We offer an affordable pigeon removal services in Calgary and nearby area. The common or domestic pigeon (Columia livia) was developed from the European rock dove and brought to North America as a domesticated bird. Many escaped and feral (wild) populations have since developed. As these birds are not native to North America they are not protected under the Migratory Birds Convention Act or under Alberta’s Wildlife Act. The common pigeon might be confused with protected species of native doves but the doves do not have the pigeon’s fan-shaped tail. Domestic pigeons can be feral pigeons by numbered bands on the domestic birds’ legs. The typical pigeon is grey and white with two black bars on the secondary wing feathers and a broad black band on the tail. The feet are red. The average length of this bird is about 28 cm. Pigeons breed throughout the year with peak reproduction in the spring and summer. The nests are built on roofs, ledges and in gutters. Pigeons nest and roost on the highest protected places available.
