Fighting wood pigeons - can they be stopped?!

Our previously laid back pigeons have now turned into fighting machines and have awoken us at 5:30am the last few mornings with their flapping and hooting. I know it’s a territorial thing (our regular pair successfully raised twin chicks in one of our trees earlier this year), but does anyone know how long they will keep this up for? 

  • As it is probably over territory or partner and pigeons can breed at any season you might have this problem for a while Our local pigeons, Wood Pigeons rather than Feral Pigeons, seem to have taken to doing their squabbling late evenings I don't think there is much that can be done about the problem.
