Feral Pigeons (Columba livia)

We only deal with pigeons using commercial premises

Pigeons are found in nearly all environments where people are found. Most people are familiar with seeing pigeons around farm yards, parks, city buildings, bridges and other structures. This is because they are highly dependent on people to provide them with food and roosting sites. Pigeons are primarily seed eaters, however, they will also feed on nearly anything provided for them by people.

Typically, a pigeon will have a grey body (although body colour may range from white to tan to black) with a white rump, a wide black band on the tail and red feet. The average weight is approximately 369 g (13 oz.), and they will reach a length of 28 cm (11 in.). They are found throughout the UK and are the most common of bird pests.

Pigeons will inhabit any areas where they are able to land, which offers shelter, which they are able to move about in and in areas where there is food and water. Such areas include lofts, steeples, attics, ornate architectural features of buildings as well as window ledges etc.

The presence of feral pigeons present a number of problems:-

The most effective way to prevent the problems associated with birds roosting on buildings is to proof the buildings in some way to prevent the birds from landing there. We are able to supply and install all types of bird proofing i.e. netting or point systems.
