"A nest of this size can also present a fire risk.
“We filled twelve rubbish bags by the time it was removed and then proofed the old entry point with wire mesh to prevent birds accessing in the future.”
Lancaster City Council Pest Control said on their website: “Pigeons and starlings cause nuisance due to their droppings, which foul washing and buildings and may be a slipping hazard.
"Pigeons in particular are known to carry organisms such as salmonella, which can be transmitted to humans, and all birds carry fleas, mites and lice.
