Peaky001 on March 2, 2026 1:22 am Let the kids swim in it for a bit, their pee will counteract any leftover pigeon diseases
notasthenameimplies on March 2, 2026 1:23 am It’s only a pigeon. Your average dog swimming would be worse. In fact tge average toddler would be.
dr_duck_od on March 2, 2026 1:24 am dont worry about it ? not like it landed in your drinking water. id trust the pool chemicals to do their thing.
AussieEquiv on March 2, 2026 1:25 am Chlorine is basically strong bleach. Bleach will kill any unwanted bacteria. No need to throw out the pool net.
Background_Judge5563 on March 2, 2026 1:27 am A dead pigeon is cleaner than a live pigeon. If there’s chlorine in there I wouldn’t be worried.
birdsmell on March 2, 2026 1:28 am Are you sure it didn’t die because it drowned in there? Would there have been any way for it to get out if it fell in and got waterlogged?
elliejayde96 on March 2, 2026 1:33 am I’m pretty sure a dead pigeon didn’t land in your pool. A live pigeon landed in your pool, couldn’t get out & died. https://www.pestrol.com.au/buy-online/animal-pool-lifesaver/?srsltid=AfmBOopLn6d13GmAaXg4RJAqwmb2OWQFYi-R8Lzk7c31q14XxldNVuRz Try something like this in the future.
roundingcapehorn on March 2, 2026 1:39 am Just add a dose of chlorine as per the instructions for a ‘shock’ for Algae. That’ll kill anything and make you feel better.
diggerxdiggerx on March 2, 2026 1:40 am Didn’t you have safety tube for pigeons near your pool? 😱😱 You might be fined for that
slowgojoe on March 2, 2026 1:42 am I had a dead rat in the skimmer basket the other day. Looked fairly fresh. These things happen with pool ownership.
gapeher on March 2, 2026 1:45 am Squeeze the pigeon with both hands until its guts puke out, rinse them guts with chlorine bleach pool water. Enjoy a swim
Turbulent-System5521 on March 2, 2026 1:45 am I would consider extra chlorine in the pool for a bit – pigeons can carry cryptosporidium – can cause diarrhoea

Removing the Pigeon would be a good first step.

You want to sanitise the giant soup of chlorine?
