Pigeon Coup?
My Son moved into his flat three years ago. It's on the top floor of a three storey block. There were scores of pigeons already resident, on the building and on his window sills. My Son is very laid back and the presence of the birds didn't bother him, even the day when we were sat in the lounge with the windows open, and one of them walked in for a look around.
I found out some information and started to work on a plan to create some shields for the window sills using perspex. I found out where I could get the necessary supplies, how to bend and cut it, and the angle the pigeons could not settle on. Again, my Son was not fussed. Then I came up with a temporary solution, or at least an attempt. A two foot tall plastic owl. All my Son had to do was fill the base with sand so the wind would not move it. Son did not bother but stood it on the inside sill. Since that day, eight months ago, there has not been a pigeon on the window sill, nor the who!e block. |

The Jaguars on the bonnet of our hearses and limousines didn't seem to bother the seagulls!
I pressure washed my drive and patio area (lots of pigeons and seagulls here) on Wednesday and wonder if that's what caused my sickness on Thursday. It seems that inhaling droplets of water containing bird poop can lead to psittacosis!!!:eek: I was coughing up allsorts in the early hours!:duh: |
We had a foot tall plastic owl on the roof of a factory I worked in to deter birds from flying into the warehouse.
One nightshift I *borrowed* the owl from the roof and placed it on a conveyor belt on the production line, the woman packing the product lept out of her seat when the owl greeted her at the end of the conveyor! Sent from my SM-G780G using Tapatalk |
