Wildlife Tip of The Week

Do pigeons in the attic or soffit have a nest of babies?

Unlike other animals, the pigeon will have babies all year round, in some cases having four of five egg-laying periods, with usually two eggs at a time. I’ll do the maths for youone female pigeon left to her own devices in your attic could have up to ten babies in one year. Think of all the pigeon poop! Back to the problem in hand and yes, a pigeon in the attic will usually have a nest of babies, and there won’t be just the one pigeon either. The mom and dad pigeons will take it in turns to care for their new family, feeding them and protecting them, meaning that one female pigeon with her babies will soon turn into two adult pigeons and potentially a whole bunch of babies. Getting rid of the adults without the youngsters isn’t a smart move because then the youngsters will die anyway. Either that or the parent pigeons will break down the exterior of your home in anyway they can just to get back in again. You need to get rid of the family as a whole, and that’s just what makes pigeon removal all the more difficult.
