Oh No! You Have A Pigeon Trapped In Wall
Just as it is the case with any other type of pest, when you have a pigeon trapped in wall it may be the worst case scenario. It is not wise to ignore the problem because having a pigeon (or any other animal for that matter) die in your wall can make your home not the most pleasant place to be. The stench from a dead pigeon can spread fast and it can also cost a lot more money to find and clean later. So how do you remove a pigeon once it has been trapped inside the walls of your property? It takes patience and know-how.
First you must identify the location where the pigeon went in. That location may not be close to where the pigeon is, and that could make removal more difficult. If it is close by, then you could try to make some noise to try to scare the pigeon trapped in wall away. If the entrance to the wall is far, then the problem is that if you cut your wall open the pigeon may simply move to another location. You should make a hole in the wall that is close to the pigeon and be as quiet as possible, then bait the pigeon out of there with bird seed. You may also make a hole that will allow you get a net in and scoop the bird out.
