Getting rid Of a Nusiance Pideon - Ive called it Sammy2007-11-24 17:20:14

I have a pidgeon living above my door and on my bay window. It basically just sits there and poo's all over my garden path. Now the RSPCA wont get rid of it, the council are clearly just slack jawed yokels who wont get rid of it. I cant kill it as it has more rights than the average human and is protected by the wildlife act of 1991 and therefore i can be imprisoned for duffinf it up. Ive tried WD40 cos they dont like the odour. ive tried talking softly to it to persuade it to leave peacefully. Ive even tried playing boyzone music to it in the hope that it will leave. but alas, no effect. Any ideas?

Answers:

if this is a feral pigeon ( something that has dropped out of a race and is now wild ) ( a skem ) then you CAN kill it without any problems whatsoever ! In fact our local council is culling off thousands a year as they are considered vermin ! ( there is no law in force that stops you killing vermin ) If it is a wood pigeon then you can also kill this as people do all year round and eat them ! you only have a problem if it is a dove these are protected by law and you can not kill them ! So if it is causing you a nuisance then you are allowed to kill it ! the only other way to stop it if you don`t want to kill it is to buy an imitation (a clay or pot ) bird of pray owl / kestrel etc then place this where the bird normally stays but when it comes to land and see`s the imitation bird it will disappear and won`t come back . as these are the main predators for pigeons !

Get one of those horns that are really loud(With the liquid inside) walk next to it and squeeze it till it fly's away.

See, Boyzone, that's where you're going wrong. In my experience, Lawnmower Deth is the only way to get rid of the little sh*ts. Either that or leave out some bicarbonate of soda-laced bread. Mwahahahaha

Have you tried (can you get?) those small spikes which they put on ledges of office buildings to stop the pigeons? They won't perch or roost then (and therefore won't poo!). I think the only catch with that is that the spikes can't be sharp, because then you would hurt the poor little thing and corrupt its human rights or some such tosh. Anyhow, another solution which you often see (and on my local pub) is wire netting - quite fine - might not have a great deal of kerb appeal, but if you could fix up some wire over your bay window and door for long enough to stop it making a habit of stopping there, you might be on to something.

Buy yourself a parrot and make up some nasty rumours about the pigeon, such as the pigeon having a drug addiction. Make sure the parrot can recite these wordperfectly and then release him into the wild. Parrots, being social creatures, can't resist gossiping about other animals, especially other birds.
