City Council May Ban Feeding of Pigeons

Submitted by Jess, Nov 13, 2007 15:56

I'm glad to see that at least the city is trying to deal with the pigeon problem in a humane way. Afterall, we brought them here and took away their landscape and natural predators, so we have a responsibility to act humanely in their removal.

The birth control sounds like a good idea, but it will take at least a few years before the population starts to diminish. The city should try employing some other methods to deter the birds from high-traffic areas through a sonic repeller, a visual scare device, a roosting inhibitor or a taste aversion. A combination of these would ensure the birds stay away from an area.

We provide only non-lethal, environmentally friendly solutions to bird and pest problems and have been the leader in bird control for over 4o years.

Thanks for the great article.
