| | | Bats and Pigeons
Does anyone know if bats and pigeons happily share the same barn? I visited a large barn recently where there were lots of pigeons and an impressive carpet of pigeon poo  ! There were undoubtedly opportunites for bat but would the bats take them? Any help/thoughts much appreciated. |

I doubt that pigeons would be a problem to bats, Bats usually nestle into all of the little gaps and holes in the area out of harms way and they dont compete for food. |

Agree with Dogghound. And there is even an apparently reliable report of someone shooting a pigeon and finding a bat clinging to it!!

There are bats in an old mausoleum in one of our graveyard that share their home with swallows in the summer. I don't think bats would harm birds anyway - too big, well not the type we get in the U.K.

No reason at all the 2 couldn't share the same building, I've been in alot of old buildings obviously frequented by both bats & pigeons. | | |
