Birds
Many of the bird species in India are good to have around, thanks to their attractive plumage and mesmerising birdsong. However, when a large number of birds flock together in a roosting site, it can lead to serious consequences such as:
-
Contamination of raw materials and finished goods, causing revenue losses.
-
Birds can cause property damage by dislodging roof tiles, blocking guttering system with their nests and leaving droppings that corrode building material.
-
Safety risks to employees and customers – slippery bird droppings may cause slip and fall accidents.
-
Suspension of business and audit failures due to poor hygiene sighted during inspection.
-
Food contamination that may lead to business closure/ suspension by public health authorities.
-
Negative impact on business image and reputation.
-
Awful sight of bird droppings can discourage potential customer from patronising.
-
Bird droppings may fall on customers, resulting in negative reviews from the bad experience and potentially complaints.
-
Birds can become aggressive and attack the employees or customers, especially during their breeding season when they are defending their young.
FACT: One of the reasons why pigeons flock together in large numbers is to protect themselves against predators, such as cats, rats and dogs.
