“Planned Pigeon-hood”

Pigeon Biology Clutch: 1 to 3 eggs Breeding season: Year round Diet: Seeds, Fruits, Pizza Feeding: Flocks Territories: Soft boundaries Sex: Look identical Juveniles: Look like adults Life expectancy: 2-4 years in urban areas

Pigeon Mitigation Techniques Short-term Effective Removal – trap, shoot, poison Harassment, effigies, noise Repellents – goo Long-term Ineffective Most visual, sound or tactile devices or harassment Removal - trap, shoot, poison Effective Habitat modification Nets, spikes, electrical strips Contraception

OvoControl ® P (Brand of nicarbazin) Nicarbazin registered by FDA for use in chickens OvoControl registered by EPA for resident geese, ducks and pigeons Bite size, extruded kibbles Supported by HSUS, PETA and ASPCA

OvoControl Program Use automatic feeder Establish baiting site(s) – pre-bait birds Feed on rooftops or other flat surface Evaluate bait acceptance Condition birds to the daily feeding routine

Non-Target Species Birds Same effect in all birds No secondary effect in raptors All other – No Effects Mammals, dogs Children Amphibians Reptiles Fish Insects Worms Plants

Field Efficacy of OvoControl  OvoControl will interfere with ~95% of eggs if bird consumes the bait 1  Field data shows 53% population reduction within 12 months 2, 3  Field data shows 88% reduction over 28 months 3 1 Barbato, Freedom Co, Spl., Rimini, Italy, San Diego field study, 2010

Population Attrition of Pigeons With Contraception Key Metrics: Life span = 2.5 years Breeding cycle = 6x/year
