Bugs and pests A humane and sure-fire way to keep pigeons away

Submitted by Doris McCoy

A humane and sure-fire way to keep pigeons away is to hang foil tart tins on lengths of string on your balcony railings. They clatter in the breeze and frighten pigeons away. Pigeons like to nest under balcony furniture, so hang some foil tins on the sides and backs of chairs too.

Will only work for a short while. Comments By: Becca on 2007-08-05

This works the same for hanging CD's it will only work for a short time until the birds realise that they won't harm them, to keep pigeons away just don't provide a food source, they will only stay if being fed.
