Do pigeons have good hearing?
Pigeon. Pigeons have incredible hearing and there is some scientific speculation that they use their exceptional ability to hear infrasound as part of their impressive in-built navigation system. Infrasound simply means sound waves with frequencies that fall below what humans can hear.

At a level of 60 dB SPL, their hearing range spanned 8.12 octaves (24.6 Hz–6.86 kHz). Like most birds, they do not hear sounds above 8 kHz.

For most avian species this is around 1 - 4 kHz, but some species are sensitive to lower or higher frequencies (Konishi 1970, Hienz et al. 1977). Pigeons are most sensitive to sound between 1 - 2 kHz, with an absolute upper limit of about 10 kHz

I did do a big post but must not have posted due to Dev posting at same time, basically was saying they have different settings on for different animal frequencies, I have one outside loft use it 24/7 cost around £14 from Lidl has 4 or 5 settings including for fox and a smaller one inside loft does not affect birds on the settings I use

Neil I will see if I can put my hand on the booklet that came with it and try and post some of the info if I can

This is the one from Lidl

Can't say I have read reviews I just purchased and followed instructions, not sure how effective they are as last night I did read on a post when searching for info for you that they become accustomed to the noise over time

I had one of these in my front garden to put cats of crapping in it ,total waste of £26 didnt work for cats

I tried one many years ago. They don't work.
