Common pest birds in Edmonton

Here are some of the most common pest birds in Edmonton:

  • Pigeons perch, nest and roost on tall objects or structures. They carry several diseases and leave a heavy build-up of their highly acidic droppings, which can decay roofing and siding.
  • Starlings damage fruit crops and pull up sprouting grains. Moreover, they tend to congregate at livestock feed troughs, contaminating food and water sources.
  • Woodpeckers are notorious for making holes in the sides of buildings and nesting in walls and attics and near outdoor vents.
  • Magpies are resourceful birds that will eat almost anything. They’re loud and can damage landscaping, including flowering bulbs and bird feeders.
  • Sparrows build nests in vents and fixtures on the exterior roofline of structures, clogging drains and gutters.
