Who cares...shoot them anyway. I'm sure it isn't legal to shoot pigeons around here but I've done it before.

Anti-Pigeons. Just like pigeons but the polar opposite. When the two come into contact, both are annihilated.

If you can't do that without getting a visit from the police I'd try a pellet gun.

Pigeons are the most annoying POS birds, and people who feed them should freaking stop- especially in the damn city!!

go buy a pigeon...shoot it with pellet gun...hang it where the others like to hang out...

throw small bits of alka-seltzer in the air until they start eating it...sit back and watch the show :) (wear a rain coat)

I think that only works on seagull-type birds that catch food in the air as they do.

Yes, pigeons are a nuisance. They nest in the eves of your house and crap all over your roof Oh and their crap happens to be toxic, especially to young children.

Sky rats is what they are. They should all be killed.

I'm not sure, but:

It appears the French specialize in Anti-Pigeons; not particularly surprising, so perhaps once you learn to read French you will find what you're looking for.
