PIGEONS
Pigeons are beautiful to observe but can cause significant problems in rural areas. They damage small grain crops, contaminate food, and spread diseases to domestic animals. Their droppings can deteriorate buildings, statues, and vehicles, while nests may clog drains and create hazards. Pigeons also carry ectoparasites like fleas, ticks, and mites, which can transmit diseases and cause skin infections.

Reproductive cycle of pigeons
Feral pigeons build messy nests where the female lays one or two eggs. Both parents incubate the eggs for 17-19 days. The young are fed pre-digested food until weaned at 35-37 days old. Breeding occurs year-round, with several broods raised annually, and new eggs are laid before the first young are weaned.
​
Habitat
Feral pigeons prefer nesting on high ledges, especially in ornamental alcoves of buildings. Their nests, often reused, are made of twigs, straw, droppings, and feathers. They also nest in barn rafters, bridges, and other man-made shelters.
​
Diet
Pigeons consume approximately 1.1 lbs of food per week. Their diet primarily includes seeds and grains, along with fruit, green feed, insects, and grit to aid digestion.
