How does one get rid of pigeons ?

[mrsnacks]

I have four to five of them flying on our roof during the day. They poop from there and it drops on our front porch. Any suggestions ?

Hi mrsnacks,

I have personally never encountered this problem so I Googled "pigeon deterrent" and this is what I got,  http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=pigeon+deterrent&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

Since I do not know all the particulars I linked you directly to the results.

Good luck,

Joe

Some of the folks near me that have the multimillion dollar homes have tried the owl statue on their tennis/B-ball courts.
It worked for about a month, now the pigeons just poop on the owls.

LOL this brings back memories! When I was a child, pigeons built a nest in the tv antenna tower beside my mom and dad's house. The location of the nest was close enough to my parents' bedroom window that the pigeons drove them nuts, and I think the simple presence of the birds in general was enough to drive me nuts. I rememember he used to pull the garden hose over there and spray the heck out of the nest to knock it down, but God apparently gave the pigeons the ability to create a super fortress of a nest, because the water wouldn't knock it down.
I remember trying to help my dad by throwing tennis balls and the like at the nest, but nothing ever worked. Year after year the pigeons would come back to that exact spot on my dad's tv antenna tower. LOL.......funny what you remember sometimes

p.s. To answer your question: You just may be stuck with those stupid birds LOL. I don't think my dad ever found a way to deter them other than a gun. (which he would never ever do)

[mrsnacks]

I think I may have found the solution. I went on a Google
search and found this company that sells these helium balloons with this painted face on it and eyes that rotate. It floats on a string and hovers over your home. The face with the rotating eyes scares the birds away. It is really scary looking. It cost just under $50.00.

The owl thing works for about a month and then the pigeons get wise.

Does the pigeon have a predator ?

Does Ray have any emails or audio teachings on how to get rid of pigeons?

All I ever heard of was the owl thing.

Have you tried climbing up there, running around yelling and screaming? That'll chase 'em all away! 
You might get some weird looks from the neighbors though.
"What's that moron doing NOW??" LOL 
But hey, be careful up there. Don't fall. If you do, just grab onto that helium baloon with the rotating eyes.

[mrsnacks]

Thank you all for the suggestions.

I do have an idea though. I was going to send for the helium balloon thing with eyes but I don't have the extra $60 to get the thing as yet. I was thinking of calling Kenneth Copeland , Joyce Meyer, or Creflo , and asking them for a donation to give to my need of a helium balloon and in return God will open up the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing on them. They do spend their money on lear jets, million dollar mansions, $1500 Brioni suits,  and fancy cars so why not a helium balloon with eyes for a brother in need. Just $60. The price of one button or a cufflink to them.

I did show my wife the picture of the balloon and I got a look you could've poured on a waffle. The look was like - you're not going to put that thing on top of my house.

I am eagarly awaiting Ray's new series on pigeons. Hey Kat , how is he coming with that ? Is he almost done ?

[eggi]

Put little sharp nails on the edge of your roof! That'll keep them away from there!

[mari_et_pere]

LOL I'll try to set up a Help Mrsnacks fund. Anyone interested in donating?

[mari_et_pere]

No, the sharp nails won't work. They'll pop the balloon.
Oh and snacks, what happens when the helium goes away and the balloon droops? Is it refillable?

[mrsnacks]

Mrsnacks fund is a great idea. Send me a donation of  any amount.  Donations of $2000 or more  and I will send you some dirt from the island of Tahiti where I will go with the money sent to me.

The nails won't work because duh - they will just just land elsewhere on my roof.

The fact is the balloons are refillable. The problem is the custom machine that refills them are $500. The other problem this creates is if I do this- I may come home one day and find the locks on the house changed. Or My new bed may be on the couch. But I gotta do something. The other day I came home and about 5-6 of them were in the front yard. They are multipying.  They must be catholics because they don't believe in birth control. They need to get Ray's teachings.

Read my new thread on my dog problem. Am I going through judgment here ?

[mari_et_pere]

LOL! I wish I had a helium tank! Which by the way is all you should need, which wouldn't be ALL THAT much........but yeah I'd use mine on a daily basis, inhaling it and sounding like Chip and Dale. I'd sit by the phone waiting for a solicitation call and let the fun begin!

But......what's the prob with pigeons? I think they're cool. I mean they might be dirty but it's not like you're gonna lick them or anything. Right? Please tell me I'm right........

Mrsnacks,

I recieved a email on the many uses of WD-40. Here's the one that may help you.

Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).
