The Problem Birds

Persistent species. Real damage.
Regional expertise required.

The Lubbock–Amarillo corridor faces unique bird pressure driven by West Texas's agricultural landscape, open terrain, and major migratory flyways. These species are well-established in the region, and they respond to our methods.

Blackbirds
Euphagus spp. / Agelaius phoeniceus
West Texas is major migratory and wintering territory for several blackbird species including Brewer's Blackbirds and Red-winged Blackbirds. They congregate in massive roosts — sometimes numbering in the hundreds of thousands — overwhelming feedlots, grain facilities, commercial properties, and urban areas with noise, droppings, and agricultural damage.
  • Enormous roost populations create overwhelming contamination at scale
  • Significant agricultural and grain facility damage during migration seasons
  • Droppings carry Histoplasma — a serious airborne fungal health risk
  • Noise and presence deters customers and employees from commercial areas
Common Grackle
Quiscalus quiscula
Grackles thrive in the urban and suburban environments of Lubbock and Amarillo, forming large resident flocks year-round. They are especially problematic for retail properties, parking lots, outdoor dining, and any facility near food waste — descending in numbers that make the problem impossible to ignore.
  • Year-round flocking in Lubbock and Amarillo commercial areas
  • Heavy dropping accumulation on parking lots, entries, and signage
  • Aggressive behavior near food sources alarms customers and staff
  • Rapid population growth without active deterrence programs
Pigeon
Columba livia
Pigeons are year-round residents across both Lubbock and Amarillo, nesting on commercial building ledges, grain elevator structures, warehouse rooftops, and loading docks. Their persistence, breeding rate, and acidic droppings make them one of the most costly nuisance species for West Texas property owners.
  • Chronic nesting on ledges, rooftops, and grain facility structures
  • Droppings on walkways and entries create slip-and-fall liability
  • Rapid breeding — a pair can produce up to six broods per year
  • Associated with over 60 diseases — a health and compliance concern
West Texas Context

The Lubbock–Amarillo region presents bird challenges unlike anywhere else in Texas

West Texas's unique combination of agricultural density, flat open terrain, and major migratory flyways creates bird pressure at a scale that outpaces most standard control methods. The region sits directly in the path of major North American blackbird migration routes, meaning seasonal infestations can arrive rapidly and in extraordinary numbers. Our methods are proven effective in exactly these conditions.

  • Major migratory flyway - seasonal blackbird populations can be enormous
  • Agricultural operations attract and sustain large year-round populations
  • Open terrain means birds range widely - requiring broad coverage strategies
  • Grain elevators, feedlots, and co-ops face industry-specific compliance risks
  • Urban growth in Lubbock and Amarillo brings birds into commercial corridors

Our Methods

A full toolkit of humane methods.
Matched to your property.

We assess your Lubbock or Amarillo property and recommend the right approach, or combination, for your specific bird species, population size, and facility type. No poisons. No guesswork.

Flagship Method
Birds of Prey Abatement
Our most effective long-term solution, and uniquely well-suited to the open terrain and large-scale properties of West Texas. Trained birds of prey establish natural predator territory across your property, triggering instinctual fear responses in blackbirds, grackles, and pigeons that no artificial deterrent can replicate. Effective across large commercial footprints, agricultural facilities, and urban properties alike. Zero chemicals. Zero installation.
Supporting Method — 01
Non-Poison Live Trapping
For properties facing large established pigeon populations, live trapping in conjunction with trained birds of prey delivers rapid, humane population reduction with no poisons or toxicants of any kind. Safe for use near agricultural operations, food facilities, and livestock.
Supporting Method — 02
Hand Netting
For birds roosting in confined or interior spaces: grain elevator structures, warehouse rafters, building cavities, hand netting provides targeted, precise removal without disrupting your operations. Effective for pigeons and grackles in hard-to-reach locations that trapping and hawk abatement alone cannot fully address.
The Cost of Inaction

Bird populations in West Texas
grow faster than most expect

Without an active control program, blackbird and pigeon populations establish quickly and compound season over season. Here's what unmanaged bird activity costs Lubbock and Amarillo property owners.

Agricultural & grain facility damage
Blackbirds and pigeons cause direct grain consumption and contamination losses at feedlots, grain elevators, and co-ops. In West Texas, the scale of migratory flocking makes this a significant seasonal financial exposure.
Health & liability exposure
Blackbird and pigeon droppings are associated with Histoplasma and over 60 other transmissible diseases. Accumulation on walkways, loading areas, and public spaces creates real slip-and-fall and health liability for property owners.
Property & equipment damage
Acidic droppings corrode rooftop equipment, metal structures, and building facades. Nesting materials block gutters, drains, and ventilation systems — maintenance costs that escalate with every season of inaction.
Customer & tenant impact
Visible bird problems drive customers away from retail and commercial properties. In Lubbock and Amarillo's growing commercial corridors, a reputation for bird-related conditions affects foot traffic, tenant retention, and property value.
