They land on my TV aerial and every day I have to go and clean up the mess. I can't put the spikes up because they sit on TV aerial. I've asked silly neighbour to stop feeding them but she won't listen. Any suggestions - if the answer is a gun then please tell me where to buy and what type of gun you need.

P.S - thinking of shooting the pigeons not the neighbour! And I have a cat but it's too high up.

if they are on your aerial then it sounds like they are quite close range. this is the gun i use http://www.youngmans.com/acatalog/BSA_Lightning.html and i have it in .177. i can shoot pigeons easily at 30m with this thing.

Usually those spikes work real well on buildings. I would also invest in a BB gun to scare them off. Personally, my dogs go after the city chickens. Since they have achieved capture and destruction of said city chickens, I don't have much of a problem anymore. Hope this helps!!!

I have five cats and they have only ever brought two pigeons home, I don't get any pigeons hanging around my house (my neighbours do).
My recommendation is to get a cat they are great!!!!

...have you tried tying some kind of ribbon or streamers to the aerial, or maybe a dummy 'big bad bird' on your roof?
...it seems a shame to want to kill birds because of inconvenience!

go to farmers coop and get a plastic owl. they do seem to work. they work best if allowed movement such as hung on a string or affixed to a very limber switch.
