A similar topic to the how to stop cats post, I live in a rural location and weve always had wood pigeon's in the garden,but recently we seem to have loads of them and they are(polite) pooping everywhere,my grass and paths are covered with it, the kids are getting on themselves and im getting on my shoes,so how do i deter get rid of these pest's(shooting though i would not really a option,no longer do i have any gun's and my middle daughter is a animal lover) would a decoy owl or hawk type thing put them off? any other suggestions? thanks.
) don't have to be too precise with the colouring but the silhouette has to be right.....I often use a cardboard cut out of a cat with a couple of marbles for eyes hidden in the vines growing up the front of the house to keep the blackbirds from eating the grapes, works too....if you have any furry toy animals you can wedge them in a tree....a scarecrow too may work, but what ever you use you have to change their position everyday as the birds get used to them....
