Feral pigeon
Grey body with iridescent neck, variable colouring. Common everywhere.
Behaviour
Roosts on ledges, signage, solar panels, awnings. Heavy guano accumulation damages roofs and corrodes solar panels.
How they get into Melbourne homes
Builds nests on the structure rather than entering.
DIY options
Plastic spike on a small, low ledge if installed tight - generally not effective.
When to call a professional
For solar arrays, signage, or commercial facades - proper netting/post-and-wire install.
