Noise and Disturbance
Pigeons and seagulls are notoriously noisy, with their constant cooing or squawking often becoming a source of irritation.
During the breeding season, they may also exhibit territorial behavior, which can lead to aggression towards humans, pets, or other birds.
Did you know that cat prevention nets for balconies function just like pigeon netting?
If you’re a cat owner living in a higher-floor apartment, keeping your feline safe from jumping or falling to lower balconies is crucial.
Cat netting is an effective solution.
Available in black or transparent designs with fine or wide mesh, these nets not only keep birds out but also ensure your cat stays safely inside.
How to Keep Pigeons Away Without Affecting Other Birds
Many people enjoy the presence of smaller birds like parakeets, robins, house sparrows, and jays, but want to keep pigeons or other "bully birds" at bay. While this can be challenging, here are some strategies you can try:
Use Wider-Mazed Netting: Choose netting with larger holes that allow smaller birds to pass through but prevent pigeons from nesting or perching.
Research Nesting Habits: Learn where pigeons and smaller birds like to nest so you can remove pigeon nests while preserving spots for smaller birds.
Install Pigeon-Proof Bird Feeders: Use feeders with smaller ledges or perches to accommodate smaller birds while discouraging pigeons.
Avoid Feeding Pigeons: Refrain from feeding pigeons to reduce their attraction to your area.
