Pooping pigeons prove problematic for properties with solar panels

Pigeons are known for their ability to find their way home, but the numbers taking up residence underneath solar panels are causing a headache for property owners.
Key points:
- Pigeons are flocking to the suburbs and nesting underneath solar panels
- Droppings from the introduced species can impact the efficacy of the panels
- Their nests and faeces can also clog drains and attract mice and cockroaches
Ivan Cindric, who runs a company that cleans and pigeon-proofs solar panels across Brisbane, says the opportunistic birds are flocking to the suburbs to breed.
“Seven years ago we pigeon-proofed three properties over the course of a year and now we service two to six homes every single day,” Mr Cindric told ABC Radio Brisbane.
