Oscar, a Harris hawk, has started visiting London Euston weekly for 'pigeon patrols' to deter pigeons from nesting and feeding in the station. This method provides a humane solution as Oscar doesn't harm the pigeons, but rather his presence alone discourages them. The hawk's patrols will vary in timing and location to ensure pigeons avoid the entire area. The station team has already observed a decrease in pigeons, indicating Oscar's effectiveness in creating a more pleasant environment for passengers.
Oscar provides a humane solution, he doesn't harm the birds but acts as a natural deterrent. His presence alone is enough to discourage pigeons from settling in, helping to create a cleaner, safer environment for everyone using the station.
The timings and locations of Oscar's flights over the next few months will vary, this is so the pigeons can spot him in a variety of locations to avoid the station as a whole as opposed to a specific area.
The station team have already noticed a decrease in the amount of pigeons in the station proving Oscar effective at keeping pigeons at bay.
Oscar has taken to Euston like a pro: cool, calm, and already ruffling a few pigeon feathers. It's brilliant to see how quickly he's made an impact...
When the pigeons see him in a certain location, it convinces them that a bird of prey resides in the area, therefore making the area less inviting for nesting and feeding.
