Two women say their lives are being made a misery by hundreds of pigeons who have been attracted to solar roof panels. They say the birds are nesting and causing havoc at their homes.
Jane Rice and Janet Holland say the flapping birds are ruining their lives ever since solar panels were installed at the social housing scheme where they live. The panels have been laid on roofs of homes on the street during the coronavirus pandemic.
The birds are being such a nuisance that Miss Rice said she has been forced to move bedrooms so she can sleep at night. It is commonly known that pigeons are attracted to roof solar panels because of the warmth they can provide. This makes it an ideal place for them to nest and stay for long periods, Derbyshire Live reports.
