Birds
In the Portland area, the four types of birds that we deal with are; the European Starling, the House Sparrow, Pigeons, and Woodpeckers. The European Starling, the House Sparrow, and the common Pigeon all have notorious records for taking up residence in attics, usually through an open window eave, or an open attic vent.
Starlings are the most common attic nuisance, followed by pigeons, and lastly the House Sparrow. The droppings that these birds leave behind can cause serious health effects, especially if they become disturbed and airborne. The three of these birds are all considered non-native species, as they were introduced from other places and compete with the native birds that Oregon has to offer.

Woodpeckers can also be a nuisance, often by waking up the residents
with loud and fast pecking (drumming) on the side of their house.
Woodpeckers can also cause serious damage to the property, especially
to houses with stucco siding. Early spring is the typical time that
Woodpeckers cause problems, as they are drumming for a mate and marking
out their territory.
Birthing habits vary among the birds listed here, but often result in 2-3 (up to 5) broods (hatchings) per year, and 2-7 young per brood.
We provide many services for birds including, but not limited to, eviction and removal of birds from attics, installing "bird spike" on roofs to prevent landing and roosting, installing sonic bird repellents or other devices to keep Woodpeckers away, and just about anything else on both private and commercial levels.
