Pigeons are highly visible birds, and spotting them on your roof or balconies is usually the first sign. They often congregate in groups and can be identified by their constant cooing, distinctive pigeon behaviour, and messy droppings. Loose feathers, nesting materials such as twigs or rubbish, and repeated roosting in the same area are also strong indicators. Their presence can create a public health risk, as pigeon droppings carry bacteria and parasites harmful to people. You may also notice damaged surfaces or blocked gutters where nesting on buildings has occurred. If you see pigeons in the garden or roosting on rooftops regularly, it’s time to act. Professional pigeon removal and pigeon deterrents such as anti-roosting spikes or bird gels are reliable methods to rid your property of this persistent problem.
