What do pigeons look like?

Pigeons are bluish gray in color with two black bars on each wing; color patterns can vary between domestic and wild species.

Are pigeons dangerous?

While you may not believe it yes, pigeons are dangerous. They carry and can spread a variety of diseases including cryptococcosis, salmonella, and toxoplasmosis. A fungus that grows in their feces may also cause histomplasmosis. Pigeon droppings may lead to slip and fall injuries. They also deteriorate buildings and contaminate food for both people and livestock. Additionally the US Air Force has designated pigeons a medium priority hazard to jet aircraft.

Why do I have a pigeon problem?

Pigeons are probably the number one pest bird in the country. Not only are they reliant on us for much of their food needs, they seek shelter under our roof eaves and on the ledges of our buildings. Because they adapt well, you can find pigeons in both rural and urban environments.

Structures that provide shelter for nesting and roosting as well as easy access to food sources attract pigeons. Commercial buildings are especially susceptible to pigeon problems.
