Pigeon Trapping and Removal

At High Desert Falconry, we understand that pigeons, while often admired for their adaptability and resilience, can sometimes become a significant concern in urban areas and agricultural settings. Whether it's due to the unsightly mess they leave behind, their potential to spread diseases, or the damage they can cause to infrastructure, pigeons have earned their reputation as a frequent urban pest. Our pigeon trapping and falconry-based bird abatement program offers a natural, humane, and highly effective solution.

Our Two-Pronged Strategy: Trapping and Falconry

We begin our pigeon control projects with a strategic approach. For locations with a significant pigeon presence, especially in areas like rooftops, we deploy live, humane traps to capture and safely relocate these birds. This initial trapping phase effectively reduces the pigeon population in the problem area.

Once the initial population is managed, our talented hawks take center stage. Introducing these raptors to the scene acts as a natural deterrent, leveraging the pigeons' instinctual fear of these predators to prevent their return.

However, we also recognize that not every situation or preference aligns with the use of raptors. For those who opt for it, we offer a stand-alone pigeon trapping service without the involvement of hawks.

Why Choose Falconry for Pigeon Control?

While there are many ways to get rid of nuisance birds, falconry is an age-old art that harnesses the natural predator-prey relationship between raptors and pigeons. By introducing a trained raptor into an area where pigeons are problematic, we can deter and push these birds out, encouraging them to seek safer habitats.

1. Ethical and Natural: Our methods are non-lethal, using the mere presence of our raptors to encourage pigeons to move on. No chemicals, no spikes, just nature's own way of restoring balance.

2. Effective: Pigeons have a deep-seated instinctual fear of birds of prey. The mere sight of one of our trained raptors in the sky can keep pigeons at bay, ensuring long-term deterrence.

3. Environmentally Friendly: Our approach aligns with eco-friendly practices, avoiding the use of chemicals or devices that could harm the environment.
