The head and neck are dark gray, while the lower back is white. The paler gray wings feature two distinctive black bars. An adult bird typically measures between 32 and 37 cm in length.<\/p>\n<p>The pigeons commonly found in Quebec live in colonies, with anywhere from five to a hundred individuals roosting in proximity. They congregate near easy food sources, including agricultural zones, food processing plants, warehouses, city parks, storefronts and even suburban apartment buildings. The city of Montreal knows the deal: it\u2019s currently forbidden to feed wild pigeons in parks and public spaces.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; equal_columns=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; el_class=&#8221;Service_Col_Padding Service_Text_Margin&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1736871109905{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2>Are pigeons a health hazard?<\/h2>\n<p>Pigeons can carry pathogens that cause respiratory difficulties and bacterial illnesses.

As a car\u2019s paint warms and cools with temperature fluctuations throughout the day, the laquer moulds itself around drops of bird excrement. The result is a disruption in the smooth finish of the paint job and a dull, textured spot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">How to prevent the damage? Drape your car with a cover or park it in a closed garage. Keep your car waxed and polished; this makes it easier to remove bird waste. Most important, wash away bird droppings immediately so the car\u2019s paint doesn\u2019t have a chance to soften and re-harden around the splash.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1505926959021{background-color: #0055c5 !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;row-call&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][vc_row_inner is_fullwidth_content=&#8221;false&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;SubTitle_Paragraph_Text White_Text&#8221;]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The best way to get rid of pigeons is to bring in an extermination company that knows its stuff.
