My brother in law has a big pine in his front garden and it is home to pigeons. He want the tree down because of this, i am trying to save the tree as it is quite impressive and it would be a shame to come down.

 

I climbed it the other day and stuck a load of cd's on strings to scare the birds {i thought the windows 98 one would do the job} but alas they are back.

 

any ideas anyone to keep them at bay and stop them shi*ing on his motors?

 

cheers

Have you considered a Céline Dion cd?

 

 

I once had a very nice rimfire rifle. .22 Sako, moderator on the end. Very stealthy and more effective than microsoft anytime :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

Also worked on them pesky squirrels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, off to cuddle a bunny.

Move his motors coz them 'PIG..EONS' won't stop sh*tting in my experience AND probably all year round.

 

Jokin apart it is a major problem and previously I had some lovely TPO'd Pine trees, retained ideally too close to the house, and the little blighters covered their patio area regularly AND often whilst they were cleaning it....just to add insult to injury. It actually grieved me to 'refuse' consent as I was wholly sympathetic to their predicament and (off teh record) advised them to appeal it...but they didn't n just soldiered on.

 

I don't think there's any real solution here, I guess droppin a small-gauge (very) large net from a helicopter over the tree is getting into the realms of sublime n ridiculous BUT may be the only solution. DON'T do it now tho as then little 'pidge' won't be able to get to his nest n Mr Natural England will get upset.

 

Cheers..
