Pigeon Biology
Pigeons, aka Rock Doves, (Columba livia) are a tremendous scourge
to many urban areas in the U.S. These birds, which were introduced to the U.S.,
cause damage to buildings through their droppings and urine. While there
is no magic cure for controlling pigeons, the steps are remarkably straightforward.
Sometimes the appropriate techniques are expensive, sometime they are not. Yet
Wildlife Damage Control is committed to tell you what works and what doesn't.

The photo at your right is one of a feral pigeon also known as a common pigeon.
Note that the nest is extremely crude consisting of only
a few sticks. Sometimes the nest will be made out of pigeon droppings. Always
wear appropriate safety equipment before cleaning any pigeon droppings. For
