Pigeon control efforts to be stepped up at 3 neighbourhoods

Pigeon control at three adjacent constituencies will be ramped up over the next six months, with various government agencies and town councils taking more measures to bring down the numbers of wild pigeons there.

The three town council areas were chosen for their high pigeon populations and proximity to each other. The initiative aims to bring pigeon numbers down to manageable levels across the three constituencies. The authorities would not be drawn on what such numbers could look like. He told The Straits Times that coordinating efforts across the different town council areas could enhance the effectiveness of pigeon control initiatives.

“These include ensuring prompt clearance of food waste, trays and dirty crockery at tray return racks and refuse bins. This would help to reduce human-generated food sources which attract pigeons,” the statement said. With access to food sources being a major factor influencing pigeon populations, the authorities said they will increase efforts to limit the birds’ access to these sources.
