    Pest Info

    (Columba Livia Var)

    The feral pigeon is a widespread bird across the UK with flocks ranging from 50 to in excess of 400 birds. They can cause severe damage and risk to buildings and structures with their nesting and fouling which can also become a risk to public health and safety.

    These birds are still protected under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 though can be controlled under the terms of the General Licences issued by DEFRA.

    They are known to carry a broad range of pathogens and diseases, which can be transferred to humans through air-borne, food-borne and physical contact as well as a host of insects and mites.
