leigh, was feeding the pigeons with bird food she had brought from the market on Bradshawgate last Monday, January 27, when she was approached by a Wigan Council environment enforcement officer.
He informed her she was in breach of section 87 of the Environmental Protection Act and issued her a fixed penalty notice for littering. Council has a zero tolerance policy towards littering and bird feeding.
Using an Ultrasonic Repeller would have shooed those pigeons away and the feeding would never had happened.

As many as 1000 pigeons trapped or killed by a pest control firm in Amsterdam end up on dinner plates as pate. There have been massive amounts of pigeons around the area that they’ve been called sky vermin. This has led to a pest exterminating company to the idea of selling pigeons to butchers. After being caught, pigeons are sold to butchers across the city to be made into pate.
With the use of Bird Deterrents such as Ultra-Bird Spikes or Bird Netting, the areas with great amounts of pigeons could have been controlled or the products could have been put in place as an animal friendly solution.
Pigeons spread disease easily due to the fact that they can travel great distances, harbor over forty different types of parasites, and can host sixty different types of diseases. Without proper health regulations, this dish poses a lot of health risks.
As Pigeons are not protected, the pest control company can catch and do as they please with them. I don’t know how they are treating these animals but let’s hope they are as animal friendly as Pigeon Patrol is.

Pigeons just love new things, Pigeon Patrol Staff came across this bridge of a situation.
For some reason, pigeons have marked off a very clear patch of the new Hastings bridge as their own. They apparently have no interest in spending time on any other part of the bridge. Rather, they congregate on the northbound side of the bridge on the arch about halfway up.
Minnesota Department of Transportation bridge project manager Steve Kordosky. “I don’t know why they have selected that particular spot.”
Kordosky thinks that since that part of the bridge faces south, it warms up faster than the rest of the bridge.
Well who knows why birds do what they do!! I am sure that if some of Pigeon Patrol’s Ultra-Flex bird spikes or pigeon spikes were installed, or some of the new 4-S Gel or even an Ultrasonic sound Repeller that would be enough to deter the birds from the bridge.

Pigeon Patrol thought that this was a funny story. Lasers are great but you need to be there every night to disrupt the birds. Contractors NBC Bird and Pest Solutions, which regularly fly hawks to scare the pigeons away from the Holyrood building, have now resorted to using laser pens. But today, pigeon specialists voiced fears that the pens could blind the birds and said they would never recommend them. 
The use of laser pens only came to light in documents obtained under Freedom of Information.
In monthly updates on the contractors’ work, parliament bosses were told: “Targeted pen lasers have been used to disturb and disperse pigeons roosting at night. Most visits concentrated on the dawn and dusk periods to disturb and deter roosting activity.”
In addition to the laser pens, the contractors are also using “optical gel” (4-S GEL) – a substance which is spread on surfaces and makes it appear to pigeons that the area is on fire.
A spokesman for animal welfare group PETA added: “Laser pens can damage pigeons’ eyes just like they can humans’.
Pigeon Patrol agrees and thinks that the better deterrents would be bird spikes or pigeon spike, 4-S gel, bird netting or the Ultrasonic repellers.

Wow where can you feel safe from infection if not in a hospital? Pigeon Patrol found this story and the troubles the UK is having.
Rats, cockroaches and pigeons were among the pests to be found in hospitals across the city during the last year. At Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital, pest controllers disposed of pigeons in the oncology unit, with 62 call-outs by the Trust over the last 12 months.
At Good Hope Hospital a dead pigeon was removed from an X-Ray filing room, as well as a cockroach found in a ward kitchen at Heartlands Hospital, both run by the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust.
Katherine Murphy, Chief Executive of the Patients Association, said that the information was a major safety concern.
“Each of our hospitals has a contract with Ecolab, who provide effective, pro-active pest elimination.” A spokesman from University Hospitals Birmingham Trust, which includes the QE Hospital added: “The Trust attaches the greatest importance to infection control and in doing so ensures that our patients, staff and visitors are exposed to minimum risk relating to pest infestation.”
I think that the hospitals could use Pigeon Patrol’s service and most of it’s pigeon deterrent products including the bird spikes, bird netting, 4-S Gel and the new Ultrasonic repellers to help ward off the pigeons.
