Getting rid Of a Nusiance Pideon - Ive called it Sammy?

Question

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?

Answer 1

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 !

Answer 2

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.........

Answer 3

Get some of those plastic long tubs from the garden centre, the ones you put window plants in.
Make sure they're the ones without holes in the bottom and that they have as narrow a top lip as possible.
Put them in position as required and fill with water to the top.
Make sure you top them up if the bird hangs around for long enough.
The bird should get fed up with trying to perch on the very narrow lip of the plant holders and sod off after a while.
Leave them in place for several weeks at least so that it doesn't come back.

Answer 4

My brother as quickly as lived in a house that became 'haunted', or although you want to call it. there became a terrible feeling with regard to the place, and a damaging stench of rotting fleash that 'moved' around the homestead. in case you stepped into it, you had to throw-up and cry. He 'smugged' the homestead countless instances to attempt and clean out the gap, and get rid of any damaging potential. This one became a foul one, and nevertheless- maximum likey no longer in any respect left. It looked as though it would paintings for the entire homestead, yet one room. The laundry room became this rather frightening and uncomfortable room- so which you prevented it- continually! you should attempt this methodology, it labored sufficient for him- long sufficient jointly as he lived there. different than for the laundry room. i think of which you utilize a type of candy grass, some thing which you may get at a organic keep. Like an indian grass. you should maximum possibly look it up online.

Answer 5

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.

Before long all the local wildlife will be badmouthing the pigeon and he'll be humiliated into leaving.

Alternatively, try setting fire to your house. That'll learn him.

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

Well you have to understand you are living in its world not it in yours so you have to move and find another place to live, because not only have you named it, but you have loved it otherwise youd have never named it. So leave it alone and give it permission to be who it is as you expect it to do for you. Thank GOD for it being attached to you because someone has to love YOU.

Answer 8

simple, razor blades, 4inch nails, broken glass etc.... on it's perch so that when it comes to land it soon learns not to, otherwise try using a jet washer on it, might make it realise it isnt welcome without doing too much damage. If all else fails is anyone really going to miss one mangy bird if it did accidentally die - I have heard bread soaked in a fizzy tablet like eno makes them explode.

Answer 9

you've given him a name so you probably feed him as well he knows he's on to a good thing then

try getting hold of a hawk that should do the trick
the bugger will NOT come back

Answer 10

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.
