MINNEAPOLIS BIRD REMOVAL

BIRD REMOVAL PROCESS

With more than 400 bird species native to the state, Minnesota is a prime spot for bird watching. Minneapolis, in particular, is a region with many bird species thanks to its greenspace and abundant sources of water. Birds are beautiful and a joy to watch and admire in nature, but if they are nesting or roosting in your roof or vents, you should contact an expert for bird removal in Minneapolis immediately

Many species of birds have adapted well to city life and can be found in large numbers in Minneapolis. Their activity, especially during the spring nesting season can lead to challenges for home and business owners. Wherever you have birds you have droppings and they can pose health hazards and damage property.

Coexisting With Birds In Minneapolis

Birds are widespread throughout Minneapolis and each species has its own biology, behavior and habits. Some are native to the state and protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act while others are considered invasive species . There are birds that migrate away from Minnesota in the fall and others that tough it out all winter. Most species rarely, if ever, cause any harm to home and business owners but there are some birds that can pose challenges.

When birds congregate around homes, buildings and businesses they can cause all sorts of problems. The key to effective bird management and control is an understanding of the species. They don’t all behave the same and most bird deterrents need to be customized to the specific environment and conditions to be successful.

Types of Birds in Minneapolis

Some of the most common nuisance bird species in Minnesota include:

•   Pigeons
•   Starlings
•   House sparrows
•   Gulls
•   Canada geese

Reasons To Call a Professional for Bird Removal

Nuisance bird problems range in scale and complexity. Smaller birds, like starlings and house sparrows, are well known for nesting in vents, soffits and roofs around homes. They are cavity nesters and seek out gaps and openings, often vents, in homes to nest and raise their young. Though small in stature these birds can cause big headaches for homeowners.

They pack fan vents for bathrooms, kitchens and clothes dryers full of nesting material that can lead to appliance failure and damage as well as fires. They also introduce bird mites into the home, tiny little bugs that feed on the blood of birds and live in their nests.

Geese and gulls prefer wide open expanses like shorelines, parking lots and grassy fields. They can be seen throughout the spring and summer in Minneapolis’ commercial spaces, behaving aggressively toward people and leaving shopping centers and office parks littered with droppings.

Pigeons are a staple of downtowns across North America and the Twin Cities are no exception. Pigeons are year round residents of the area and love to perch high above on the balconies and ledges of tall buildings. Once they have established and imprinted themselves in a certain space their numbers grow and they become more difficult to control. Pigeon droppings stain and damage signage, merchandise and building materials leading to expensive losses for business owners.

Choosing a Humane Removal Option

Each species of bird has its own temperament and habits. Understanding what motivates bird behavior plays a big role in determining an effective removal strategy. No matter the situation it is important for home and business owners to respond quickly to bird intrusion. Acting fast prevents birds from establishing patterns of behavior that once engrained are more difficult to break and reduces the amount of building damage they can cause.

There are many different strategies and products available for removing nesting or birds from in and around homes and businesses.
