New York is full of wildlife, including snakes, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and more. Wildlife removal is a complex field. I recommend professional Harrison wildlife control services if you want to solve a critter problem legally and correctly. For example, we specialize in animals in the attic, which have broken into the house and almost always have a nest of baby animals. It is necessary to perform correct preventative repairs to keep pest animals a out of your house for good. We perform full building inspection, do the the repairs and we also offer attic decontamination if necessary. Rats and mice love to live in attics, and can chew wires or leave droppings. Some Harrison animals frequently enter homes, and correct removal is not a simple task.
DOG or CAT: If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local
Westchester County Animal Control
for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, vaccinations, licenses,
pet adoption, lost pets, and more. If you have a wildlife problem, you can try calling the Westchester County animal control, and see what they have to
say, but they will certainly not help you with a complex wildlife problem such as critters in your attic. They are a free government agency that
helps with dog and cat issues only.

Harrison Wildlife Tip:
Biology of Pigeon: Appearance, biology, life cycle, habitat, diet, behavior
Pigeons (Columba livia) are part of the bird family Columbidae, which includes over 310 species. They are wildly considered to be pest birds, their ability to adapt to their environment have led to overpopulation in most cities.
Appearance:
Pigeons range in appearance, the feral rock pigeon being the one that is found most commonly. There are twelve sub-species of rock pigeons.
The adult reaches a size of between 29 - 30 cm (11 - 15 inches) long with a 62 - 72 cm (24 - 28 inch) wingspan. They have a stout body, short neck and a small head. Their short legs end in three claws. They are usually grey in color, often with blue-grey heads, necks and chests, and iridescent plumage around their necks. They have black bands on their wing feathers as well as on their tails. Due to the frequent occurrence of cross breeding between different types of pigeons, the plumage differs. The male and female pigeons are almost identical in appearance, the most noticeable difference being that the iridescence is less apparent on the chest of the female. Their eyes are usually orange in color. Their average weight is 369g (16 ounces).
Biology:
In less densely populated areas, pigeons build their nests in the branches of tree while in cities they build nests in openings of buildings or any small space where they can roost. They build nests out of sticks, grass and twigs. They are monogamous, meaning that they have only one mate. The female lays 1 or 2 eggs at a time, the eggs are incubated by both parents and take between 17 and 19 days to hatch. Once hatched, the baby birds are fed pigeon milk, a substance that is secreted in the crops of both the male and female birds. The squabs are dependent on their parents until they are about 30 days old.
Life cycle:
Pigeons can breed any time of year, but they are at their peak during summer. Two eggs are laid and incubated by both parents. Before the fledglings leave the nest, more eggs will be laid. Pigeons in captivity have been known to live up to 15 years, but due to predators pigeons in the wild seldom live more than three or four years.
Habitat:
Pigeons are highly adaptable birds and they are found anywhere where they are able to obtain food, thus they are more prevalent in urban areas.
Diet:
Pigeons are primarily herbivores, but due to the changing population growth, they have also become scavengers that will eat what is available to them.
Behavior:
As pigeons are reliant on people for food, they tend to stay close to areas that are densely populated, although they tend to be cautious of people, they quickly become comfortable around. They can, however, be domesticated and are regarded as one of the most intelligent species of birds.
