Sonic System

Sonic bird control systems are becoming more common in the bird control sector and broadly speaking fall into three distinct categories; ultrasonic systems, sonic systems and bio-acoustic systems. For information on ultrasonic systems please see our ‘Ultrasonic Systems’ product review. Sonic systems produce a variety of electronically-generated sounds normally emitting noise levels up to 120 dB (A) and are designed to frighten birds with loud and unpleasant noises. Sonic noise is sound that is audible to the human ear – ultrasonic sound is normally not audible to the human ear but in some cases can be heard by women or young children. Bio-acoustic systems use natural alarm and distress calls as well as predator calls in order to create a hostile environment for the target species. Alarm calls are made when the bird perceives itself to be in danger, distress calls are made when the bird is in pain or has been attacked by a predator and predator calls are cries made by a predatory bird. Distress calls, alarm calls and predator calls are audible to the human ear.

Pure sonic systems are not widely available for the purpose of bird control with a majority of sonic devices being provided as part of a 2/3/4-way or even a 5-way system. These systems may include any of the following; distress calls, alarm calls, predator calls, ultrasonic sounds and sonic sounds. In some cases these systems are complimented by strobe lights providing a visual scaring element to the system. Most systems are available for internal or external use and a majority of the combo systems have multi-speaker options for ‘surround-sound’ scaring.

The most effective sonic systems appear to be those that are programmable and which offer sonic, ultrasonic and bio-acoustic options. For the purposes of this review it is these systems that we will concentrate upon. A majority of these systems are static systems with multi-speaker options that would normally be used for the protection of larger areas such as football stadiums or large industrial warehouses. For smaller more intimate areas the single-speaker units may be more appropriate but many of these units are only available with single-voice options such as distress calls or predator calls. Where sonic systems are installed in areas in areas of human habitation it must be understood that noise will be generated which may be intrusive, unpleasant and anti-social. For any type of urban application a thorough survey of the area must first be undertaken to assess the potential for human disturbance. If a sonic system is to be considered for an internal application such as a factory unit where people are working, care must be taken to ensure that workers do not suffer sonic disturbance (or visual disturbance if a combo unit with a strobe is used).

Most sonic systems are powered by mains electricity (AC current) for ease of use and in an effort to reduce the need for human interaction, but a majority of systems also offer a battery-powered option (DC current) and in some cases a solar panel option as well.

Ultrasonic frequency range: 15-25 KHz
Sonic frequency range: 3-5 KHz
Ultrasonic sound pressure: 95-102 dB (per speaker) at 1 metre
Sonic sound pressure: 105-110 dB (per speaker) at 1 metre
Switchable sound options: Distress calls, Predator sounds, Sonic sounds

Constant sounds: Ultrasonic sounds play constantly
Ultrasonic modes: High frequency, Medium frequency, Low frequency
Operation modes: Delay period (time between playing calls), Time of operation, Random mode
Delay period settings: Short/Medium/Long/Extra Long
Timed operations: Day only/24 hour/Night only
Random settings: Mode on, Mode off

Another major consideration when siting a sonic device is proximity to human habitation. The benefit of a fully programmable device is that the various sounds and calls (and lights if applicable) can be switched off at times when the device may be liable to cause disturbance, but the more basic units may need to be manually switched requiring regular human interaction. In the case of all sonic systems the transmission of sound will be effected by wind, temperature and the deflection of sound waves from surrounding buildings and therefore finding the optimum site may be time consuming. It is also the case that when the speakers need to be re-located due to the risk of habituation, the process of risk assessment must be undertaken all over again to ensure that the reflected sounds not only continue to be effective as a deterrent but also do not disturb people living or working in the vicinity.

The sonic bird scarer is a relatively inexpensive product based on the sheer number of scaring options provided together in one unit, certainly in the case of the multi-function scarers, but the issue of habituation is an ongoing concern for users. Most experts believe that sonic products, be they bio-acoustic, ultrasonic, sonic or a combination of all three can only ever play a part in an overall control strategy combining other deterrents and anti-perching products. Although the product may appear to be reasonably priced based on the various options available to the user and relative to some of the more cost-prohibitive exclusion products such as bird netting, when provided as part of an overall control system the product does not seem quite so cost-effective. Many users will purchase this product because they are simply looking for a maintenance-free option that is clean, cheap to run and which has numerous operating options. It is possible, however, that the product will not quite live up to their expectations when the necessity to regularly re-site the product and/or the speakers to reduce habituation is taken into consideration, combined with the probable need to complement the system with deterrents.

Also commonly known as:

Bird wailer, sonic scarers, ultrasound bird scarers, quadblaster, wailer, silent bird scarer, electronic bird scarer, maxi wailer, midi wailer, broadband pro, billboard pro, ultrasonic scarers, sonic deterrents, ultrasound deterrents, bird xpeller pro, super bird xpeller pro, distress call system, sonic distress system

Relevance to pigeon control:

Sonic systems are used to scare a wide variety of birds, predominantly in the agricultural sector, but the product is also commonly marketed as a pigeon-scaring device

Bangor University in a flap as noisy pigeons disrupt exams

Bangor University has been forced to apologise to hundreds of students after their exams were disrupted – by pigeons.

The university had to reschedule assessments for 224 law and modern languages students, whose exams were stopped because of the noise from a pair of pigeons that had found their way into the examination hall.

According to Seren, the Bangor student newspaper that first reported the story, the pigeons were already in the hall when students took their seats on Tuesday morning. The exams were not postponed until around 45 minutes later, however, despite invigilators being aware of the birds.

One student told Seren: “There were two pigeons that somehow got in and they were on top of the organs in the back of the room and would not just shut up.”

It is unclear how the pigeons entered the hall, though they may have flown through some missing windows near the roof.

Following the postponement, many students took to social media to express concerns that their marks would be affected or that they would be unable to attend resits.

The university said: “First-year and third-year students following modules in public law and international law were those mainly affected.

“Bangor University has apologised to the students concerned and in addition to rescheduling the exams, have assured students that they will not be disadvantaged as a result of this disruption.

“Other students who were sitting other papers were relocated and were able to continue with their exam.

“The pigeons left the hall before the afternoon exam session, which went ahead as planned.”

Irritape Bird Deterrent

‘Irri-tape pigeon scarer’ is a bird and pigeon control product that visually scares pigeons and birds by the use of holographic images imprinted onto a polyester film. The images resemble owl’s eyes in an interlocking pattern and the 3-dimensional holographic surface reflects the colours of the spectrum as the tape moves. Irri-tape comes in the form of a tape, normally sold in 100 foot or 500 foot rolls, that is ready for use by simply cutting to size. The tape measures 2” wide and .0001” thick. Irri-tape has a considerable number of applications and will scare a variety of bird species including waterfowl and predatory birds.

Irri-tape pigeon scarer is effective, according to the distributor, because it flashes as it moves in the wind with constantly changing colours and patterns. The flashing ‘ripple’ effect unsettles the target species and is perceived as a danger signal. Viewed from a distance, Irri-tape has a reptilian sheen and as a result may be perceived as a predator by other birds, thereby scaring them. The perceived movement of Irri-tape, courtesy of the holographic images, may even be seen by the target species as a rival for food or territory.

Irri-tape not only scares pest species of birds visually but also by making a metallic rattling sound when caught in the wind. The combination of audio and visual scarers in one product makes Irri-tape pigeon scarer an interesting bird control option.

Irri-tape’s applications include protecting ponds, lakes and lawns from waterfowl such as ducks and geese as well as protecting facilities such as fish farms from predation by hawks and other raptors. Irri-tape pigeon scarer can also be wrapped around tree trunks and grape vines to stop bird damage as well as commercial fruit crops and fruit and vegetable plots in domestic gardens. Irri-tape can be applied to flat surfaces such as narrow fences or ledges on buildings to stop birds such as pigeons landing and perching. The product can also be suspended above perching or roosting areas by specially designed wire supports and the main ribbon can be made even more effective by attaching 5 foot long ‘streamers’. Irri-tape can also be used to scare birds from pleasure craft moored in marinas and on roof tops to stop birds landing. The distributor even suggests that whole areas can be protected by providing a line of upright posts and ‘maypoling’ 6-10 foot strips of Irri-tape pigeon scarer to them, allowing the Irri-tape to blow freely in the wind.

Irri-tape pigeon scarer appears to be simple and straightforward to install in virtually every application and the product can be installed by a property ownerrather than having to instruct a specialist contractor. The product is relatively inexpensive to buy and is also lightweight, durable and maintenance-free.

Where urban installations are concerned, access to maintain and repair damaged tape must also be taken into consideration. Birds such as pigeons will often choose inaccessible areas to perch and roost and therefore access to these areas to both install and maintain the product may be difficult and potentially expensive. There are also many more areas on buildings where reflective tape may become ‘snagged’ on architectural features, for example, than in open-space environments such as gardens and fields. Based on the fact that most urban applications will require the product to be installed at height, the question of how the product will stand up to strong winds and gales must also be considered. If Irri-tape pigeon scarer is installed as a linear application, along a parapet wall for example, the likelihood of the product being damaged as a result of high winds is lessened, but cannot be ruled out.

Irri-tape pigeon scarer is clearly a product that deserves consideration whether it is used for the protection of gardens, crops or buildings. As with a vast majority of bird scarers, however, the product will be considerably more effective when provided as part of an overall control system rather than as a stand-alone device. There are very few products within the pest control marketplace, with the possible exception of anti-roosting spikes, that are 100% effective as a stand-alone deterrent/scarer or anti-perching device.

Olympia firefighters rescue duck stuck in netting

Olympia firefighters stepped up to help on Sunday when a duck flew right into the backstop netting at the Capitol High School baseball field and got stuck about 40 feet from the ground.

David Supensky of For Heaven’s Sake Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation said they got a call about the stuck duck and when he arrived at the scene with a ladder, he realized he wouldn’t be able to reach the bird.

He called the Olympia Fire Department and they came out with their 100-foot ladder.

“They cut the netting and put the bird in a crate and brought it down,” Supensky said.

Supensky said the bird had some abrasions on its left wing. Supensky’s wife removed the netting from the bird’s wing and kept it overnight.

The next day David released the bird back in Yauger Park, which is near the ball field.

“It went right back into the water,” Supensky said. “A happy ending.”

Pigeons fall for this optical illusion too – but in a different way

Tips for Effective Bird Control

Tips for Effective Bird Control Management

Bird nests should be removed prior to using any Bird Deterrent. If there is a nesting situation involved. If birds are in trees, and nests cannot be physically removed, products need to be in the trees with the birds in order to have any desired effect!

Some electronic products work immediately! Actually, in some cases, the electronics DO produce immediate and dramatic results. BUT, as a general rule, and considering the thousands of situations and environments it may take several days and patience for the product to affect the birds. Again, in cases of nests, the continued existence of the bird nests, especially in the spring, will be an instinctive magnet for the birds.

Electronic products need to be installed at the correct level. In order for the electronic product to work most effectively, the birds must be exposed proximately and consistently to the sounds whether they are ultrasonic sounds (silent to humans) or the occasional sonic sounds (natural sounds of predator birds like hawks and falcons and bird distress signals). This means that the speaker of a given system must be all the way up at the level of the birds and the birds ideally should be exposed to the sounds at a reasonable distance for a good deal of the time to break their particular habit.

Some electronic bird control devices can control 100% of the birds 100% of the time in 100% of applications! However there are simply too many environments and contributing factors which may determine how well an electronic repeller works, how fast it takes effect and what percentage of the problem a given repeller is capable of solving.

Sound devices are designed, in part, to change behavior patterns of birds. The systems are programmed by the user and the programming is there so it can be altered frequently or periodically to continue to chase the birds. Nest removal may have to be more frequent than once to help the longevity of the control program.

Survey the birds. Gather specific data as to the type and population of birds, length of time of their residence, flight and time patterns, entries, exits and favorite areas, and nesting, feeding and roosting habits.

Survey your property. Discover what the birds find attractive about your area (food, shelter, hidden recesses…), and whether the same conditions prevail in neighboring properties. Note overhangs or foliage above current infestations.

Remove all inducements. Before installing any product, make sure to clean the area of all evidence of birds: nests, fledglings, droppings, dead birds, and the residual scent. (Adult birds are likely to return to their young in order to protect them or to assist them in leaving the area.) Also remove food spillage, garbage, nesting material and other items that may be appealing to birds.

Maintain a clean and changing environment. For maximum effectiveness, periodically clean the area of nests, debris and droppings. This should be done often on a new installation to ensure that birds do not try to return to their old habits.

Install early. It is always best to install a product before “bird season” begins; it is easier to keep the birds away than to rout them out once they have already established a living pattern.

Consider alternate locations. Make educated guesses as to where the birds will go when they are repelled from their current infestation. It may be very easy for birds to relocate to the other side of a roof or warehouse, an adjacent loading dock or a nearby gutter or pipe. Products should be applied to, or installed in, these adjacent areas as well.

Pigeons Invade pressing repairs needed!!

Pigeons living on the third floor ohhh No!!!.

Gretna City Hall, built in 1907 to serve as the Jefferson Parish courthouse, is in need of critical repairs that the mayor and council members say will have to be made within the next few years.

On a recent walkthrough, she said, an official from the state Office of Facility Planning and Control looked at the council chamber’s variable air damper and said he had never seen one that old before.With many parts of the system dating back to the 1960s, the piecemeal approach to upkeep is expensive, and each solution is likely to create another problem. “You start fooling with these panels, they have carbon streaks, rust, corrosion … and before you know it, you destroy something else,” Folse said. He told the council there is evidence that pigeons are coming in and out of the building on the third floor. New District 4 Councilman Jackie Berthelot called the building’s condition “deplorable.”

Man jailed five days for killing gull that stole pigeon feed

OTTAWA — An Ottawa man will serve five days in jail for bashing a gull to death because it was stealing the seed he meant for pigeons in the ByWard Market last summer.

Keith Watt, 59, was sentenced Thursday in an Ottawa courtroom on a charge of causing distress to an animal.

Watt beat the bird on Aug. 27, 2013. It died of its injuries two days later.

“Violence against animals is not acceptable, no matter what the animal,” Bruce Roney, executive director of the Ottawa Humane Society, said in a statement. “This bird really suffered before dying from its injuries. We’re pleased the justice system has acknowledged that this act of animal cruelty is unacceptable to our community.”

According the Humane Society report of the case, Watt was feeding pigeons in the Market and got mad when gulls arrived and began to eat the food, too. One gull got close enough that Watt was able to grab it. The gull bit him.

Watt “responded by swinging the gull with what appeared to be full force against a brick wall.” He then tossed the badly injured bird over a nearby fence.

A witness reported the incident and the gull was taken to the Wild Bird Care Centre, where it died.

Watt was charged under the Ontario SPCA Act.

He was also put on probation for two years and is banned from owning an animal for five years. He must also pay the Humane Society’s court costs.

Pigeon WI-FI

Samsung have decided to try and improve on London’s internet access in public squares and parks by utilising the pigeons in the area. Donning micro-router packs, the London pigeons will create mobile Wi-Fi in the area. They’re super lightweight, water resistant and will not impede the pigeon’s flight at all.

The Senior Pigeon Engineer at Samsung further added: “Pigeons have a natural inbuilt GPS function called ‘homing’ and have hollow bones so they are natural conductors of electricity so can recharge the routers when they sit on telegraph wires. They are also non-migratory so we won’t lose signal in the winter.”

Samsung Fli-Fy is set to roll out across the UK should the scheme be successful. An app will be available on Google Play and Samsung Apps to help users check their connectivity.

Animal Support Helps Pigeons via Rescue & Adoption

Animal Support, co-founded by Dr. Michael Omidi and Julian Omidi, is a new supporter of MickaCoo Pigeon & Dove Rescue which saves domestic (unreleasable) birds that would otherwise be killed in San Francisco Bay Area animal shelters. In less than seven years, this volunteer-driven nonprofit has saved the lives of more than 600 birds with its avian vet care, foster home, and adoption services.

MickaCoo (http://www.pigeonrescue.org) is a network of volunteers working together to save the lives of domestic, unreleasable pigeons and doves that would otherwise be killed in shelters. Started in 2007 by Elizabeth Young, MickaCoo volunteers have saved the lives of more than 600 birds. Volunteers respond to calls from shelters, vets, and good Samaritans to provide avian vet care for ill or injured birds, long-term foster care, and place birds into qualified forever homes. MickaCoo serves the seven counties surrounding San Francisco.

At any given time, MickaCoo’s team of dedicated volunteers is generally caring for more than 100 birds. The organization rescues all types of pigeons and doves but most of its services benefit a domestic bird called a King Pigeon that is bred for eating (squab) and is sometimes mistakenly released at ceremonies or in a misguided effort to save their lives.. They are not able to survive on their own and have a life span of only hours to days in the wild.

Pigeon or Parrot you decide?

Over the weekend a couple of peculiar looking pigeons were spotted. Are they parrots? Or are they both? “I have never seen birds with this marking and have not been able to find anything about them online. Or maybe a teenage pigeon got mad at mom and dad and rebelled by Manic Panic-ing her feathers? Or maybe these pigeons are just naturally cooler than the other pigeons? Or maybe someone is breeding parrots with pigeons and one day our streets will be so colorful? Or maybe a human dyed them for an art project.

We’ve reached out to a local bird expert, as well as the Audubon Society for answers, and will update when we know more.

The stench of pigeon poop has some wondering!

The stench of pigeon poop has some Allen Park residents up in arms.

Robert Allen of the Detroit Free Press of reports that resident Michael Morris has some 50-80 prized homing pigeons that roost in specially made lofts behind his Allen Park home.

The next-door neighbors say the smell of pigeon poop is a big problem. Some also complain about pigeon droppings.

“Until you live it, you can’t pass judgment,” said next-door neighbor Mary Ferenc, who said she’s tired of hosing pigeon droppings off her property. “Until you live there and you smell it.”

Wow people who want to live with the birds!!

Airport Pigeon Threat

NBC 5 Investigates continues to track a serious threat to airplanes over Bachman Lake, on the north side of Dallas’ Love Field Airport.

Last summer, video shot around the lake showed groups of pigeons sitting on the landing lights and huge flocks of ducks and geese roosting around the lake. On video, one large bird even darted right in front of a Boeing 737 on final approach to the airport. According to a federal database last year, on average, at least one plane per week hit a bird at the airport. Since 1990, more than 400 Southwest Airlines jets have hit birds or other wildlife while Love Field has never had a comprehensive program to deal with them.

Carter said birds get accustomed to noise. After all, they’re not scared away by jets screaming over their heads. Instead, he recommends using trained dogs and falcons to chase birds away day after day.

“So basically you’re giving the birds a choice to be here, where there’s a predator, or a wolf in their eyes, or to be somewhere else where there’s no predator, and you simply shift that,” said Carter.

The airport said it’s now willing to consider the use of dogs and has tested a falcon.

But they’re not using either on a daily basis right now and huge groups of ducks, gulls and pigeons still swarm the area. Despite new warning signs at Bachman Lake, people are still feeding them.

The airport is seriously considering asking the City Council to pass a law that would allow police to ticket people for feeding birds along the lake.

Ultimately, Carter said the birds will stay unless the airport does something to physically chase them off day after day.

Until then, the danger remains.

One year of Sleepless nights due to Pigeons.

We wish the staff at Pigeon Patrol could have helped this couple sleep sooner. A couple said they have endured 12 months of sleepless nights and deteriorating health due to dozens of noisy pigeons setting up home beneath solar panels on their roof.

Stephen Fishenden and wife Linda, 65, of Wittenham Way in Chingford, say they have lived through “hell” since the birds began to seek above the energy-saving panels, which were fitted by a contractor.Mr Fishenden first complained to Ascham Homes in March last year about the “horrendous” noise keeping them awake at night and his wife’s deteriorating health.

The 65 year-old said: “I specifically asked at the time if we would have any problems with birds and was reassured they would not be a problem.”We are both constantly awake and have had hundreds of sleepless nights. It is particularly horrendous in the morning.”

Following further complaints, the couple said a contractor visited the property in late November and told them he would provide a quote for the scaffold tower, but never returned.

She said: “Mr Fishenden contacted Ascham Homes at the end of March last year about the issue with pigeons nesting under the solar panels at his property. “One of our contractors visited the property shortly afterwards to inspect and recommend the appropriate bird-proofing measures.

Mr Fishenden described the response is a “complete fabrication”, insisting the contractor did not visit the property until nine months later.

We are wishing the best for this couple and hope that they move to a hotel until the birds are vacated.

Pigeon Patrol Releases the new TubeSonic

Imagine chasing away pests like pigeons and loitering teenagers with an ultrasonic device you can control from your computer or smartphone.

While it may seem like some kind of a dream, it was on display at the Buildex Vancouver trade show that’s being held Wednesday and Thursday at the Vancouver Convention Centre West.

Pigeon Patrol is based in Surrey, where it also manufactures the snazzy TubeSonic that uses sound to scare away pests — from winged to four-footed and even the two-footed, teenage variety.

Using an amplifier, speakers, a small computer and wifi interface, the TubeSonic emits frequencies from 8 kHz to 24 kHz. There are 12 different settings, plus more than 100 recorded sounds designed to “startle, confuse, disorient and intimidate.” Frequencies adults can’t even hear are used to upset the sensitive hearing of youths.

It can all be controlled remotely and set to a schedule.

The company also has a variety of other products, like weather-resistant stainless steel spikes to keep birds from landing where they shouldn’t, to an all-natural herb gel that sales manager Andrew MacBain said “smells like death” to birds.

But none of the company’s products are actually deadly.

“We’re very humane,” said MacBain.

There are more than 425 exhibiting companies at Buildex and in excess of 60 seminars. The show was expected to attract 13,500 industry professionals from interior design, construction and real estate management.

REBEL PIGEONS!

Rebel Pigeons?!

140208_GT_DSM_Owl_1

Looks like Pigeons aren’t afraid of owls, well fake ones at the least. An owl was placed on top of a roof to keep pigeons away but it didn’t work at all. Many pigeons gathered together on top of the roof to soak up some sun. With the use of Pigeon Patrol’s bird deterrents, this wouldn’t have made it to the headlines because there wouldn’t have been any pigeons flocking together. I think the simple use of 4-S Gel would have actually scared the pigeons away.

Canadian who died from H5N1 flu may have caught it in illegal bird market.

Pigeon Patrol says that this is No joking matter!! Chinese researchers are suggesting Canada’s first H5N1 flu patient may have

Understand it!!!

contracted the bird flu virus passing through or near an illegal live bird market in Beijing.

And Canadian scientists have published a report on the full genetic sequence of virus taken from the Alberta woman, who died in early January after returning from a three-week trip to her native China.

The source of the woman’s infection has been a mystery; she spent her entire trip in Beijing, where H5N1 reportedly hasn’t been discovered for some time, and her travelling companion said she did not have contact with live birds while there.

But scientists from Beijing’s Centre for Disease Prevention and Control are hypothesizing that illegal live bird markets may have been the source of the woman’s infection.

Testing of the area around the market stall where the woman bought the duck revealed the presence of H5N1 viruses that were closely related to the ones that infected her.

As well, they note that several human infections with the newer H7N9 bird flu virus have been reported in Beijing.

The scientists suggest the illegal trade in live poultry in Beijing may pose a high risk of human infection with bird flu viruses for people living in the city.

While she had the respiratory infection that is characteristic of influenza infection, she also had evidence of meningoencephalitis, infection in the brain.

Protect yourself against the Pigeons!

Who’s not afraid of the Owl!!

Pigeon Patrol does not sell the fake OWL for a reason! It does not work. However Pigeon Patrol does manufacture the best five bird and animal deterrents on the market today. Ultra-Flex Bird Spikes, Bird Netting, Ultrasonic Repellers, Bird Lasers and the new 4-S Gel.

These pigeons are not frightened by the 2-foot-tall owl placed on top of the roof of a home. The pigeons flocked together to keep warm as the sun heated up the roof shingles.

Pigeons eat at Burger King

Pigeon Patrol ran across this funny story!

JANICE McGill tells of ‘disgusting’ experience at burger joint in Glasgow’s Queen Street.

A RETIRED nurse told yesterday how she was left in a flap – after dining with a pair of pigeons in a Burger King. Janice McGill, 52, was enjoying a day out in Glasgow with her cousin last week when they decided to eat in the Queen Street outlet. Janice, from Irvine, said: “There were trays and food all over the place. It was disgusting. There were two pigeons walking about on the tables and the floor, rummaging through the food wrappers.”

A Burger King spokesman said: “We take this incident extremely seriously as customer experience and satisfaction are of paramount importance to Burger King.”

Pigeon Patrol could have helped this store by supplying them with the Ultra-Flex bird or pigeon spikes or the best Ultrasonic sound unit on the market today. TubeSonic.

Humiliated for feeding pigeons ?

It is about time Pigeon Patrol says that, some bread thrower has been fined for feeding the birds!

A PENSIONER says she was ‘humiliated’ after being issued with a fine for feeding pigeons.

The 82-year-old, from Leigh, was feeding the pigeons with bird food she had brought from the market on Bradshawgate last Monday, January 27, when she was approached by a Wigan Council environment enforcement officer.

He informed her she was in breach of section 87 of the Environmental Protection Act and issued her a fixed penalty notice for littering. Council has a zero tolerance policy towards littering and bird feeding.

Using an Ultrasonic Repeller would have shooed those pigeons away and the feeding would never had happened.
