Definition of a Pest Bird

Definition of a Pest Bird

Pest Birds are Birds that, in some way, are detrimental to people.
One Bird sitting on a roof, window ledge, gutter or in a loft may not be classed as a Pest. However, large numbers of Feral Pigeons, Gulls (Seagulls) or Starlings in the same areas could constitute a risk to public health, contaminate products, affect manufacturing processes or contravene the Health and Safety at Work Act etc.
Fear of Birds may also cause them to be regarded as a Pest. One person may regard Feral Pigeons, Gulls (Seagulls) or Starlings with affection, however the persons next to them maybe frightened or even terrified of them.
The most serious situation is Pest Birds that contaminate human food or affect the manufacturing / sale of food, for human consumption. For example by Bird Fouling, blocked gutters, nesting materials on buildings, associated insect activity.
The Protection of Birds Act 1954 and 1967, and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1982 also define Pest Birds as, Feral Pigeons (Columba livia), Starlings (Stunus vulgaris), House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) and some Gulls (Laridae).

Benefits of Pest Bird Control

Benefits Obtained From Pest Bird Control

Prevention of Defacement by Bird Fouling - Droppings are unsightly and cause accelerated deterioration of buildings and statues. Limestone is particularly susceptible, not just by the droppings, but the acid secretion produced by the fungi that live in them.
Reduction of Maintenance and Cleaning Costs - Cleaning and restoring buildings can be expensive. Nests and droppings block gutters and down pipes. The results can lead to timber / structural damage, ruined decor, damage to products and processes that can be enormous.
Prevention of Fouling on Pavements / Entrances - Fouling on pavements, entrances and fire escapes makes them hazardous, fouling accumulates on ledges, sills and signage, etc, and may fall on pedestrians or cause them to fall.
Eliminate Noise and Smell - The noise high numbers of pest birds make can annoy people in the workplace, especially hotels, hospitals and office complexes. Feral Pigeon nesting materials and fouling produce an odour which is to say the least offensive.
Prevent Damage to Industry / Manufactured Food - Droppings spoil finished products in loading bays and storage areas. They stain and leave goods damaged, affecting paintwork, precision finished goods, packaging and surfaces made of metal, stone, wood paper and cardboard.
Reduce the Risk of Disease - Pest birds are closely associated with the transmission of disease to man. Sparrows and Feral Pigeons can carry bacteria causing Salmonellosis. Feral Pigeons carry Ornithosis which is similar to viral pneumonia.
Reduce the Risk of Insect Infestation - Birds, bird droppings and their nesting materials harbour insects and mites. Some of these insects can cause damage to property, stored foods and fabric. The removal of nesting materials from buildings reduce resulting insect infestations.
