Pigeons, pigeons, everywhere– on the rooftop, on the stair.
Cooing, cooing, everywhere–
from the tower–Quasi's lair.
Flapping, flapping everywhere–
in attic, eaves and window glare.
Droppings, droppings, everywhere–
on sidewalks, car, and in my hair.
Fly, please fly away, anywhere–
Into a propeller; I don't care.
Any (legal/lethal) suggestions for how to get rid of a pesky pigeon colony?

We invested in a couple of air soft pellet guns to ward off all of the neighborhood cats. It hasn't completely solved the problem but it's helped a lot. Plus, they're really fun to shoot and they're just plastic beebees so it's not really hurting anything (unfortunately). Hey, we're going to come visit you August 1st. Are you going to be around?
Me again. Hey, do you have any pictures of the nauvoo reunion to post? I'd love to see them.

Here I am- finally posting pictures of our dinner group at Jefferson Square in June on the NUDG blog and I took a gander at your blog. Love your last three posts.
I have a suggestion for the pigeon problem:
Host a Pigeon-Hunting & Roasting Event for a future dinner event. We could use wrist rockets- and if we didn't have any luck, shotguns. If you needed to get a closer shot, you could get on the roof and then let 'em have it! Do you have a "fireworks stairs" at your new place?
Oh yeah- and you could always feed them...
...to a bunch of stray cats or something, but then you'd have a cat problem.
I am a pigeon whisperer. Seriously. Pigeons come down my chimney and whoop it up in my house, soot and all. Try to shoo them out and you just get more droppings. Try to throw a blanket over them and feathers fly. So I, through inspiration no doubt, became a pigeon whisperer. "Shhh, shhh little dove. I will not hurt you. See that sunlight? See it? Go toward the light little Dove, go to the light."
It works. I swear.
