It is a well-known and documented fact that pigeons tend to destroy roofs– even collapsing ceilings with their droppings. But did you know the calamity extends to your home garden?
Pigeons are major pests of all cabbage family plants, peas, raspberries, gooseberries and blackcurrants.
You may not see the pigeons actually attacking plants, as they often visit in early morning. This is some of the damage they cause:
- Torn leaves caused by the pigeons pecking and ripping off portions
- In severe attacks, most of the foliage is lost, leaving only the leaf stalks.
- Heavy pigeon grazing prevents brassicas and peas from growing and so no crop is produced
- Pigeons also eat the fruit of cherries and currants
Typical damage to Brussel sprouts caused by pigeons pecking and ripping off leaves.
