Should I relocate a pigeon?

Pigeons cannot be relocated, because they are wise birds and they can find their way back home. No matter how annoy you are with their presence, it will be best to not kill them. There are places wherein the law mandates the people to not harm the birds and the wildlife animals. Breaking the law may lead you to imprisonment. It is essential to never use any lethal method to kill them or to get rid of them. The lethal methods will kill them, but that will not help in preventing new birds from coming back. Aside from that, the birds do deserve to live and to progress, just not in your property. The principle here is to make the place unappealing to them, particularly when it comes to their sense of taste and odor and to make them feel scared whenever they are in the place.

Why don’t you just deter them from the roofs and dens? Is it possible? Oftentimes, the birds will like a place and when they do, they will roost there. It may be about the light, the ambiance, the serenity of the place that they like the most. Whatever the reasons may be, knowing how to keep them away from the den can be of help to you along the way. First, you can use the bird spiders. These are great devices and it is often placed on top of the HVAC units as well as the roof flashing and others. It is often made by thin pieces of metal and they move with the wind and flash when there is a sunlight. They will be scared of it.

Another is the use of bird spikes. If there is a structure that the birds love the most, you can use the spikes where they roost. These will blend in the property so that they will seem like a part of the structure, but they will do the job in keeping the birds from roosting in your property. Another is to make a slope that is greasy. There is nothing more annoying than trying to land and then get nothing but a hard to grip handle. The bird slopes will be placed to the place of the house where the birds can find the purchase, it will keep them from being able to sit down and nest there even just for a while. This means that they will fly to another place. The bird gel may also be useful, these gel solutions are harmless and they cannot hurt the bird nor the humans, however when they dry a little bit, they will leave the birds messy and annoyed, as soon as they feel it on their feet, they will fly away from it.
