A customer called me the other day and said she thought she had a dead "little" bird in her duct work.   When asked how she knew, she said that there was a pretty nasty smell and every so often "...a small puff of feathers would come out of the vent".  Well, besides the obvious issue of how did the birds get into a closed system, dead birds are nasty to clean and could present health hazards.  Upon further inspection, we found the 1 dead "little" bird with 3 of his closest feathered friends (also expired), then the fun started.  Yes, not only were there 4 dead ones in there, but 3 alive and kicking pigeons as well!  They were happy to be sprung out of birdy prison but not happy to come with me!**

As I have said in past blogs, always call a LICENSED professional to take care of your in home issues - not only did we remove the flying (and not so flying...)critters, but we identified problems with the attic (not properly sealed) and the HVAC system to be fixed by the home owner.  Yes, we may be DUCTZ, but we remove ALL birds!

**Management note:  No birds were harmed in the making of this blog!

Bird droppings are very nasty - the only thing going for her was that it is an A/C system, not a swamp cooler - that moisture would not have been good in the system.

When I get to heaven, I think one of the questions on my list of 'why God' will be about pigeons.  They seem to be nothing but a big mess.

I have been told it is also very difficult to sell a home that has a lot of pigeons hanging out.  They are a mess, and can be carriers of some pretty bad disease.
