migratory bird flying
Migratory Birds
Migratory birds, such as herons, egrets, and other nesting birds, bring challenges like noise, odor, and significant amounts of excrement that cover streets, sidewalks, cars, and mailboxes on public or private property. This is definitely something you don't want near your home or business! Concerns about possible health hazards, noise, and odors are the most cited complaints. Homeowners can prevent rookery establishment by thinning their tree canopies to less than 70%. A rookery occurs when large numbers of egrets or herons nest together in a concentrated area. For help thinning your tree canopies, contact a professional tree company. There are also scare tactics homeowners can use to encourage the birds to continue flying. Noisemakers and high-pressure water nozzles aimed at the trees make the trees an undesirable place to nest. Scare-eye balloons or other moving objects work, too.
It's important to prevent a rookery from establishing, because once it does, you cannot legally remove the nests or harass the birds. These birds are federally protected, meaning they can't be harmed! We have more information and resources available by clicking the button below.
