Birds are free and they can fly where they want. The world is theirs. They can be nice, otherwise why would people keep them as pets or keep birdbaths in their gardens? However, they can also be pest specially when they eat seeds and plants and poop all over the place. Nobody wants a pest whether it's a pigeon, seagull, sparrow, starling, turkey vulture, crow, or Canadian goose. Not everyone is aware that more than 60 human diseases are related to them and their droppings, and some of them can even be fatal to humans. When they cause damage to your home, they leave ugly stains, cause the structure to deteriorate, and may also lessen the value of your property. So it is very important for using bird control around your home, garden, yards, porches, buildings and greenhouses. As you plan your strategy, remember that pest can be very determined in finding what they want and need. Since they seek out roosts and nesting places where they will feel comfortable and content, you want to make your home and garden unappealing and unwelcoming to them without causing them any harm
