Bar using a gun!! Kids and probably neighbour ain't gonna be happy if I start exterminating the wood pigeons, so any other ideas. We back onto open fields and get varied birds on the garden but the pigeons sit on the fence and are starting to make a real shitty mess! Plus I don't suppose it's particularly hygenic for the kids to be playing up there either.

I think the consensus was 'no catapults'

I thought about borrowing a rifle but don't see the point in needlessly blowing holes in pigeons, or the fence or my neighbours greenhouse for that matter.

Build one of those trellis/pagoda things over the decking, nail some plywood across the top, then nail mores sheets around all the sides. Before you nail the last sheet on check there are no pigeons inside and also take a quick photo of your decking and furniture so that you can remind yourself later of what they look like.

The project I'm currently working on has a bird control system. Every window ledge, wall, parapet, anywhere a bird could possibly land on, has a small, almost invisible wire running across it with a small dc current. It shocks the bird but does'nt harm them. This is on a large commercial building but I'm sure if you researched it there is probably something available for residential applications.

Buy a stuffed sparrowhawk/peregrine falcon lookyliky bird and pop it on the fence.

Would this help scare them off?

err... just leave the birds alone??
with life threatening infections coming from cucumbers are you seriously worried about some bird crap?
I suppose you have astroturf because there might be dangerous earthworms in a real lawn? cut the tree down because some sap got on your car? kill the baby swallows because they have the temerity to cheep in the mornings when you want to sleep?
the world will be really screwed if everyone tried to get rid of nature around us.

Pigeons make a right mess off a patio and your furniture, given half a chance, it's no only unsightly, it's unhygenic too - I wouldn;t want my kids running around in it.

Park your car under the nearest tree, then they'll shit all over that instead.

until the pigeons pay rent then i get to say who and what sprays faeces in my garden. might cut down the trees to stop em hanging around. like my dad used to say... my place, my rules. nature and its horrible smelly muddy creatures can bugger off to a zoo where they belong.

Must admit that I can't stand those damn wood pigeons either as they do make a right mess.

Theres nothing wrong with poop - its all natural goodness, as this guy demonstrates - Man eats pigeon poop for $12 and a lotto card (you probably don't want to watch actually
However, if there is more poop than you can eat for bets then maybe you just need to let nature take its course

Buy gun. Shoot 'em. Put 'em in a pie or on the BBQ. If the latter, a pigeon breast marinated in a little sesame oil and soy sauce then cooked with a few sesame seeds is a true delight.
Kill it and grill it....!

Isn't there some foam you can get that makes the pigeons think there's a fire so they won't come near it?
Or did I dream it?

i have pigeons on my roof..they been there for years and they clog up my gutters...grrrrr.... my roof is too high to get up there...we once got a rope and climbed out the attic window to get to the gutter (almost did a Rod Hull impression ! lol
wrote to council numerous times with clogged up gutters asking them to put up netting etc.. and all you get from them is "if you lived in a council house = we wud be able to help you , if you own your own house then sorry goodbye...
this year we have more Rooks than pigeons..flying rats...thats wot they are. Posted 12 months ago # -
I love having the birds in the garden etc but for some reason the pigeons have taken over of late. They will be removed in some way or another! And as for that crap J17 was spouting, i just don't want bird shit all over my the fookin furniture when I want to sit down!!

People jump of buildings all the time, would you do that?
A parasite lives in pigeon waste that can make you go mad. The brother of a bloke I worked with was in the mad house because of it and there isn't a cure. It can also cause Histoplasmosis and Cryptococcosis (fungual disease) amoung numerous others.
