A May 2026 feature in The Telegraph titled "The city that put pigeons on the pill" put a global question on the UK's desk. Cities across Europe are moving away from killing pigeons and toward humane bird contraception, with Barcelona running more than 40 dispensers that quietly cut local pigeon numbers without traps, nets, or poisons. The UK is paying attention. But it has not moved.
After spending over a quarter million dollars and battling pigeons for more than a decade, Fresno County has finally found their answer: OvoControl.
This remarkable success story demonstrates exactly why humane bird control isn't just the ethical choice, it's the most effective one.
Urban environments face unique challenges when it comes to managing pest populations. The OvoControl® Urban Feeder is our latest innovation in outdoor equipment, designed for permanent installation in public spaces such as parks, plazas, parking lots and other hard or paved surfaces where pigeons tend to gather.
