Pigeon coop


So, I have a pigeon problem.

They like to roost in the spot where the two roofs conjoin. I scare them away and 20 minutes later they're back.

Last December this happened too, A pair of pigeons would make a nest in the same spot. One day I got frustrated, I didn't have my glasses so I couldn't see clearly. I was trying to scare them off. I pumped my bb gun once, stood back and shot. To my suprise I hit one accidently and killed it. It must of rocked its dome just perfectly, because it died shortly after.

So, now I have to find a new solution. I'd rather not kill them, but I can't stand them cooing.

    A few options to try are "Bird Strips", Chicken wire, sound generators, there are even a few chemical options available. Good luck.

    I suppose you could try putting something there that wouldn't be so easy to sit on, some pieces of barbed wire or something. Maybe that wouldn't look to nice on the roof, though...

    Just put something in the area they're roosting. That way it makes it impossible for them to just sit there

    damn rats with wings. Try buying one of those plastic owls that move with the wind. That gets the job done. Worked with me!
