For a moment I thought you might be enquiring on behalf of the pigeon at the War Memorial!  Ha ha.

Can anyone advise on feral pigeon removal and control? For example, what are criteria for selecting a company to do the task (effectively and humanely, etc), and are any particular companies recommended (or to be avoided)?

We have pigeons nesting in a sheltered gutter over a balcony (thus droppings etc on balcony floor and railing). It is my son’s currently unoccupied house.

 

Thanks
