Sky Rats on the balcony

[Dougal]

Get an air gun and kill them. Leave the rotting bodies in place for a week or two. This gives out a very strong message to the rest.

I really don't know of a nice way to do it. Sorry.

It's summer and it's scorching here. I'm using this balcony today (bimbling in and out, torn between the desire to have my skin flayed off by the sun and my mind flayed apart by the internet). The hot Vaseline and hot rotting corpses plans are not viable options therefore

We left the balcony door open the night before last to get some air moving through the flat and the fuckers came in and shat on my rug

Putting threads/tape across the pots seems to have had an effect, though. I haven't had to chase any pigeons away since 'im indoors did it.

Hear, hear! I'm a vegetarian but I firmly advocate pigeon death.

noooooooooooooo!!!

I looked!! Took me aaaaages and I couldn't remember if you guys are in the first or second multi

It's not very clear is it? Or did you smudge the lens??

Yes - it might look like Assorted Dangly Hippy Shit but it is in fact a microwave shield generator that deflects satellites, powered by the Tesla Coil the council keep hidden in the basement

You bastard - that made tea come out through my nose

Get the biggest super soaker that you can lay your hands on - keep it filled and pumped up and then blast the little devils - they really hate it and don't come back. Keep a score - more points for a hit as a pigeon's coming in to land, less if you hit one on terra firma.

My neighbour has a breeding site behind a planter and likes the little beggars so I have a steady crop of young un's to apply aversion therapy to.

I'd have thought you might get away with attaching bamboo canes in the corners (really well - public liability and all that), and string fishing line across.
It's available in different colours so there should be some that's unobtrusive.

E2A: - if you get the diameter / spacing / tension right you may find you've made an aeolian harp

Pigeons are edible you know.

Even Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall thought better of eating a London pigeon
