Pigeon problems in Mumbai: droppings, nesting and bird netting
Pigeons nest on balconies, window ledges and AC units across Mumbai. Their droppings are messy and corrosive, and can attract other pests.
- Netting and anti-perch solutions keep birds out without harming them.
- Clean droppings carefully — wear a mask and gloves.
- Most nesting happens on balconies, ledges, ducts and AC outdoor units.
Signs to look for
- Nests, feathers and droppings on balconies, ledges and AC units.
- Cooing and flapping early in the morning.
- Stains and damage on walls, railings and parked vehicles.
Why they come — and why it matters
- Ledges, ducts and gaps give shelter; feeding nearby keeps them coming back.
- Droppings stain and corrode surfaces and can block drains.
- Dried droppings and feathers have been linked to respiratory problems, so regular contact is best avoided.
What you can do at home
- Don't feed pigeons near your home.
- Remove nesting material before eggs are laid.
- Clean droppings when damp, wearing a mask and gloves, then disinfect.
- Cover gaps around AC units and ducts.
When to call a professional
- Pigeons keep returning to your balcony or windows.
- You want to use your balcony again.
- Your society has a problem in ducts, terraces or common areas.
