The pigeon: an invasive bird in the city
Three species of pigeons are found particularly in Quebec cities: the rock pigeon, the wood pigeon and the pigeon. The rock pigeon is the most common species and can be recognized by its pale gray plumage dotted with green and purple. This bird is also characterized by its small round head and dark blue-gray stocky neck. It can measure between 30 and 36 centimeters.
Pigeons are known to take up residence in the city in the cracks of ledges, on windowsills, in spaces under roofs, bridges or viaducts as well as in rocky places. Pigeon populations are reaching record levels in some North American cities such as New York, where there are more than a million. They also have the reputation of parasite for some peoples such as the Anglo-Saxons who nickname them the “winged rats”.
The behavior of the pigeon
Since the pigeon has virtually no natural predators in the city and food resources are abundant, this makes it very easy to proliferate. It can feed on seeds, crumbs, bread, fruits, vegetables and even cold cuts! Large urban centres therefore offer a well-stocked pantry as well as a multitude of comfortable places to nestle.
In general, the rock pigeon lives from 3 to 6 years in freedom while in captivity, its life expectancy can climb up to 30 years! Most males emit a particular cooing during the breeding season, which begins in spring and lasts approximately until October.
Since the presence of the pigeon can become very harmful, it is recommended to move them away from buildings in order to avoid damage. Our pigeon exterminators will be able to implement effective and safe solutions to repel these invading birds.
Damage caused by the pigeon
The majority of deterioration caused by pigeons comes from their droppings, which are very corrosive. These soil windowsills, balconies, courtyards and roofs. In addition, the acidity of excreta degrades building facades, tar-based roofs, awnings, fences and car paint.
A buildup of feces or a nest can block gutters, air ducts, chimneys or drain pipes. Not to mention that pigeons can become a noise nuisance and foul odors from droppings are very unpleasant.
In order to stop all these inconveniences, do not hesitate to contact our pigeon exterminators who will hunt these birds from your property or business.
Diseases transmitted by pigeons
Pigeons carry some diseases that can be transmitted to humans through their droppings. Most of these diseases develop in the case of inhalation of contaminated feces spores. For example, histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis are infectious diseases caused by a fungus that grows in droppings. The respiration of contaminated spores thus carries health risks for humans. Symptoms such as fatigue, fever, chest pain, may be felt.
The pigeon is also a major carrier of parasites and a vector of germs known since it can transmit, among others, salmonellosis, ornithosis, toxoplasmosis, etc.
Don’t take any risks and trust the Extermination Pro-Nature team to get rid of pigeons!
