Pigeon : What you need to know
Identifying Characteristics
- Pigeons measure around 11 – 14 inches with a wingspan of 20 – 26 inches and weighing around 9 – 13 ounces
- They have a dark blue-gray head, neck and chest with glossy green and red-purple iridescence around the neck and wing feathers, and white lower back feathers
- They have 2 distinctive black wing stripes
- The feral pigeon is found almost exclusively in areas of human habitation
Active Season
- Pigeon mating may occur during all seasons, but peak reproduction occurs in the Spring and Fall
Interesting Facts
- Because pigeons have monocular vision rather than binocular vision they bob their heads for depth of perception
- The pigeon can see color in the same way that humans do but they can also see ultraviolet, a part of the spectrum that humans cannot see
Cause for Concern
- Pigeons are widely considered to be the #1 bird nuisance across the United States
- Their droppings deface and accelerate the deterioration of buildings and increase the cost of maintenance
- They can carry and spread diseases to people and livestock through their droppings
