Pigeon Bird Control
Pigeons are instinctively afraid of the Peregrine Hawk Kite.
The Hawk Kite is very effective for Pigeon Control. Pigeons are plump, gentle, small-billed birds with a skin saddle between the bill and forehead. All Pigeons strut about with a characteristic bobbing of the head. Because of their long wings and powerful flight muscles, they are strong, swift fliers. Pigeons are monogamous and the survivor accepts a new mate only slowly. Feral pigeons, also called city Pigeons, or street Pigeons, are derived from domestic Pigeons that have returned to the wild.
Pigeons can be found deep within cities and all the way out to some suburban areas as well. And these birds are considered to be prolific breeders, so, where you see a few, there are sure to be many more.
Pigeons can be a real nuisance. Trying to move Pigeons along can be stressful for homeowners and apartment dwellers. Pigeons are also fairly dirty birds. They carry a host of diseases and parasites and leave kilos of droppings each year.
Pigeons are a determined bird, doggedly living near humans because of the ample food supply. These birds are indiscriminate eliminators of waste, leaving liquid splatters of dropping anywhere they travel. Their lack of concern for cleanliness extends into their everyday activities, and water contamination has been traced back to pigeon carcasses and feces in water towers near roosting sites. The waste from these birds, which are most commonly seen in urban areas, is very corrosive. Concrete, limestone and metal all suffer from the ill-effects of pigeon droppings. In cities, constant cleanup alone costs thousands of dollars.
Pigeons are most often seen in cities. This habitat preference is largely due to the surplus of food available and the high roosting opportunities. Pigeons are fond of the water towers on tall buildings, often building messy nests on the rim. For this reason, most cities require water towers be completely sealed to prevent the birds or their waste from contaminating the water supply. A pigeon will nest almost anywhere and will often do so with many others of its kind. A roost can be made atop any vertical surface. Pigeons are known in invade gutters, ducts, air conditioners, attics, warehouses, and drains. They are not overly concerned with sanitary conditions and will utilize any vertical object.
Pigeons are also very food-driven. This problem has been made serious by the continued, deliberate feeding of the birds in urban areas. The birds have little fear of humans and will often converge around people in parks and near restaurants. Pigeon feeding is a common hobby of many city-goers, yet another reason for the lack of caution around humans.
Egg laying can take place as often as every other month. Courtship between the male and the female is brief, and the resulting egg clutch usually only contains two eggs. An abundance of pigeons will result in quick overpopulation, regardless of how many eggs are laid per pair
