It is all too easy for some species of birds to become pests, causing damage to property, business and health. In particular, pigeons ( Columba livia ) and many species of gull, including the huge herring gull ( Larus argentatus ), can become serious pests for both urban and rural locations.
The UK government estimates that it costs over £15 billion each year to repair damage, clean up and dispose of the faeces of feral pigeons, with the necessary work in Trafalgar Square alone costing almost £100,000 pa.
