Birds

Problems

Although most people find birds attractive and pleasant, they can present serious problems when not controlled.

Bird droppings are particularly unpleasant, being infested with disease-causing organisms and creating slip hazards

In addition, the droppings are unsightly and can cause serious structural damage to buildings.

Nesting material and feathers ofter contain many insects which can lead to secondary infestations of properties. Birds' cooing and screaching cries, such as those of the seagull, cause major unrest in both inland urban areas and seaside towns.

In addition birds such as sparrows, starlings and pigeons can cause economic losses to food-related businesses by fouling and eating the food products being made or stored.

Diseases

Numerous diseases are carried or cause by birds, from both their bodies and their droppings. Conditions caused by the birds' feathers and dust include ‘pigeon fancier's lung’ (extrinsic alveolitis), ornithosis and psittacosis.

Disease-causing organisms carried by the birds and passed in their droppings or via their feeding on human food stuffs include salmonella spp. Escherichia coli (E coli), Crypotococcus spp., Chlamydia psittaci and Listeria spp,.
