Thanks, cm They are stupid and you can get them to commit suicide very easily. Get some pigeon food. Go out on the ledge where they roost. Show it to them. Step off the ledge and they will follow you. |

As some great warrior once said: "The penis is mightier than the sword," by which he meant that your enemy can breed faster than you can kill them. That said, there is a certain satisfaction by stacking up the bodies. To be effective, you must consider their milieu. For example, one NY taxi driver worked out a system whereby he would slow down as he approached a pigeon, then stomp on the accelerator. The pigeon thought the taxi was going to give him the right-of-way and was lulled into a sense of complacency. As a result, the taxi got too close for the pigeon to respond to the taxi's surge. The cab driver giggled like a little girl, removed the pigeon from the grillwork, and added another silhouette to the front fender. Obviously the taxi-driver's technique won't work on 34th-story window ledge. There are several techniques he http://www.getridofthings.com/get-rid-of-pigeons.htm But the list is not exhaustive.

When I was a kid, my father used to shoot pigeons and was just as likely to add them to the menu as he was the pheasants, rabbits, etc. My wife wouldn't have anything to do with cooking them as she grew up on a farm and thought of them as vermin. One day I was out by the landlords barn and shot a pigeon. I got the bright idea of cleaning it and taking it in and telling her that I had just managed to shoot a quail. Well, OK, she'd cook that for me but wasn't going to eat it, herself. I tell you that was the nastiest tasting, toughest old bird I'd ever ate. It was some years before I told her of the joke I played on her...errr, myself. Tom G. |

Thanks, cm I know you are a smart reasonable man. It's just that I am smarter and more reasonable (and experienced with pigeons). So, here's my take on being a contractor where I was called on for pigeon control. First major point is that killing them is not the answer. If you could miraculously eliminate EVERY SINGLE pigeon there now, more would move back in by sunset tomorrow. Three things are necessary. ONE Remove all nests and nestlings from wherever they are now. Parents will always come back to babies, and new couples will be attracted to the scent of nests. TWO Clean as much as you can the nesting area, using bleach, 409, Soylent Green, Whatever you can use that will clean somewhat, but not leave big streaks that are more unsightly then the nests. THREE Block off the nesting areas. Netting, hardware cloth, sheet metal, whatever. They really do not want a perch, which only makes them pests for the day. They want nesting sites that make them pests for weeks. They're apartment shopping. I have gotten rid of major infestations of pigeons. If you study pigeon behavior, it is the nesting part of it that is the lynchpin. Eliminate that, and you may have some stopping by for a while (and that will diminish with time), but the nest is the KEY element. Block off the access to the nests, and the pigeons will go elsewhere. It can be a PITA and a couple of weeks work, but two years down the line, and you look up there, and there's no pigeons, you will know you did the right thing. THEY'RE NOT LOOKING FOR A PERCH, THEY'RE LOOKING FOR AN APARTMENT. MHO from years of dealing with pigeons. YMMV, let me know how it works. Steve |

"Lots of birds eat uncooked rice in the wild. Bobolinks, sometimes called rice birds, are a good example. While rice is okay for birds, many wedding parties now throw bird seed instead." http://www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw/Abo...irdFeeding.htm Even bird watchers debunk these myths. "You should not throw rice at the bride and groom at weddings because birds eat it and it swells up in their stomach and kills them. Sometimes the myth goes that it causes them to explode." "Not true. If it were, there would be exploding bird stories all over the national press every June. Think about it. Lots of birds feast in rice fields every year, irritating rice farmers to distraction. If eating rice caused birds to explode, most rice fields would look like a popcorn machine in the harvest season, with little puffs and explosions providing constant entertainment. Quite a vision, and one that the press would never miss." "And there is no difference between rice in fields and rice in bags from the supermarket. Birds have no trouble digesting rice, or any other "expanding" vegetable. I am all in favor of throwing birdseed at weddings, which is what proponents of this myth urge as a solution. I like the symbolism of throwing birdseed. But rice is fine, too." http://www.birdwatchersdigest.com/si...ths/myths.aspx Essentially, those comments support Snopes, ime. |

Thanks, cm This may not be germane, but when SWMBO and I were in Quebec City about six years ago we learned that they were aiming at keeping the pigeon population under control with feeding stations containing food which didn't kill the pigeons, but made them sterile so they couldn't breed new generations.
