We Are The Pest Bird Experts

Removing a pigeon nest requires care to ensure it’s done humanely and effectively. First, check local regulations, as some areas may have laws protecting bird nests during breeding seasons. If safe to do so, remove the nest during non-breeding periods, wearing gloves to protect against potential pathogens. It’s crucial to clean the area thoroughly to remove droppings and debris, which can attract pigeons back. To prevent re-nesting, install deterrents like bird spikes, netting, or visual deterrents around the nesting site.

It is often said that a wild feral pigeon’s life span is between 3 to 6 years, but they have been known to live much longer in urban areas where food is readily available, and there are few natural predators. Domesticated pigeons have been known to live for 10 to 15 years or more with adequate care and favorable conditions. Longevity of the birds underlines the fact that addressing an infestation should be dealt with as soon as possible, or the population will grow rather quickly.

Yes, pigeons are capable of posing health threats to humans. The birds have shown to carry many diseases, including histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and psittacosis, the potential threats to human health from their droppings. Droppings can host fungi and bacteria that could cause respiratory problems if they become airborne. Furthermore, there may be other parasites on the birds, such as mites and ticks, which can contribute to further health complications.
