Many people think of pigeons as a city pest and, true, they are often seen in town and city centres across the county. Often referred to as ‘rats with wings’, these pesky birds can be a real nuisance to people and property. Councils spend millions of pounds cleaning up pigeon fouling; it makes towns and cities look dirty and shabby; damages and defaces architecture; and carries diseases and bacteria such as ornithosis and salmonella. Pigeon nests, often located on building ledges, can harbour dozens of insects and mites which migrate into the building.
Pigeons nearly always live in cities - they have easy access to food that is dropped on pavements and prefer to nest in large open areas rather than in densely wooded places like other birds - but they’re also common in agricultural areas such as barns and on roof tops, where there is a constant supply of small grains: their favourite food. Farmers are not the pigeon’s number one fan, as each year just one feral pigeon can eat its way through 64 pounds of food - and with over 15 million feral pigeons Britain, their eating habits can pose a serious problem.
Some people do not see pigeons as a problem and will feed them scraps of food on town streets and in park areas. Overfeeding these birds can be extremely dangerous as it attracts dozens of pigeons into one area and promotes the spread of diseases.
