During the day, pigeons and seagulls prioritize finding food. They have become adept at identifying reliable food sources, such as a person regularly feeding them or fast food chains discarding their waste at specific times. These birds will search for high-up vantage points that allow them to observe the surrounding areas and exploit human behavior. Common locations include the ridges of roofs, guttering, shop signs, chimney pots, and other elevated areas where they can easily swoop down for a free meal. If your property offers such an observation point, it is more likely to attract these birds.
To discourage pigeons and seagulls from choosing your property as a feeding spot, it is essential to protect these high-up areas with bird anti-roosting systems. By doing so, the birds may choose to abandon your property in search of easier feeding opportunities elsewhere.
As the day comes to an end and night falls, the exposed high-up perching sites become unsuitable for the birds to rest. Pigeons, in particular, seek out ledges that provide shelter for their overnight roosting. These ledges are often located lower down on buildings or neighboring properties. The ideal roosting spots are flat and partially or fully sheltered from the wind and rain, creating a comfortable environment for the birds. Some of these ledges may also serve as potential nesting sites.
Male pigeons play a role in selecting the nest site by presenting a stick to the female, who will use it as the foundation for her nest. The male seeks an area that offers protection from the elements, ensuring an optimal habitat for raising a family. Pigeons are social creatures and tend to live in flocks, with many pigeons staying together for life. This social aspect makes it more challenging to proof and protect overnight roosting areas.
If you find pigeons or seagulls roosting or nesting on your property, it is important to take action. The presence of these birds can be noisy, messy, and potentially damaging. To resolve the issue, consider installing anti-roosting systems like Defender® Bird, Pigeon, and Seagull Spike products. These humane and long-term solutions can effectively deter birds from perching and nesting on your property.
By protecting your property with anti-roosting systems, you can create an environment that is less attractive to pigeons and seagulls, encouraging them to seek alternative locations for feeding and roosting.
