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.
