Federal, provincial and municipal government bodies are continually dealing with the impact of problem birds and wildlife on property and people. Large scale bird infestations of starlings, crows, pigeons, geese and gulls cause millions of dollars of property damage and present a monumental health risk. Ranking at the top of health concerns that government bodies need to address is hystaplastmosis. This lung disease can be contracted by inhaling airborne bird feces. Recently, we worked with a municipal government in Ontario to relocate an estimated 2.5 million starlings that were presenting a major health and property risk, in a large urban setting.
City of Toronto
If you see hawks, eagles, or falcons flying around Toronto's City Hall, Nathan Phillips Square, or Lester B. Pearson International Airport, chances are, you are watching Hawkeye's birds of prey at work.
