How do you get rid of Pigeons?
« on: January 26, 2008, 09:29:08 pm »
I live on the 16th floor of a building and pigeons seem to love my balcony.  How can I get rid of them when there is some nasty old woman feeding them in the parking lot next door. I call her nasty because she drives over to the parking lot to feed them when she could feed them at home. Does rice really cause them to explode? Is there a more benign method that I could use?

I cannot take these flying rats much longer.

@S My balcony isn't long enough and they would just fly over it and come back. :(
@J That is unlikely to help much.

Have you tried to cast a "taste of death" spell ?  :sorcerer:

To the pigeons, of course...  :devil:

Isn't that feeding them uncooked rice?

The most effective way to get rid of pigeons without doing them harm is to put barb wire along your balcony rail. It won't look so pretty but they won't be able to perch then. hope that helps.

Stronith told me to post this.

He says just take the rail off you balcony. Just be careful when you go out onto it. Perhaps you might want to anchor yourself to a lamp or something.  ;D

edit: Oh and gross steuben! :P

12 gauge standard Pump-Action Shotgun or the ever classic urban assault rifle.

or if you want to go the more unconventional route:

Hmm a serious(?!) suggestion, I'm pretty sure the apartment rules would not allow that. And their tracks are in the snow on the floor of the balcony. Maybe I should call in (Honey, I Shrunk the) Rambo! Or possibly I could buy one of those mid '70's concert laser light shows cheap.

Anyone have a recipe for Squab?

Yikes this thread took off....

I live in Canada no guns registered to me

Gaaah!

LMAO!   ;D

BTW, my first suggestion was serious. A friend of mine did it and she lived on the 8th floor. It worked for her. :D
