Frequently Asked Questions

The hawks fly up, catch the pigeon, and fly back down to the handler with the pigeon alive. All of the hawk's work is done at night using flashlights.

Our main challenge with getting new clients is the lack of awareness of our company. We are so new, many people don't quite understand what we do. They are also curious to know if what we do actually works. But we have worked with many residential and commercial clients.

Everyone thinks that the hawk only scares the pigeons. This does not work and is very ineffective to use a hawk in this manner.

You will have a cleaner property, which brings your property value up. There will be no spikes, or nets, poisons, or noise makers on the property to pull away from the building's aesthetic. Both our methods of removal are natural and humane, with no poisons or birds in cages.

We operate in rural, urban, residential, commercial, and industrial areas. We have completed jobs for 1,000-acre solar farms, colleges, single-family homes, commercial buildings in Phoenix, and even power plants for APS.

Desert Kings Falconry does service single-home residences. Pigeons commonly infest the houses of home owners and can cause thousands of dollars in damages. Each individual home is different and will need to be assessed before services can begin. If you schedule a consultation with us, we can accurately assess your property.

Solar solutions are for customers that have those stubborn pigeons living under their solar panels and making huge messes on or around them.

Desert Kings Falconry uses the one tool that will rid solar panels of their pigeon issues... pneumatic air cannons. This equipment is specially made for bird removal companies, and Desert Kings Falconry is one of the first companies to implement this method of removal in the state of Arizona. It is a safe and extremely effective form of pigeon removal, with the equipment being no louder than the snap of your finger. Do you want your pigeons gone? DKF can help you with that issue.

Please feel free to email Travis@desertkingsfalconry.com or call 623-687-0244 with your issue and any pictures of your pigeon issue.

Desert Kings Falconry uses two unconventional methods of removal. Both methods of removal are used during the night time hours. Why night? This allows us to accurately remove the pigeons that are living/nesting on your property. We do not want to remove the pigeons coming from down the road, we want to remove the pigeons living on your home/property.

Pigeons are not native wildlife to the United States. They are an invasive species of bird that are competing with our native wildlife. Pigeons also cause and transmit 30+ diseases that humans can and will pick up if not treated properly. This can be a major health concern for individuals over 65, or with already occurring health issues. Their droppings are also corrosive to metals. Many pigeons nest under A/C units for both commercial and residential properties. The feces will eat away at the metals supporting these units and can cause massive damage and repairs to the equipment. Our job is to remove these birds and save these properties from having to spend thousands on repairs.

Compared to our competitors, we are the only company in the state of AZ that offers the use of hawks and air cannons. We take a very active approach to removing unwanted pigeons, the only approach that works. Can we promise 100% removal? Of course not, but we can offer a method of removal that is effective in the short game and the long game without having to place spikes or netting on your property.

As long as the sun is down and visibility is low for the pigeons, our hawks and technician are out and working.

The hawks cannot see at night. Their vision is about as good as the average human at night. They are trained from a young age to follow a spotlight that is carried by the handler. Once a pigeon is found, the handlers give the hawk a physical queue to launch and catch the unsuspecting pigeon.

Of course not. This equipment is specially made for bird control companies. It is no louder than the snap of your finger. It is safe for your home, solar panels, and nearby neighbors.

We encourage our clients to come and watch us give a demo. This is an opportunity to be amazed by the work that our well-trained techs or handlers have to offer. Whether it is a hawk or an air cannon, everyone will walk away impressed.
