Stupid Pigeons :(

Post by Fras »

I have pigeons on my balcony. Normally, I don't mind bird but they are making a MESS! That's not cool, good feathers. I need to get rid of them but banging on the glass door or say "shoo stupid birds" is just getting me a little neck turn look. HELP. Any Ideas on how to get rid of them?

fake plastic owl!

it works for swallows and other annoying birds..i'd imagine it would work for pigeons..
or not...i just did a quick search on pigeon deterrents, and it seems pigeons poop on them, and aren't scared of them. well. crap.

buy a hawk.

or a windchime. this website says windchimes work. but i think a hawk would be shnazzy. you could give it a neat name like Humphrey.

Every house in our neighborhood has a fake owl on their roof......even the landlord of my apartment put one on our house. The freakin pigeons are annoying around here.

You want a quick and easy solution?
get a board and a nail.
thats all you need.

as long as you have arms. and since you have the ability to type i am going to assume that you have that.

Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

*sings Thom-style* Fake plaaaaaastic owls... :P

Maybe you could cut some hawk silhouettes out of black construction paper and tape them onto the glass. They do that at zoos to prevent birds from flying into the glass. Dunno if it'll work to keep pigeons away - I'm not even sure if they're scared of hawks. :)
