What all are those innocent looking birds doing in Schools?
Birds are one of the most beautiful creatures in our ecosystem. They often mesmerize us with their beauty but there are certain bird problems associated with them which can be harmful for human beings and this gives rise to the need of effective bird problem solutions.
Pest birds such as Pigeons are often found in schools and institutes because they are excellent nurturing and residing places for large number of pigeons, away from any disturbance. They provide all of the critical and essential materials required for pigeon survival and reproduction including food, water, nesting and loafing sites.
Lets have a look at some of the major problems Created by Pigeons at Schools-:
· Pigeon droppings can be extremely harmful for the students in the school. Children generally have a weak immune system, so the risk of being contaminated with external parasites is even higher. The most serious health risks arise from disease causing organisms that grow in the toxic accumulations of bird droppings, feathers and debris.
· Schools are public places and many people visit regularly. The bird droppings which are an unsightly mess that can be difficult to remove can cause slip and fall accidents which can turn fatal in public places like schools. Pigeon faeces on school floors pose the risk of slip/slide/fall to running children.
· The air conditioning units in schools often become a breeding place for pigeons and are a main source of pigeon problems. The air conditioning units often release foul smells which can be difficult to handle. Moreover the ventilation spaces on roofs of buildings that are heavily contaminated with faeces push particulate faecal matter directly in to classrooms.
· Pigeons foraging for food and water on top of lunch tables often defecate there putting their faecal matter in close proximity to children food, drinks and snacks. This can cause serious diseases in children as the pigeon shit is a breeding ground for pathogens.
· Children studying in pre nursery and nursery often have a habit of putting their hands in their mouths thus increasing the chance of being contaminated with parasites present in the faecal matter of pigeons.
· Pigeon droppings, feathers, carcasses, nest materials etc often cause blockage of flat roof drains and the blockage of drains lead to roof flooding and collapse because of excess water accumulation on the roof.
· Drinking fountains which are often attached to outside walls of school buildings directly below pipes and roof edges are defecated by pigeons creating a direct health hazard.
· Pigeons often enter the classrooms at schools through open doors and windows and create nuisance in the classrooms which can distract the students and disrupt the learning environment.
· Odours emanating from piles of pigeon droppings sometimes enter classrooms when windows close to roofs are opened.
· Pigeon faecal matter can lead to short circuits which can be really dangerous in a public school where thousands of students study.
