I've said it once but if you wantz to get rid of the pigeons(without guns you crazy American) than put a life-sized owl outside on your balconey. It works.

EDIT: If no balcon(e)y than fix'er to the side of the hell-hole you call home.
PS EDIT: Move the hooter around every few days.

the best part of this thread is that someone suggested one of those huge fake owls which would quietly and nondestructively take care of the problem and the OP made like he didn't see it.

i saw it, i ignored it only cause it works only until the pigeons realize it's fake. then they nest around it (happened in the garden on the other side of the apartment to the other tenants. I have a pic somewhere *rummaging through drawer*). But my OP title said

Screw humane, i want them gone!

thanks for the idea though, i will keep it in mind
 
Bring it up with the local health board or human society? I know that pigeons can carry diseases, so that might warrant the city taking action to get them out of there for good.

Just a thought.
 
I had the same exact problem, pigeons sh!tting all over my balcony edge. I used an air rifle with scope, prepped up against my couch, it was perfect. Those pigeons got pierced and spiraled down all the way from the 25th floor.

I cant count how many times i've seem those damned fake owls with bird crap all over them(i laugh every time). Glad i saw it though, i'll never be duped into buying that crap. Wrist rocket + rock for that win, just watch out for windows, if ya break one, never do it again.
 
:music:when they see us coming the birdies all try and hide
but they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide:music:

man i love tom lehrer XD

Better yet.
set up a laser system.
so that when a bird comes in close distance.
it makes a loud noise.
and the bird flys away.
