Feral Pigeons

 

Feral Pigeons are generally gray with slightly iridescent feathers on the neck that shine pink and green in the sunlight. Coloration is variable with many mixtures. Pigeons average 3-5 years in the wild. Pigeons are found in many habitats including desert, forest and grassland areas. Pigeons are also commonly found in urban and suburban settings.There are many humane options for deterring pigeons from landing or nesting. It is important to do a good clean-up of any bird droppings or nesting materials before any product is installed.

Habitat:

  • Pigeons are found in many habitats including desert, forest and grassland areas. Pigeons are also commonly found in urban and suburban settings.

Habitat modification:

  • Install bird deterrents such as Bird Spikes or Bird Netting to block pigeons from getting back to the area they have chosen to roost, perch or nest. If you make affected areas inaccessible, the birds will be forced to move on to a new location.
  • Physical bird deterrents like Bird Spikes are effective on ledges, beams, signs, window sills, roof lines, eaves, and other areas pigeons have decided to land.
  • Electric track systems like such as the Bird Jolt Flat Track and Shock Track are ideal for treating ledges and rooflines or anywhere aesthetics are a concern.

The American Crow is a black bird averaging around 18 inches long. Crows have black feathers, beaks, legs and feet. Crows and ravens look very much alike and are often misidentified for each other. Crows differ from ravens in appearance by their shorter, thinner beaks, and are about six inches shorter than a raven.

Habitat:

  • American Crows live in a variety of different settings. They can be found in parks, woodland areas, orchards, farms, as well as urban and suburban settings.

Habitat modification:

  • Crows live in tight knit communities that work together to defend their territories. They may choose a high point on your home or building as a lookout point.
  • Keep crows off roof lines and ledges by installing Bird Spikes, Bird Jolt Flat Track or other physical bird deterrents to prevent them from landing.
  • Keep crows off street lights, A.C. units, signs and other areas with the Repeller 360°, Bird Spider or the Solar Bird Repeller
