Anyone have a proven method of encouraging pigeons

that does not work. If i put some aluminum swarf
in thier nest will they move on?

A .22 rifle with a decent scope will end that problem permanently . And
make a nice pot pie .

Not for a decent BB gun.

This is more than accurate enough to head shoot pigeons, more than
powerful enough to anchor them if you take a body shot and quiet
enough not to disturb the neighbors.

It also works nicely for running off stray dogs by only putting 3 or
so pumps into it and then pegging Bowser in the ass. Slight bruise..no
damage. Put in 10 pumps and put one in their ear...you will need to
slither them out to the dumpster.

Probably one of the best "universal" "bb" guns out there today.

Not a target gun..but damned near.
