Feral Pigeons (commonly misspelt pidgeon) are descended from Rock Doves which used to inhabit coastal areas. With the development of large towns and cities this opportunist bird has moved away from the coast to nest inland.

Seagulls can be a nuisance bird creating constant noise and mess outside of their natural coastal habitat. They are a large bird and during the breeding season can become very aggressive with attacks on humans not uncommon.
Like Pigeons, there is both a health risk from their droppings and nesting materials and the danger of damage to buildings.
Bird proofing systems involve a number of proactive measures to deter these problem birds. Bird netting, bird points and sprung pin and wire systems can all be employed to ensure the problem species are not able to cause problems on or around the protected building.
