What is the best way to keep pidgeons from landing on my roof?

Line the entire thing with concertina wire. Should get rid of the
problem.

In all sincerity, I've seen many buildings in cities that have broken
glass,
metal spikes, or some such embedded in their concrete window sills (and
all
other convenient roosting points). I don't know how feasible such a
system
would be for a residential roof, but it is a simple, no-hassle solution.

They tried that at my office- giant carpet-gripper looking things, with
interlaced 3 inch spikes sticking up. Worked about a month, then the birds
started nesting in them, bending a few spikes down and using the rest for
anchors.

Pigeons are right up there with cockroaches and sharks in adapting to their
environment.
