John, I'm having a similar problem with birds in my gutters and eaves. I
found a website that has bird distress calls that are supposed to scare away
the birds. So I downloaded the sound and I've been playing it loudly in the
garden today, feeling a bit of a prat and hoping the neighbours didn't come
knocking on my door demanding to know if I was strangling the budgie!
Anyway, it didn't work! In fact, it was a bit like Hitchcock's The Birds
for a while there!

There are bird spikes that keep pigeons away, but my birds are smaller so
apparently mesh netting is better but I don't fancy climbing a ladder to
reach the gutters.

Any ideas as to how to move them on? Neighbour is an old chap and I dont
want to bother him. I thought of recording an owl, or pigeon in distress
to
scare them, but it seems a bit far fetched.
