NYC Pigeon Control and NYC Pigeon Removal
Do you have pigeons on or underneath your air conditioner? Do you have pigeons on your building or your roof? Does your building or home have a problem with pigeon droppings or pigeon poop? If so, we want to help. In this article, we’ll answer the questions that many New Yorkers may have about pigeons and NYC pigeon control resources.
Why Are There So Many Pigeons in New York City?
Pigeons arrived in New York City several hundred years ago. They make homes on fire escapes, window sills, rooftops, and underneath window air conditioners. NYU professor Colin Jerolmack points out that most of the pigeons in NYC are not native to the city but were introduced by Europeans who brought them as a food source.
Unlike other birds in the city, they don’t migrate. They rely on the food sources available, which include trash, and food on the street. They are also here because the buildings replicate their indigenous environment. So your secluded apartment building might be the best place for a pigeon to dwell because they are cliff dwellers.
Why is there a pigeon on my air conditioner?
Pigeons are on your air conditioner because some of these locations, like window ledges and air conditioners, replicate their indigenous environments, which include cliffs, caverns, and mountains.
You’ll often find pigeons nesting between buildings or behind buildings where they aren’t usually disturbed. If you have a pigeon nest on your air conditioner, talk to us about pigeon-proofing your window and air conditioner.
How do I get rid of pigeons under my air conditioner?
Pigeons are under your air conditioner because it provides security. A large window air conditioner quite often remains in a window year around. These locations are great for a pigeon or bird nest. They protect the pigeons from sunlight and cover them from the rain and cold air. If you have pigeons under your air conditioner, this probably will require you to remove the air conditioner and then the pigeon nest removal. This might also involve taking the nest to a nearby bird sanctuary.
Why are there so many pigeon droppings on my building?
Often, pigeons will hang out or nest near the area where they are feeding.
So if you notice many pigeons on top of your building, you might want to identify their food source before pigeon proofing the building. Often this is trash, but in many other cases, these are people who feed the birds in the parks or on the roofs of their buildings. Unfortunately, there is no law against this.
How do I keep pigeons out of my window ledge?
Depending on your situation, we can work with you for effective pigeon-proofing solutions. This might involve adding wires, spikes, or certain gels to your window sill to prevent the birds from getting comfortable. Call us and talk to us about pigeon-proofing your window ledge, roof or property.
What is the cost of bird removal?
It depends on the situation. We’ve removed birds from attics, abandoned apartments, and other properties. It depends on the amount of work involved in removing the bird. We will try our best to remove the animals without harming them.
What is the cost of pigeon nest removal?
Pigeon nest removal under a window air conditioner involved removing the air conditioner, the nest, and birds, then reinstalling the air conditioner. The final part of the process involves transporting the nest to a bird sanctuary.
What is the cost to remove pigeon droppings or pigeon feces?
