Dave Roth met with him, toured the facilities from several vantage points, and generated this report. Feral pigeons inhabit manmade structures such as ledges, windowsills, roof overhangs, sheltered beams, attics, etc., and vegetation such as palm trees, which approximate their natural habitat. Pigeons primarily eat seeds and grain but will also eat olives, berries, etc. They can travel many miles daily in search of food and may sample many feeding sites. Pigeons normally lay 2 eggs during each breeding cycle with typically 4 cycles per year.
Breeding is most active in spring and summer but can occur year round.
Pigeons are gregarious birds and congregate in flocks which readily accept newcomers of their species. The recommended method of pigeon control is exclusion. Typically, it is the most effective, long-term, safe and economical approach. Each nest disabled equals an overall population reduction of two to six birds per year. The documents I faxed to you previously refer to that in more detail.
