Why Bird Control Is a Particular Issue in West Vancouver
West Vancouver's bird control pressure concentrates on Marine Drive's commercial corridor and the Horseshoe Bay BC Ferries terminal area. Marine Drive's Ambleside and Dundarave commercial strips carry pigeon roosting on commercial building ledges. Horseshoe Bay's ferry terminal creates a distinct bird situation — gulls and pigeons concentrate near the terminal food waste and passenger activity, creating a larger bird population in Horseshoe Bay commercial than the residential surroundings would generate.
Older Hollyburn and Dundarave residential from the 1940s to 1960s provides starling and sparrow nesting in aging eave cavities — the same pattern as other Metro Vancouver older residential areas.
West Vancouver's Burrard Inlet position means heron and eagle habitat near the waterfront requires MBCA nesting protection awareness when exclusion work is planned near the shoreline.
