in thier nest will they move on?

A .22 rifle with a decent scope will end that problem permanently . And

a nice pot pie .

high power air gun probably less hassle.

Given the current environment, probably best to give the
local police a "heads up" if you decide to harvest a few
with the air gun, to avoid the SWAT team and local tv
responding to a terrorist on the roof with a gun.

These looks like a good buy. Never dealt with this company,
but their catalog just hit my mail box.

Gunner and our other shooters -- any experience with either
of these?

Checked with metro, open carry is legal in nevada. But this is a
high density residential neighborhood, so metro mentioned that
if someone calls in a report of a man with a rifle shooting from
a roof will get me swated. Then there is the potential of a video
of me shooting pigeons appearing on youtube and i get sued by PETA.

Reasearch indicates that the bird spikes are the best solution to
the problem. Access denial to landing, perching and nesting is
effective according to the reports i have read.
