Pigeons:

Pigeons can be found in every major city in North America. They are often regarded as Pest Birds because of their close association and contact with Humans. In Idaho, they are an ever-increasing concern for Home Owners, Business, Municipal Facilities, Schools and Historic Districts. Pigeons (sometimes called Rock Doves) are fairly large birds (about 13 inches, beak to tail). Urban Pigeons usually have no need to migrate and reproduce through out the year, having 4 to 5 broods annually. Their droppings are quite acidic and have been known to degrade concrete. We often find a useless plastic owl mounted close by, as a failed attempt to get a Pigeon problem under control.

Given the option, Pigeons will occupy the interior of Buildings or the support structure of sheds or other open air Buildings. Diseases associated with Pigeons are classified in this manner:

Bacterial: Paratyphoid, Vibrosis, Salmonella, Listeriosis, Pasteurellosis

Fungal: Histoplasmosis, Candidiasis, Sarcisporidiosias, Blastomycosis

Viral: Encephalitis, Meningitis, Newcastle Disease, St. Louis Encephalitis

Protozoal: Toxoplasmosis, Trichomoniasis, American Trysansomiasis

Rickettsial: Rickets

This does not include the diseases spread by the parisites living on these birds.

Persons working, living or playing around accumulations of Pigeon Feces should take all the necessary precautions not to cross contamininate other persons or areas. They also need to take necessary precautions not to breath in airborne particles (Fungal Diseases). Other common problems associated with Pigeons are:
