Pirates, predators, power lines and poor luck — they brave it all for hundreds of miles, while carrying along the million-dollar hopes of the haves and have-nots. Pigeons are the new thoroughbreds in China and everyone has taken notice — breeders in Europe and even the feed industry in the United States.
Pigeon racing goes back hundreds of years and probably a lot longer. The races are held in countries across the globe, but the sport is at fever pitch in China. From Vice: “Twenty years ago — sort of a poor man’s delicacy, but now with the new Chinese economy, it’s become a rich man’s play thing.”
China’s nouveau riche love designer handbags, the finest wine, and sleek cars — but they’re also quick to slap down bags of cash on a pigeon. Money is swirling around Chinese pigeon racing, and the torrent shows no signs of abatement. In 2011, a Chinese entrepreneur payed $200,000 for a pigeon — Blue Prince — at PiPa, the world’s premier pigeon auction house located in Belgium. PiPa sold 218 pigeons that day — for an astounding $1.8 million.
And in 2013, PiPa sold Bolt (named after Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt) to another Chinese businessman for $400,000. An entire lot of 530 Belgian-bred pigeons went for almost $6 million that day, with nine of the 10 most expensive birds headed to China or Taiwan. (In 2009, The Telegraph reported that Chinese mafia gangs were hitting Belgian pigeon coops and stealing the prized birds. “Rather than attempting to smuggle their prey abroad, criminals will kill the pigeons and cut of their identifying rings to be used on much less valuable birds bred in Asia.”)
Blue Prince, Bolt and the other auction birds weren’t bought to race; they are strictly for breeding. As PiPa’s Ya Minna told The Independent, “A pigeon is a far better investment than a fine bottle of vintage wine. You can breed it; it will have children and grandchildren.”
Pigeons may look ordinary, but the actual races are a subculture of chaos. With entry fees ranging from a $200-$1,000, several thousand birds are loaded onto a communal truck and the trek to the starting line begins. The winner will not be the first pigeon to return. The birds are all banded with GPS locators and when they arrive home at their individual coops, a scanner records the arrival time and the winner is determined according to which pigeon flew home at the highest average speed. (This is a sport tailor-made for hijinks and corruption.)

The long haul home
The truck may drive 500-700 miles away, and then the birds are released as the marathon begins. Pigeon pirates are on alert, hoping to catch returning birds to sell on the black market; hawks are always on the prowl; bad weather may claim birds; and disorientation may be a factor.
This is no horse race with a two-minute hurtle towards euphoria or dejection; it’s a dry-mouth game of patience for the pigeon owners and bettors. The wait will last hours; and depending on whether it gets dark and the pigeons roost, it may lapse into the next day.
When the birds arrive home (the strongest birds will fly 600 miles without stopping), the tabulations are made, and the results are announced over the Internet and text. The winners gloat and count their cash; the losers lick their wounds; and the breeding begins.
With the glut of cash in Chinese pigeon racing, the U.S. feed industry has taken note. Jos Zamzow, Meridian, Idaho, believes his family company, Dynamite Marketing, has perfected a high-performance pigeon feed. The News Tribune reports that Zamzow’s first test shipments of the feed concoction will arrive in Taiwan this summer. “After they start winning races, we expect there will be significant demand … pigeon racing is popular all over Asia.”
Zamzow already markets pet and pork feed in Taiwan. “Now Zamzow is betting that Dynamite can transform Idaho-grown safflower and corn — and a top-secret, blood-boosting brew of mushroom powder and yeast cell wall extract it makes in its 102-year-old feed mill — into an annual export business worth up to $15 million.”
Spiraling pigeon auction prices, criminal bird gangs, and a mad gambling boom — a fitting backdrop for a capitalist sport once banned by Chairman Mao.

Every spring, down-covered mallard ducklings follow their mother across a pond. Goslings graze along side their Canada Geese parents in waterfront parks. Baby chickens peck the ground soon after hatching. But why do we never see baby pigeons?

Some baby birds—like those down-covered ducks, geese, and chickens—leave their nest shortly after hatching and do a lot of growing up while following their parents around. Others, like pigeons, stay in the nest and depend on their parents to feed and protect them, well into their youth.
When young Rock Pigeons finally leave the nest, they are full sized with adult feathers, and they look like their parents. So unless you look carefully under a city bridge, you aren’t likely to ever see a baby pigeon.
It’s easy to imagine, when hearing soft cooing sounds like these, why baby pigeons would rather stay in the nest. But the reason is they wait to fledge until they are nearly independent and the task of getting on with life is a bit easier.

Pigeons are beautiful to look at but they can also be a nuisance when they decide to invade your home. The cooing sounds can get loud and they’re known for messing up compounds with bird droppings and feathers. In addition to being annoying, pigeons also carry parasites and spread diseases. They roost in flocks and getting rid of them can be a challenge. Here are a few tips on how to get rid of pigeons without hurting them.

How to Get Rid of Pigeons Without Hurting Them
Pigeons can be a great nuisance, especially when they are in unwanted areas like a garden or under solar panels. Below is a list of a few ways to get rid of pigeons without hurting them.
Make Roosting Spaces Less Appealing
Make the spaces where pigeons land uncomfortably. You can achieve this by installing spike strips where the pigeons like to land. Make their nesting areas more difficult for them to survive by fastening the waterproof stings. This will make it harder for them to balance, forcing them to look for an alternative perching area.
Clean Upkeep
Keeping your surrounding clean is one of the best ways to keep pigeons away from your home. Keeping the grass trimmed low and having the trash picked up regularly will make your home less attractive to pigeons.
Avoid Feeding Them
Never feed pigeons or allow bird feeders to remain on your property. Feed pigeons and they’ll always return to places where they can find food.
Deter Pigeons from Your Roof
Block all exposed nooks and cover them with sturdy metal mesh. Inspect your entire house and seal off any potential entrances where pigeons can make their nests. Pigeons will commonly use chimneys, attics and window air conditioning units. To prevent them from making nests on or in these areas, seal off all entrances with a net.
Scare Off the Pigeons
Pigeons, like most birds, will scare easily. For instance, pressure washing pigeon holes with water will prevent the birds from returning. Alternatively, you can scare them off by placing a plastic owl in the yard, on a tree or close to the spot where they like to perch.
Hang wind chimes, a mirror or other reflecting surface in your garden. The reflection will irritate the pigeons and prevent them from coming back.
Get Rid of The Birdbath
Pigeons need water every day to survive. When there’s no water source, pigeons and insects won’t survive. Bird baths not only attract birds but also rodents and mosquitoes. If you can’t get rid of the birdbath, keep it clean and replace it with fresh water frequently.
Spray Honey Solution
This is one of the simplest yet most effective natural solutions to get rid of pigeons. Take a cup of water and mix it with a cup of honey. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray the solution on areas frequented by the pigeons. Pigeons dislike sticky solutions and will naturally stop coming to your yard.
There are plenty of other tricks on how to get rid of pigeons without hurting them. Once they’re out of your yard, find ways to prevent them from coming back to your premises. The trick is to be consistent in your efforts. For more information, professionals from Pigeon Solutions can help you.

How to Get Rid of Pigeons from a Balcony
Getting rid of pigeons from small areas like balconies can be resolved with relatively simple common-sense solutions.
-
Wires. You can use a wire coil or stainless-steel wire to deter pigeons perching on rails.
-
Shock Track. Several suppliers offer a “shock track” system to keep birds off balconies. The shock track does not hurt the bird but provides enough stimulation to make the targeted perching area unattractive.
-
Netting. Consider using a netting system to physically exclude the birds from balconies. This is the costliest alternative, although if installed properly it’s 100% effective. Newer versions of netting are virtually invisible.
-
Sound or reflected light. The easiest way to deter pigeons from your patio, deck, or balcony, is with sound or reflected light. You can achieve this with a wind chime, Mylar balloon, aluminum foil pans or even hanging CD’s. The reflected light disorients the birds.
-
Plastic owl or rubber snake. Consider using scarecrows (“effigies”). The most common example is a plastic owl or rubber snake. Unfortunately, the effects will most likely be short-lived. The pigeons come to recognize the scarecrow as something that is not a threat.
-
Spikes. Consider using anti-perching spikes that you can attach anywhere the birds like to perch. Spikes are best advised for limited areas where the goal is to move the birds someplace else. They are available in different materials from plastic to stainless steel.
-
Gel Repellants. You can use gel repellants to ledges where pigeons perch. The gel makes the surface sticky and the birds will try to avoid it. Unfortunately, dust and debris take their toll and reapplication is often necessary. The application of gel repellants is not recommended where there are smaller birds. They can permanently get stuck in the goo

How to Get Rid of Pigeons from a Roof
Getting rid of pigeons from a residential or commercial roof can be far more challenging. Although some are better than others, all the solutions that apply for keeping pigeons off a balcony (above), can also apply to larger open areas.
-
Consider using a wire coil or stainless-steel wire to deter pigeons from perching on the ridge(s).
-
A “shock track” system might keep birds off rooftops
-
Using wire or netting is appropriate for a roof design that incorporates nooks. You can also apply nets where the pigeons can construct a nest.
-
Solar panels provide excellent harborage for pigeons. Metal grid netting is the most effective method to limit access to the birds.
-
Flat commercial roof styles have their own set of challenges. The first option is to electrify the parapet perching areas. The second option is to install simple spikes. Be aware that pigeons enjoy the comfort of HVAC installations. As a solution, consider netting these units.
How to Get Rid of Pigeons at Industrial Facilities
The basic nature and scope of modern industrial facilities make them highly attractive to pigeons. The design of these facilities is most often open which allows the birds ready ingress and egress. More importantly, pipes, beams, poles, and catwalks offer a wide range of harborage and nesting options. Food sources are typically located nearby and as mobile pests, pigeons can move around freely from one area of the plant to the next.
Pigeons can represent a costly nuisance for plants, and in many cases have been at the facility ever since it was built. Over time, the nests, feces, and debris can cause considerable damage to a plant’s mechanical and electrical components. Furthermore, the birds’ droppings and other debris add additional health hazards to an already hazardous area.
Most conventional methods of pigeon mitigation offer little comfort to an industrial facility and decision makers often select culling solutions since everything else is either prohibitively costly or impractical. Methods such as trapping and poisoning the birds may help alleviate the problem temporarily, however, due to their rapid breeding, pigeons always return and repopulate the very attractive site in a few weeks or months.
While highly effective at smaller sites, physical exclusion is typically not an option at a larger plant. It is simply impossible to cover an oil refinery or power plant with a net.
The more common solutions for smaller scale facilities are only appropriate for the resolution of isolated problems at a larger plant. An area where there is zero tolerance for birds mandates physical exclusion to keep them out, while the overall control strategy needs to focus on abatement.
The following graphic provides an outline of the various options for bird abatement. There are just two alternatives:
-
Increase mortality with the common culling methods, trap, shoot or poison
-
Reduce reproduction with a contraceptive.
The most effective method at a complex installation is a control program based on OvoControl. A contraceptive has exceptional utility in these large sites where conventional bird control methods may not be appropriate or cost effective.
While baiting birds without killing them may seem counterintuitive to some, the successful long-term use of OvoControl at a wide range of different industrial facilities demonstrates otherwise.
OvoControl provides a safe, easy-to-use, and effective solution for everything from oil refineries to power plants to control the pigeon population for good.
OvoControl reduces the population naturally, through attrition, over time. With continued use, the population declines at a rate of roughly 50%, annually. With a successful contraceptive program, industrial facilities will ultimately drive their pigeon population down by 90 to 95%.
Furthermore, many industrial facilities often have challenging sites for environmental stewardship. Thankfully, OvoControl represents an environmentally benign pigeon mitigation strategy which does not pose secondary risks to raptors or scavengers.
NO SINGLE METHOD OR SOLUTION WILL SOLVE ALL PIGEON PROBLEMS
Short of exterminating the birds, there is no foolproof way to get rid of all of them. Pigeons have accompanied mankind for thousands of years and, like rats, are not leaving anytime soon. Unfortunately, even the effects of lethal methods are only effective in the short-term as the remaining flock rapidly breeds back the ones that are missing. Lethal solutions often represent a “harvest” of pigeons as opposed to an actual control program. Both larger and smaller problems can be solved with the techniques outlined above although all but the simplest sites require some observation and planning to develop a safe and effective strategy for success.
WHY NOT JUST KILL THE BIRDS?
Irrespective of any humane considerations, the casual observer often asks, “why not just kill the birds” for a prompt and effective resolution to a pigeon problem? While culling options provide an immediate and tangible solution to an acute pigeon problem, the effects are fleeting. More often than not, the population will simply “backfill” the void created by culling with increased reproduction and even more birds. Unfortunately, just killing the birds just provides the illusion of control. Only by limiting reproduction can you effectively manage the population in a manner to provide long-term control. Over time, killing pigeons more closely resembles a harvest as opposed to an actual control program.

Contractors tackling the long-running pigeon problem at the Scottish Parliament have issued a warning about the potential health risks of bird muck on the building
This is not a recent problem. It was obvious from occasional visits years ago.
Maybe if it had been a more conventional design, this bizarre occurrence wouldn’t be happening.
Keep those windows open to ventilate for covid but never mind what untold diseases you might catch from pigeons.
Aberdeen train station has a weird electronic bird of prey which seems to keep pigeons away. The recording of the screeching sound is quite convincing and the silhouette is quite good too. The mechanical wing movement, not so much.
Would imagine they won’t be long in throwing resources at it unlike the damp and infestation in the housing that they turn a blind eye to.
Pigeons have done more for the people of the UK than that place. Flatten it, sack them and plant some trees.
Well that may be the excuse the other parties needed to say the SNP is suffering from mad doo disease!
Has anyone considered what the poor pigeons might catch from those that are already in that place.
Pigeons are more astute than I gave them credit for!
Is this not an issue at the new infirmary building too?
Chuck a loaf or two of bread on the building a day, keep them well fed.

I work in a pharmacy and we (so far) have had supplies coming in daily. We were only without any for a couple of hours and that’s only because people were constantly coming in for them, don’t panic there will be enough.
They were handing them out in Dobbies the other day; don’t know if they do this every day.
Costco were giving them out today.
Testing should only be done when someone feels unwell.
I made a fortune from my mates, isolation over in time for the New Year.
You can get them at testing center’s – got one today.
Yes, always managed to get them online or at the local chemist.
Shambles! Cheese and wine more important!
Yes, I was given some last week when I had my booster.
No, can’t find any. I’m asthmatic and have COPD – it scares me that I can’t find any.
Handing them out in Midlothian Community Hospital.
Yes, got some yesterday at Ainslie Park Leisure Centre.
Piershill has become a battleground of wills between residents and the council over how bins should be serviced
Edinburgh council should give themselves a round of applause. Well done in transforming one of the most beautiful cities in the world into a third world slum.

Feeding birds is a wonderful way to help your yard’s avian visitors fuel up for migration and make it through a tough winter. It can also provide great opportunities for wildlife photography and observation. But it’s not enough to set your feeder and forget it. You need to clean it out, or you risk inadvertently causing the birds that visit to get sick. The same goes for birdbaths.
Some of the more common diseases that birds can spread through feeders include house finch eye disease (the colloquial name for mycoplasmal conjunctivitis, which can infect more than just the bird for which it’s named), salmonellosis (caused by salmonella bacteria), aspergillosis (a fungal respiratory disease), and avian pox. If you see a sick bird or one you suspect died from a disease outbreak, don’t pick it up or try to treat it yourself. Instead, follow these tips from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, or call the National Wildlife Health Center for instructions.
To prevent the spread of illness in the birds that frequent your seed buffet, try these three steps:
Clean feeders regularly
The National Wildlife Health Center recommends cleaning bird baths and feeders with a solution of nine parts water to one part bleach. (If there is visible debris, scrub it off before soaking in the bleach solution.) Dry out the feeder before hanging it back up. Project FeederWatch, a joint effort between Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Birds Canada, recommends cleaning seed feeders every two weeks or so. Double the frequency of cleaning if you suspect disease a-lurking.
Tidy below the feeder
This can mean raking or shoveling up feces and hulls (seed casings)—particularly those that are moldy, wet, or spoiled—and throwing them out, Project Feederwatch recommends. That’ll also help prevent scattered food from attracting rodents. On snow-covered lawns, scraping off a few layers of snow should do the trick.
