MBTA addresses pigeon droppings

The MBTA is facing a pigeons problem at its stations, with birds congregating and causing messes, especially at Tufts Medical Center station. Existing measures such as spikes and netting are ineffective against these birds, prompting the agency to explore new solutions, including hiring falconry professionals to deter pigeons with raptors. A pilot program involving bird relocation and predator deployment is imminent, drawing inspiration from other transit systems like San Francisco's BART, where hawks have successfully reduced pigeon presence. Authorities aim to address infrastructure damage and health concerns while managing the bird population humanely.
