Rebel Pigeons?!
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.

Pigeon Patrol Products and Services wonder if Ultrasonic sound can kill you? The short answer is “yes”.
The Space Shuttle’s Mobile Launch Platform used to dump 300,000 gallons of water onto the platform during launch, to absorb the intense acoustic energy that would otherwise damage the Shuttle. Giant air horns, using nitrogen gas to produce sounds as loud as 154 decibels.
The question is, is 154 decibels enough to kill you? In all honesty, probably not — unless, perhaps, you were stuck with your head inside the horn for a prolonged period. 150 decibels is usually considered enough to burst your eardrums, but the threshold for death is usually pegged at around 185-200 dB. A passenger car driving by at 25 feet is about 60 dB, being next to a jackhammer or lawn mower is around 100 dB, a nearby chainsaw is 120 dB. Generally, 150 dB (eardrum rupture) is only achieved if you stand really close to a jet aircraft during take-off or you’re near an explosive blast.
The general consensus is that a loud enough sound could cause an air embolism in your lungs, which then travels to your heart and kills you. Alternatively, your lungs might simply burst from the increased air pressure.
High-intensity ultrasonic sound (generally anything above 20KHz) can cause physical damage. Some very low frequencies (infrasound) can apparently cause your eyeballs to vibrate, making it very hard to see.

Can a loud enough sound kill you?

As many as 1000 pigeons trapped or killed by a pest control firm in Amsterdam end up on dinner plates as pate. There have been massive amounts of pigeons around the area that they’ve been called sky vermin. This has led to a pest exterminating company to the idea of selling pigeons to butchers. After being caught, pigeons are sold to butchers across the city to be made into pate.
With the use of Bird Deterrents such as Ultra-Bird Spikes or Bird Netting, the areas with great amounts of pigeons could have been controlled or the products could have been put in place as an animal friendly solution.
Pigeons spread disease easily due to the fact that they can travel great distances, harbor over forty different types of parasites, and can host sixty different types of diseases. Without proper health regulations, this dish poses a lot of health risks.
As Pigeons are not protected, the pest control company can catch and do as they please with them. I don’t know how they are treating these animals but let’s hope they are as animal friendly as Pigeon Patrol is.

The Scottish Parliament has been dealing with issues regarding the amount of Pigeons surrounding the Holyrood Building for some time now. Contractors sent to deal with the pigeons suggested that the Parliament rethink their non-lethal ban if they want to keep their pigeons under control.
The contractors have used laser pens and hawks to scare the pigeons away but have caused concern from animal welfare groups.
The simple use of Pigeon Patrol’s Bird Free 4-S Gel or Sound and Laser Bird Repellers could have been a great animal friendly solution. By using Pigeon Patrol’s safe and humane bird deterrents, the Scottish Parliament and all animal welfare groups can be satisfied.

Ohh. Boy , there is a reason that Pigeon Patrol does not use Birds of Prey as a deterrent. This is reason one!
HAWKS were brought in on contract to scare away the pigeons. The parliament was warned the birds of prey could lead to a PR disaster if they began eating the pigeons alive in front of schoolchildren.
But the birds or Prey had a closer call in when a “service agreement” document carried instructions to clear pigeons from part of the MSP block, then added: “Shoot pigeons if possible during first visit; if not, a second visit may be required.”
Early attempts to combat the problem by stringing anti-pigeon wire across ledges failed because they just hopped over it. Anti-roosting spikes were first rejected as “visually unattractive”, but later installed.
So this is the answer Kill the birds with another larger bird or Shoot them!!
Thank goodness Pigeon Patrol offers Pigeon or Bird Spikes, Bird Netting, 4-S Gel and Ultrasonics Sound Units to deter the birds!!
