Birds in Markham

 

Toronto is home to many beautiful bird species. There are two primary bird categories: migratory and non-migratory. Non-migratory birds don’t leave for the winter season and will nest in homes or other structures to stay warm and safe. They also build nests in houses when laying eggs in spring. Eaves provide good protection from predators and allow them to watch over chicks while gathering food.

Birds leave messes from their nest-building materials and copious amounts of bird droppings. Their busy routines and dirty habits can make them a nuisance and a health hazard in and around your home. This is why it is so important to seek professional advice when dealing with birds around your house. Skedaddle humane wildlife control specialists are experts in bird removal. We clear away debris and clean up after bird infestations and make sure your home is safe for you and your family.

Markham residents enjoy the beauty of chickadees, cardinals, mourning doves, blue jays and many other birds that make their home in the area. While all birds are messy, sparrows, pigeons and starlings often leave a trail of nesting materials that cover vents and chimneys and present a fire hazard. Birds will nest almost anywhere that suits their needs including soffits, windowsills, roofs, gutters and stovepipes.

A bird flying back and forth with materials in its beak is likely building a nest. You may also notice a significant number of droppings on the ground which is a sign you have an infestation. Waste can pose a serious health risk to humans. Call for professional help to get birds safely removed. Skedaddle technicians understand biology and breeding cycles, and they determine the best time to move bird families from their dwellings. They will then seal points of entry to prevent future intrusions.
