Hawks Versa Pigeons

Pigeons are the natural prey of hawks. They know very well that the appearance of a hawk means their death. This is an interesting story I’ve read recently.
In Warsaw, Capital of Poland authorities tried to keep its metro free of pigeon droppings by tapping the killer instinct of birds of prey to deal with this universal urban scourge. Pigeon droppings mar walls, cover the metro's granite floors and plop onto passengers heads. Just the presence of hawks inside or at the entrance of a station happened to be enough to act as a deterrent to solve their pigeon problem.
They hired the handler of two hawks to do the trick. Pigeons are the natural prey of hawks. They know very well that the appearance of a hawk means their death. Before the hawks appearance metro station was plagued by hundreds of pigeons. Within days after that, the number dwindled to a very few. Hawks perched on handler’s arm clad in a thick leather glove.
The chirps of baby pigeons draw hawk's attention. As soon as an adult pigeon appears, hawks take a flight in pursuit if allowed by their trainer. He does for a brief chase then calls them back.
They are not allowed to kill pigeons! It’s against the law. Beside the low, it would be too dangerous for hawks because urban pigeons carry many diseases. They are worse than rats. With hawk worth from $20 and up, the risk is too high. The cost of their services is also high but not as much. It won't take long to recoup investment. The costs of cleaning the stations, the maintenance products and above all renovation work on the walls and ceilings drops dramatically. Authorities battled against the pigeons for years, without any success. Now they can breath easy.

Pigeons carry and spread disease, and their feces can corrode building materials. The build-up of droppings or nesting materials is not only unsightly, but can also host parasites like bird mites. If birds are allowed to inhabit an area long enough, they will persistently defend it as their territory.

Pigeon’s droppings and nesting materials can carry over 60 different fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases that can be passed to humans and animals. Bird’s nests can also host parasites and mites.  Birds are also carriers of the West Nile virus and Bird Flu. Contraction of these diseases can happen through inhalation of airborne spores (through dried bird feces), or through direct contact.

It should be noted that those who have compromised immune systems, or live with auto immune disorders are at the greatest risk of contracting disease from bird droppings. Constant exposure to bird feces or nests also puts one at greater risk. Washing hands after coming in contact with bird feces can greatly reduce the risks of contracting disease.

Bird droppings are highly acidic and can corrode paint, and some building materials including steel, wood, concrete, tile, and shingles. Bird Droppings can also corrode and discolor fabrics like canvas. Removing these materials can be timely and expensive. The longer bird droppings are left on a surface, the greater damage they can cause, and the more difficult it will be to remove.

It’s important to take a proactive approach when dealing with pigeons on your home or business.  In the long run, it can save time and money. Electronic ultrasonic devices are harmless, low cost and very easy to install to use.
