What do pigeons look like?
While we are pretty sure all New Yorkers are familiar with pigeons, we figured it couldn’t hurt to add a brief description. Bluish gray in color with two black bars on each wing, color patterns can vary between domestic and wild species. Interestingly the species is monogamous and both parents will care for their young.

Pigeons are considered dangerous because of the large number of diseases that they can spread and the damages that they inflict on properties. Diseases that they carry include cryptococcosis, salmonella, toxoplasmosis; they can also grow a fungus in their feces that causes histomplasmosis. Their droppings can cause people to slip and fall and their feathers and nests can cause problems for equipment and machinery. Pigeons are attracted to structures that offer safe shelter for nesting and roosting that is close to food and water sources.
