Euston Station has enlisted Oscar, a Harris's hawk, to help prevent pigeons from nesting in the station, which had become a significant nuisance for passengers. This initiative aims to ensure a cleaner and more welcoming environment. Network Rail emphasizes that Oscar serves as a humane deterrent, posing no harm to the birds. Since his introduction, there has been a noticeable reduction in pigeon activity, and station managers are pleased with the positive response both from passengers and the cleaner atmosphere that has resulted from Oscar's weekly patrols.
‘We’re always looking for innovative ways to improve the station environment for our passengers, and Oscar is already proving to be a valuable member of the team.’
‘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.’
