Psycho pigeons wrecked a flat after departing tenants left a patio door open.<\/p>\n
The messy birds managed to flutter their way into the house through a partially open patio door, and proceeded to take over every room in the house.<\/p>\n
Over the course of the next few weeks, the birds splattered every room with poop, with the worst hit being the living room and kitchen.<\/p>\n

Pest control experts said the flat resembled the island of Roca Partida in Mexico \u2013 aka "bird poo island".<\/p>\n
The tiny uninhabited island is almost completely white due to the sheer amount of "bird guano" from nesting brown booby, sooty tern and brown noddy birds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The kitchen was covered in mess, with drying rack stacked with clothes splattered, and the toaster, kettle, worktop and floor.<\/p>\n
The living room was a "sight to behold" according to pest control bosses, with the sofas, carpet and telly all victims to the pesky birds.<\/p>\n
The landlord \u2013 who didn\u2019t want to be named \u2013 called experts at the London Network for Pest Solutions after his eyes "popped out of his head" when he saw the extent of the mess at the two-bed flat in East London.<\/p>\n

The clean-up operation means the landlord \u2013 who admitted that he should have checked the property after it was vacated \u2013 will be a whopping \u00a315,000 out of pocket.<\/p>\n
Paul Cooper, the MD of London Network for Pest Solutions, said this week: "The landlord took one peek inside and called us immediately.<\/p>\n
"The pigeons had redecorated throughout leaving the home in a complete mess.<\/p>\n
"It took the pigeons just four weeks to wreck the place."<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He said the firm\u2019s pigeon expert had to put on a protective suit and two masks to mask the "overwhelming stench" adding: "Our pigeon surveyor was sent in suited and booted.<\/p>\n
"He said the stench was overwhelming and he had to double mask using both a dustmask and a PureFlo mask [and air purifying respirator]."<\/p>\n
Asked about the cost, he said it would cost around \u00a315,000, adding: "The property will be out of action for the best part of a month, whilst it is cleared, cleaned, redecorated and refurnished."<\/p>\n
