How Useful is Bird Control
PR Urgent
Sparrows and Feral Pigeons can carry bacteria causing Salmonellosis. Feral Pigeons carry rnithosis which is similar to viral pneumonia. Birds bird droppings and their nesting materials contain insects and mites. These insects can damage property stored foods and fabrics. As many building owners have learned keeping pigeons and other pest birds away from commercial buildings is not an easy thing to do.
Falcons’ roost is county’s boost
Youngstown Vindicator
Prey is caught in flight. The falcon delivers a powerful blow to its prey with a half-closed foot. It retrieves the dead bird either in mid-air or after it falls to the ground.

Mahoning County is blessed with natural intervention to solve the perennial problem of pigeon overpopulation at the county courthouse ? at no cost to the taxpayers. This intervention in the form of a new fourth-floor peregrine falcon?s nest couldn?t have come at a better time as the county faces a budget crunch that makes artificial interventions less affordable.
Remembering a bird called the passenger pigeon
Albert Lea Tribune
Maintaining a bluebird trail can be a lot of work and it takes a good amount of time. Mary said that seeing her mother?s smile made it all worthwhile. Passenger pigeonsnce upon a time the passenger pigeon constituted 25 to 40 per cent of the total bird population of the United States. It was estimated that there were 3 to 5 billion passenger pigeons at the time Europeans discovered America. ne large nesting site in Wisconsin was reported as covering 850 square miles and the number of birds nesting there was estimated to be around 136000000. The birds relied on acorn and beech mast for food and shifted their breeding colonies in accordance with the food trees? mast cycle. It was with the decimation of forests that the passenger pigeon was forced to hunt for grain on newly established farms where their large numbers caused considerable crop loss.

riginally the birds would have been sold and then the added entrance fee; however as everyone is feeling the pinch right now this may be a way of interesting more fanciers to participate in the Barcelona Challenge. As you know Joe this is a great opportunity for any British fancier to have a go in the world renowned ‘Barcelona International’. Lou is very good at keeping everyone in touch with their bird’s progress and regular emails etc are sent out as you know. I see your wee team of 3 birds are doing well and now in hard training for this season’s racing which will see the yearling team flown in stages out to Angouleme at 350 miles with the Nord Pas de Calais Federation. As a matter of interest Joe the hen I have from you is now in training and will go to Lessay in a few weeks. I’m off to meet the NFC lorry now and offload 37 crates as we have around 1100 to mark tomorrow at Chichester with an overall entry in excess of 9600 birds for our first National from Fougeres this Saturday. Kindest regards John.
