Pigeons
Rock pigeons are one of the three introduced birds treated as outside the migratory-bird law.
Field notes · Central Florida
Birds on the roof
Rock pigeons, European starlings, and house sparrows are the three we can treat as unprotected. Other birds on the same building usually are not.
- Identify first
- Three birds
- No poison flock
- Open 24 hoursCall or text (321) 205-4972.
- Free inspectionWe look before anyone names a number.
- Name the birdThe same roof can hold a protected one.
- The ledge is the workScare devices wear off.
Three birds, and then we stop
Starlings
European starlings are the second. We still identify them before anyone talks about taking a bird.
House sparrows
House sparrows are the third. Doves, grackles, swallows, and woodpeckers on that roof are protected.
What the building work is
- The netSized to the smallest bird using that spot. A pigeon mesh does not stop a house sparrow.
- The spikesA tool for a pigeon ledge. Not the fix for every perch. What lasts is the ledge, a screen, or a net.
- The nestA native nest stays. We do not take an eagle nest, an osprey nest, or a swallow nest that still has young. We do not say this company holds a federal permit.
- No promiseWe do not poison a flock. We do not promise a bird-free property. An open ledge and a food source draw the next bird. A disease claim is not the reason for lethal control.
