Stadttauben im Griff

Understanding Pigeons Population management species-specific and successful Doves, pigeons and people have long had something of a mixed relationship ¬ loved as posties and domestic and useful animals, revered as symbols of peace and love, and hated as filthy vermin, especially in densely populated areas. Yet a peaceful coexistence with pigeons is still possible: if we understand their natural behaviour, then any problems can be solved in a species-specific manner. This book shows you how pigeon populations can be kept at an acceptable level through monitoring, supervised dovecotes, settling and resettling, natural alienation and reduction of brood size through egg swaps. In this way, pigeons will continue to belong to a natural urban avian world that you can find pleasure in.
