Are those the rats with wings? Are they even rats?
They aren’t rats. Those are the pigeons who are called rats of the sky!
Let’s know why so.
Like the rodents, pigeons’ droppings too pose a health risk and so are they called the rats of the sky.
When it comes to pigeons, everyone’s a hater. They’re filthy disease carriers! Parasites of the urban environment!
Pigeons are commonly found around farmyards, feed mills, parks, city buildings, bridges. They are also a common sight around home bird feeders. Pigeons inhabit lofts, church steeples, attics, caves and ornate architectural features of buildings where openings and flat surfaces allow roosting, loafing and nest building. Nests consist of sticks, twigs, and grasses clumped together to form a crude platform.
They are definitely fine feathered friends, but in reality, birds can be a real nuisance causing costly damage to homes and business premises.
They are known as the ‘rats of the sky’ for a reason. Pigeons carry a range of diseases, some of which may be transmitted to humans if droppings contaminate foodstuffs. Pigeons have been implicated in the transmission of diseases such as pigeon ornithosis, encephalitis, and salmonella food poisoning. For this reason, their presence cannot be tolerated in and around food premises. They also carry mites which can cause skin disease and dust from their feathers can cause respiratory problems.
Large numbers of birds in and around sheds, livestock and poultry facilities, and farm buildings can cause damage and unsanitary working conditions. Birds may consume and contaminate food and water, potentially transmitting diseases to livestock and poultry. Accumulated droppings are messy and can corrode farm equipment. Nests often plug drains and gutters, and birds may cause additional damage by destroying insulation.
Pigeons, familiar to most people, are an exotic (non-native) species. They are generalists in their feeding habits; although they prefer grain and seed, they consume garbage, insects, bread, and other handouts from people. Around barns, pigeons can subsist on spilled or improperly stored grain. Now, many countries have implemented laws to ban the feeding of pigeons.
The droppings can cause a huge mess to your apartment balcony and patio, staining and threatening the surfaces of your outdoor furniture. The acidic quality of pigeon droppings can eat away at your car’s paint, causing significant and costly damage to your automobile.
In addition to being a threat to human health, pigeons can be a threat to human safety, particularly around airports, where pigeon flocks have collided with aircraft, causing human fatalities. Startled flocks can take flight suddenly, causing hazards to motorists and pedestrians.
Utah town stuffed with wild turkeys and some have had their fill

MENDON, Cache County — Hundreds of wild turkeys are flocking through the
streets, leaving a mess behind and making lots of noise in the town of about
1,500.
“I’m sitting in my office right now, looking out the window, and there is close to a hundred turkeys out on the city square right now,” Mendon Mayor Ed Buist said Tuesday.
“They’re kind of cool in a way, but there’s just way too many of them,” said homeowner Karla Davidson. She has long gotten over the novelty of the holiday birds.
“They make a mess of the yard. There’s turkey poop everywhere. It’s on the sidewalk and tracked into the house,” Davidson said.
Pigeon nuisance growing in Las Vegas valley
By Brittany Edney ; September 15, 2017
LAS VEGAS – Depending on how big of a pigeon problem residents have in southern Nevada, the price to get rid of the critters can be hefty.
An easy fix runs around a hundred dollars but could run as high as $10,000 if you wait too long. Experts say the damage pigeons can leave behind can’t be taken lightly.
Pigeon droppings are disgusting, to say the least. Their feces can attract vermin, such as mice, rats, and flies, and, because it is highly acidic, will stain, and possibly eat away the underlying surface. The caustic nature of pigeon droppings has caused significant damage to roofs, especially tar-based structures, and has been known to cut the roof life in half in some cases.
