    Interesting Facts About Pigeons

    • Pigeons are highly adaptable. They thrive in urban environments and are drawn to buildings with flat roofs, ledges and access to food.
    • Pigeon droppings are corrosive. They contain high levels of uric acid which can erode metal, stone and concrete leading to costly damage. 
    • Pigeons carry diseases. They are known to carry diseases such as salmonella, pisttacosis and E. coli which can pose serious health risks.
    • Pigeons reproduce rapidly. A pair of pigeons can produce up to 12 offspring every year.
    • Health regulations. Businesses in healthcare, hospitality food industries and many more can face penalties or even closure if pigeon activity leads to hygiene or safety breaches.
    • GPS skills. Pigeons have an incredible homing instinct and were used to carry messages during the war, some even received medals for this!

    The Biology of Pigeons

    Pigeons are close relatives to the wild rock dove, who are known for nesting on sea cliffs. However, over time pigeons have evolved to live in an urban environment using ledges and rooftops as substitutes for their native habitat. They have strong wings and incredible navigation skills which means they can travel long distances and still return to the same roosting spot. This is a trait which made them ideal to be used as messenger birds.

    Pigeons have perfect eyesight, and a great memory which helps them to locate consistent nesting areas and food sources. Pigeons can nest all year round, particularly in sheltered buildings.

    Once pigeons have found a safe location, they use their droppings to alert other pigeons to use the same space as they are very social birds who like to live and feed in groups. Pigeons communicate through vocalisations and body language and are capable of learning things from each other such as where to find food.

    Advice on Controlling and Preventing Pigeons

    • Keep outdoor areas clean by removing food waste, crumbs and standing water that can attract pigeons. 
    • Monitor early signs of activity such as damage to buildings.
    • Maintain cleaning schedules to remove any droppings and nesting materials which can attract more pigeons. 
    • Seal entry points to prevent pigeons from nesting in roof spaces, lofts or gaps in buildings.
    • Use visual or audio deterrents like reflective tape, bird balloons or ultrasonic devices to discourage pigeons from nesting in your premises.
    • Install physical deterrents such as spikes, netting or wiring so that pigeons can’t nest on roofs and ledges.
    • Partner with a professional pest control company for tailored, long term pigeon management solutions.
