How To Identify The Domestic Pigeon

It is fairly easy to identify a pigeon. These birds are medium-sized and have small heads, large chests, little feet, and typically colorful plumage. You might see these doves walking around on the ground using their tiny feet. You might also see them flying around.

One thing you will note is how brave these birds are. Pigeons are intelligent and know that they are not in danger while walking around on city streets. They are also smart enough to get food and find nesting places wherever they go. We are here to provide you with some options to outsmart and control pigeons. We will talk more about pigeon control in just a bit. 

The Problems Roosting Pigeons Can Create Around Your Property

The most obvious problem with pigeons is that these pests are annoying. They actively hop around local properties, steal food, and cause trouble with their bravery. To make things worse, pigeons are also dangerous and destructive. Their droppings are acidic and carry a range of harmful bacteria and other disease vectors.

If you don’t want the paint eroding off your railings or your family members getting sick after touching a table outdoors, you do not want these pests around. Let us take some time now to talk about methods for controlling pigeons so that you can avoid the problems that come with these pests.
