Phoenix, Arizona’s Pigeon Problem Grows

Phoenix, Arizona has a radius of a little more then five hundred squares miles, which makes Phoenix larger in land size then Los Angeles.  With a sprawling landmass, Phoenix’s population is now over one and a half million people and growing.  This large city is the fifth largest in the country and is the largest populated capital city in the country.  The attraction to Phoenix for some is the dry, warm climate, which offers its residents more then three hundred sunny sky days each year.  Some of the largest companies in the world have also made Phoenix, AZ their home to do business, such as Boeing, Intel, Motorola, Honeywell, Phelps Dodge, and American Express.  With a steadily growing human population and a constant increase in infrastructure, and building development there is another fast growing population making a mark in Phoenix, Arizona.  That rapidly growing population is Pigeons.  Pigeons have become very active in the Phoenix area and are causing a great amount of damage to the homes and buildings they are taking over.

Pigeons are finding the greater Phoenix area to be a perfect place to breed, which is causing their population to grow at an alarming rate.  With a growing pigeon population in Phoenix it is a guarantee that damage will also increase due to an increase in Pigeon activity.  The pigeons are drawn to the warm dry climate much in the same way that humans are.  With a total absence of cold, snow, ice, or constant rain it is easy for Phoenix’s pigeon populations to move around, to build new nests, and to breed new life.  Phoenix has a wide variety of buildings and infrastructure in the from of residential houses, apartment complexes, condo buildings, office parks, commercial structures, large shopping plazas, strip malls, office buildings, gas stations, freeway systems, overpasses, cell phone towers, all which are offering pigeons a safe place to breed, roost, make nests, and continue to boost their numbers.

As the Phoenix, Arizona area experiences a growing pigeon population; homeowners and commercial property managers must also face the annoying and costly presence of these birds.  For some these birds have become like pets to feed and offer seed to in the yard or park, however most who have begun experiencing a pigeon infestation are not seeing these birds as friendly pets.  For those Phoenix residents who are not enjoying the pigeon’s presence are realizing the true damage and cost that can be associated with these birds.  Phoenix’s pigeons are causing damage to the homes and building they are taking over.  As the pigeons make a commercial building, or home their new nesting place it is highly likely to experience problems with noise, pigeon droppings, filth, waste, and a very messy environment.  The pigeon feces contains acid, which can eat through a car’s paint, a home or building’s roof, and the build up can also be dangerous to the health of those in contact with the pigeon waste.
