Good Behavioural Understanding

Physically protecting buildings and structures from perching, roosting and nesting will only be successful if undertaken with a good understanding of the natural behaviour of the particular birds causing the problem.

Apart from its humaneness, the big advantage of combating bird problems by physical proofing is its long-term sustainability. However, the fact that birds remain alive means they can seek to overcome the protection or relocate within the immediate area.

It is, consequently, vital to appreciate that solutions effective for one species of bird will not necessarily be appropriate for another. Larger and more robust gulls, for instance, need a fundamentally different approach to agile and more persistent pigeons, which need to be treated quite differently from smaller and more manoeuvrable sparrows.

Equally, the type and extent of proofing required will depend on the level of pressure exerted by the birds in question which, in turn, depends on precisely how they are using the locations.

A number of key aspects of bird behaviour need to be taken into account in planning and maintaining the most effective management programmes: Feeding, Nesting, Roosting, Loafing, Look Out Perching, Displacement and Adaptability.
