Attack of the birds

It all started out as a good guy idea ( I am serious), a pair of pigeons decided to make a nest on the patio of my flat. Which is 5 floors up and has water below it.

So there is no way of removing them from their home until they are able to fly.

Now, my flatmate said it was a bad idea - he had hosted a pair of these critters before and said the mess was ridiculous.

Oh how I wish I had listened.

You know when you look back at an idea and think " Cr*p that was a stupid idea!" Ya I hurt my neck looking back at this idea.

 

Look at that bird smirk.

 

So these two pigeons laid two eggs , actually they laid two that didn't hatch ( I should have moved them then) and then laid two more.... and sat there , taking turns to keep the eggs warm. Then they hatched. And the hell ensued.

Bird cr*p. Everywhere.

On the walls. On the braai. In the braai. On the outside lamp. In the lamp. On the desk. Under the desk. On the chairs, on the floor, on the roof. Yes the roof. I dunno, some flying stunt or something made that possible.

And then they started growing. And growing. And more cr*pping.

So yesterday we cleaned the patio and they flew off. Seems that they were living Le good life while they could!

And then they came back. With pigeon reinforcements. Seems the word spread and now the whole neighbourhood wants in on this love pad.

So I need your advice. What can I do to keep these pigeons away?

Oh and they are really used to humans - so some really effective things please?

I am desperate!!!

Tweet me (get it tweet - birds... hahaha) @jasonmccall01 with your suggestions or leave a comment below!

 

Cheers for now
