Bird cages & pigeon houses

Standard methods of bird control are not suitable for large areas. We provide the following:  
  • Bird cages for small numbers of birds that has settled in the area affected.  
  • If there are one or more flocks of birds, we recommend the AUGSBURG Model Pigeon House.
  • Swallows require special protection. Swallow Towers offer the animals an attractive alternative to halls or house walls.

The important characteristics of bird cages

  • The birds are lured into the bird cage with decoys and feed, caught and resettled. We use specially developed bird cages that comply with all animal protection legislation.
  • Bird cages are set up at a prominent point in the area or in a building (hall).
  • Decoy pigeons attract wild pigeons into the cage.
  • For the time until they are removed the birds find enough feed and water. The cages have enough space for the birds to remain for a longer time. The traps have to be emptied daily to comply with animal protection legislation.
  • The cage remains the property of the customer and can be reused at all times.  
  • The trapped birds are taken away in accordance with animal protection legislation.
  • Bird cages are suitable for medium to heavy populations of birds.

Bird cages be mounted on the roof if possible

   
Pros
  • Nearly all of the birds are caught.
  • Quick success
  • Manageable costs
  • Can be installed everywhere due to low space requirement of 2m2
  • The cage remains the property of the customer and can be reused if new birds arrive.
Cons
  • Regular servicing necessary (cleaning, disinfecting, emptying).
  • A bird cage must be centrally positioned on a roof (e.g. flat roof) and the required area reserved.

The important characteristics of pigeon houses

If the area is heavily populated by pigeons, we offer the wild pigeons an attractive home with a pigeon house. During the houses’ regular cleanings some eggs are removed and replaced by dummies. This leads to a reduction of the pigeon population in the long-term.  

This so-called AUGSBURG Model is tried and tested. It is not only in accordance with the animal protection regulations, but also highly effective in the long-term.

  • Bird cages are set up at a prominent point in the area or in a building.
  • Decoy pigeons attract wild pigeons into the cage.
  • The birds are regularly supplied with feed and veterinary care.
  • The pigeon cage is regularly cleaned and tested for pigeon ticks and bird fleas carried out.
  • Pigeon houses are suitable for medium to heavy populations of birds.

SWALLOW HOUSES / SWALLOW TOWERS

Swallows require special protection. They have been part of our culture for thousands of years and have got used to living with humans. If the swallows have become a problem due to droppings on houses and halls etc, we provide a bird-friendly alternative with our swallow houses
