a SCARECROW!
What WORKED FOR ME.....?
Alumininum pie pans / tins hung from a stick with string. The shininess reflects the sunlight erratically & freaks 'em out & if you'll put 2 or more on the stick they'll clank in the breeze & the noise will scare birds away. You should move the sticks around to different places every few days so the birds don't become accustomed / immune to them. & they should be pretty tall--like on a broomstick or hung from a line you've strung across the area.
Free & easy!
Here's a pretty cool link of other visual devices.... http://images.google.com/images?q=visual+scare+devices+pigeons&btnG=Search+Images&svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial

Hang CDs on fine string so they are about 18 inches above the ground. As they swing in the wind their reflections scare the pigeons. Other peoples advice about letting your cats have a bit of fun hunting the pigeons is also good.

Hello, Just stop feeding any birds and the pigeons will find food elsewhere, This time of year there is plenty of natural food for birds,

Let the cats chase the pigeons.
The pigeons will fly away and also it will keep your cat amused and excercised.

Sadly there is not a lot you can do other than buy a bird scarier, but your neighbours might complain about this.

They don't like sticks with bags tied to them, or flag's.
