Title: Any Suggestions?
Post by: Lotty on March 24, 2016, 16:32:40 PM

I wonder if anyone has a sure fire (no pun intended) way to deter big fat pigeons sitting on four thick telephone cables that are right over our path, it's clearly a meeting point for them. Also 2 more cables run across the drive directly above the car! The amount of birds sh.t is unbelievable! I'd swear they were ostriches. The car looks like someone's vomited on it - really! It's impossible not to tread it into the house and on wet days like today it's a nightmare. I've tried scaring them with the fake owl trick but they just laugh at me.  :-[

Invest in a good quality kids water gun and use as often you can. Or an anglers bait catapult filled with gravel,Last resort, an air rifle.

I've trained them to use someone else's back garden, not mine.       ;)
