Do Not Feed the Pigeons - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Discourage people from feeding pigeons in urban areas, parks, squares, and around buildings. Feeding pigeons can lead to overpopulation, aggressive behaviour, excessive droppings, property damage, and the spread of disease, making public spaces less safe and sanitary. The sign helps maintain cleanliness, reduce nuisance behaviour, and protect both people and the birds’ natural habits.

Using this sign helps manage public behaviour and promote responsible interaction with urban wildlife. By informing visitors and residents that feeding pigeons is prohibited, it reduces incidents of aggressive birds, prevents damage to buildings and monuments, and discourages pigeons from becoming dependent on human-provided food. It also supports councils, property managers, and local authorities in enforcing regulations designed to control bird populations and maintain public hygiene.

Placement of the sign is critical for effectiveness. It should be installed in areas where pigeons commonly gather or are fed, such as public squares, outdoor seating areas, parks, building ledges, shopping streets, and transport hubs. Signs should be positioned at eye level, near entrances, seating, or high-traffic areas, ensuring visitors see the message before they have the opportunity to feed the birds.

Additionally, displaying a Do Not Feed the Pigeons sign promotes a culture of public hygiene and urban wildlife management. It educates the public on the consequences of feeding pigeons, helps reduce nuisance behaviour, protects property and public spaces, and ensures safer, cleaner environments for everyone. Consistent signage reinforces local regulations and supports broader urban wildlife control strategies.
