📋 Tender Overview
London Euston Has Welcomed A Feathery New Member Of The Station Team In Oscar, A Harris Hawk. Oscar Will Visit London Euston Once A Week Over The Next Few Months With His Handler At Varying Times To Carry Out Pigeon Patrols Aimed At Deterring Pigeons From Setting Up Home At The Station. Although Oscar Has Visited Euston Before As Part Of His Familiarisation Training, This Marks His First Official Flight At The Station. Pigeons Have Become A Persistent Issue At The Station, Often Roosting, Nesting, And Feeding In Areas Used By Passengers. Oscar Provides A Humane Solution, He DoesnT Harm The Birds But Acts As A Natural Deterrent. His Presence Alone Is Enough To Discourage Pigeons From Settling In, Helping To Create A Cleaner, Safer Environment For Everyone Using The Station. The Timings And Locations Of OscarS Flights Over The Next Few Months Will Vary, This Is So The Pigeons Can Spot Him In A Variety Of Locations To Avoid The Station As A Whole As Opposed To A Specific Area. When The Pigeons See Him In A Certain Location, It Convinces Them That A Bird Of Prey Resides In The Area, Therefore Making The Area Less Inviting For Nesting And Feeding. As The Hawk Flies Above The Area, The Pigeons Become Disturbed And Fly Into The Sky. The Station Team Have Already Noticed A Decrease In The Amount Of Pigeons In The Station Proving Oscar Effective At Keeping Pigeons At Bay. Matt Ferguson, Senior Station Interface Manager For London Euston Said: OscarS Handler, Falconer Adel Letchford, Said: Have A Look Out For Oscar Next Time You Are In Euston And Give Him A Wave!
