Feral Pigeons are descended from Rock Doves (columba livia) they are generally grey in colour with markings of black, tan and white patterns. Flocks of several hundred will fly and roost together, they prefer large, high buildings and structures. Occasionally smaller flocks will choose houses on which to roost and nest. Pigeons feed on discarded food waste, grain and in some areas they are fed by the public. Proofing work is carried out on commercial structures to control pigeons and other pest birds. Bird proofing methods including the installation of anti pigeon netting, use of sprung pin and wires and pigeon points are effective in preventing pigeons roosting and nesting on buildings. Pigeon fouling or pigeon droppings are not only unsightly, but also have the potential to carry disease.
