    Extractions: Please help me. I am at my wits end with pigeons, what started out as a pleasure for me now has turned into a nightmare. I love and enjoy birds, I put up a feeder for sparrows and those lovely cardinals, all I have now is those nasty and fighting pigeons. Is there something I can do to deter them from coming around. Help! Dani Pigeons (and Doves) have become pests in some areas of North America. In large cities, they can make a real mess on sidewalks, window ledges and statues. These birds feed on the ground or on platform feeders. They will not land on the small perches of tube feeders, but they may sit in the tray beneath a tube feeder! They tend to eat a LOT!!! The key to making them stop pigging out at your feeder is to keep seed off the ground. Try to keep the area under your bird feeders clear of seeds by sweeping them up each day. You might also try placing a screen under the feeders so seeds fall through but the birds cannot get to them.

    Extractions: Welcome Page PIGEONS Pigeons are abundant in cities and around rural areas of Colorado. They conflict with humans for several reasons. Their droppings can deface buildings, kill vegetation, and are aesthetically displeasing when deposited on benches, sidewalks, and cars. Around grain elevators, pigeons consume and contaminate grain destined for human consumption. Pigeons carry pigeon ornithosis (psittacosis) encephalitis, newcastle disease, toxoplasmosis, salmonella food poisoning and other diseases. Histoplasmosis, a fungal disease that can infect people, can be contracted when cleaning up accumulations of dusty pigeon manure. Pigeon ectoparasites such as mites, fleas, ticks, and bugs may readily bite people. Pigeons are also considered a hazard around airports. Problems with pigeons can be reduced or avoided with several methods. Pigeons can be excluded from buildings by placing 1/2 to 1 inch hardware cloth or plastic netting over eaves, vents, windows, doors and other openings. The angle of roosting ledges should be altered to 45 o or more with sheet metal or wood. Porcupine wires (Nixalite or Cat Claw) can be placed on ledges and ridges of buildings to prevent roosting. Two or more strands of steel wire can be stretched above and in front of ledges to deter landings. Various sticky substances such as Roost-No-More and Bird Tanglefoot can be placed on ledges to temporarily discourage pigeons.

British intelligence agents secretly discussed plans to attack the Soviet Union with pigeons armed with biological weapons, documents made public by the National Archives reveal. The bizarre Cold War scheme was hatched by Wing Commander WDL Rayner, a Royal Air Force officer who, in the aftermath of World War II, saw suicide pigeons as the future of warfare. He was part of a top-secret "pigeon committee" set up after the war amid concerns that lessons learned from using pigeons to carry messages through Nazi German lines would be lost as the British military disbanded its flocks. Rayner's idea called for pigeon lofts to be situated around Britain at locations with the same electro-magnetic and coriolis values as potential Soviet targets.

89. The Straight Dope: Why Do Pigeons Bob Their Heads?
    Why do pigeons bob their heads? 13Apr-1979. When pigeons bob their heads as they walk is it because their legs are connected to their necks or what?

    Extractions: Home Page Message Boards News Archive ... FAQs, etc. Why do pigeons bob their heads? 13-Apr-1979 Dear Cecil: Can you in your infinite yet magnanimous wisdom explain something that's been troubling me for years? When pigeons bob their heads as they walk is it because their legs are connected to their necks or what? Dennis A., Highland Park, Illinois Basically the pigeon's back-and-forth head motionnot exactly a bobhelps it keep its balance when walking. The pigeon's legs are located pretty far astern, and if it kept its head forward all the time it would probably tip over. This would expose the pigeon to the ridicule of the community. Instead, what it does is move its chest forward in time with one leg, and its head forward in time with the other leg. Thus some weight is always trailing a little abaft the port beam, as we say. Many fowl have similarly peculiar gaits, because they cannot afford orthopedic shoes. You dunderhead, where'd you dig up that story about pigeons bobbing their heads to maintain balance? Any text of ornithology (Pettingill's, for example) will tell you pigeons, like most birds, have eyes on the sides of their heads, their vision's basically monocular, and they bob their heads for depth perception. Birds with front-faced eyes, like owls, have binocular vision, and, like people, don't have to bob their heads. Straight dope, indeed! Paul G., Chicago

Story Tools YOUR E-MAIL ALERTS Homing pigeons Research or Create your own Manage alerts What is this? LONDON, England (Reuters) The secret of carrier pigeons' uncanny ability to find their way home has been discovered by British scientists: The feathered navigators follow the roads just like we do. Researchers at Oxford University spent 10 years studying homing pigeons using Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites and were stunned to find the birds often don't navigate by taking bearing from the sun. Instead they fly along motorways, turn at junctions and even go around roundabouts, adding miles to their journeys, British newspapers reported. "It really has knocked our research team sideways," Professor Tim Guilford said in the Daily Telegraph. "It is striking to see the pigeons fly straight down the A34 Oxford bypass, and then sharply curve off at the traffic lights before curving off again at the roundabout," he said.

    Extractions: Message Boards News Archive Ask Cecil ... Cecil Who? Where are all the baby pigeons? 22-Mar-1985 Dear Cecil: Judging from the number of pigeons inhabiting the city these days, one must assume that either they have very long life spans or they have enormously large numbers of offspring. Yet, although we see our share of baby robins, baby ducks, baby bunnies, and other infant animals, one seldom sees a baby pigeon. Do they emerge full grown from their eggs? Are the squabs simply well hidden, or are they guarded by the parent birds until they are grown, thus assuring a high survival rate? In short, where are all the baby pigeons? Birdwatching Commuter, Evanston, Illinois Cecil replies: I'm mystified by the enduring fascination baby pigeons seem to hold for the Teeming Millionsover the years I've gotten dozen of letters inquiring about their whereabouts. My answer is always the same: the elusive little devils are out there somewhere; you just don't see them because the nests are well hidden and because Ma and Pa Pigeon generally stay with the kiddies for their first few weeks of life. This never seems to satisfy anybody, though, because the letters keep dribbling in. At last, however, I am able report an actual sighting of a bonafide baby pigeon. Read on. Dear Cecil: I found two baby pigeons! They are huge, and look just like their mother. The reason you've never seen any is that they stay in the nest until they are old enough to drink, drive, vote, etc. The nest is right outside my office window on a ledge at Arizona State University's Memorial Union. Little does the mother know I could just open the window and snatch the little creatures! Do you want them? Laura M., Tempe, Arizona

    Extractions: Visitor # In the best selling juvenile fantasy "Harry Potter" series written by the English author J. K. Rowling, letters and parcels are often sent by "owl post." In these stories, witches and wizards keep their own personal or family owls which they employ for message delivery where, instead, we "Muggles" might use e-mail or the Post Office. In the books, owls have many advantages over both e-mail and letter carriers. Though an owl might not be as fast as e-mail, they are quite reliable and easy to use. Harry's white snowy owl, Hedwig, need only be told to whom she should deliver a message, and she delivers it without even being told the address. Harry's friend, Ron Weasly, has an old family owl named Errol. Errol's been around a bit, and always looks like he's about to collapse after delivering a message, but he still manages to always come through. Ron is given a small owl in the third book which he names "Pigwidgeon," which looks an awful lot like it was derived from the word "pigeon." The Harry Potter books go a long way to stir the imaginations of all readers, young and old. Although we know it's fantasy, it's fun to imagine what it would be like to wave a magic wand, learn magic spells, fly on a broom, and send messages with birds. But of course, we all know that wands are only in fairy tales, magic is in the imagination, brooms are for sweeping, and birds don't deliver messages.

Retour au sommaire Mickaël LES PIGEONNEAUX A la naissance, le petit est aveugle et il est juste recouvert d'un duvet. Il faut surtout éviter de les toucher dans la première semaine suivant la naissance pour éviter toute perte. Les parents rejettent dans le bec des jeunes des aliments pedigree dans le jabot des jeunes un lait extrêmement riche contenant vitamines, matières grasses et protéines. Pendant les 10 premiers jours (période de lactation), les pigeonneaux se développent à très vive allure du fait de la richesse du lait.

But what happens when your boss starts to think like a pigeon? From: Issue 72 July 2003, Page 56 By: Seth Godin Photographs by: Peter Ross B.F. Skinner was right: You can make a pigeon superstitious. Just put it in a cage and arrange for food to appear at regular intervals. Whatever the pigeon happens to be doing just as the food arrives spinning around, bobbing its head, whatever it will keep doing, over and over again, in the hope that the dance caused the food to appear. The pigeon will assume a cause-and-effect relationship that doesn't really exist.

Pigeons are superstitious, and I'm afraid that most of us are as well. There's plenty we do plenty we've always done that has nothing to do with what actually works. But once we've made up our minds, we're like pigeons. We don't want to change our behavior, regardless of how much data we see to support a new and better alternative. It's easier to be superstitious, easier to hope that the food will just slide out of the dispenser when we spin around and around.
