Pest Bird Questions:
What are pest birds?
Three species of birds are commonly labeled as “pest birds” in the United States, the Feral Pigeon, the English Starling, and the House Sparrow, all of which are invasive, non native species. Other species such as Grackles, Canadian Geese, Swallows, Cormorants, Seagulls and Crows have been hailed as common pest birds. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife department, “Any bird, a cardinal, chickadee or dove, can become a "problem" when it does something unpleasant. What's unpleasant depends on what the bird is doing, and how you react.”
Aren’t birds protected?
There are currently over 800 species of birds protected under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The Treaty basically prohibits people from pursuing, hunting, taking, capturing, killing or selling protected birds. The statute does not discriminate between live or dead birds and also grants full protection to any bird parts including feathers, eggs and nests.
That being said, it is perfectly legal to use bird deterrents to protect your property from pest birds, as long as you are not harming the bird, or disturbing an active nest.
See a detailed list of birds protected under the Migratory Bird Act provided by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
Do birds carry disease?
Yes, birds do carry over 60 diseases transmittable to humans. Bird roosts and nests can also host ectoparasites, like bird mites.
According to the Center for Disease Control:
“Although birds can spread germs to people, illness caused by touching or owning birds is rare. To best protect yourself from getting sick, thoroughly wash your hands with running water and soap after contact with birds or their droppings.”
People are most at risk when they are constantly being exposed to bird droppings. The CDC notes that some are more susceptible to contracting diseases than others “Some people are more likely than others to get diseases from birds. A person's age and health status may affect his or her immune system, increasing the chances of getting sick. People who are more likely to get diseases from birds include infants, children younger than 5 years old, organ transplant patients, people with HIV/AIDS, and people being treated for cancer.”
