What's the easiest homemade pigeon scarer?


Model bird of prey perched in tree nearby? They might get used to a
static model though. So a silhouette of a flying bird of prey hung in
tree nearby? Choose a bird of prey that actualy does take pigeons.

I made the mistake of laying netting over lawn seed I laid. Not a very
good germination rate. I now know why,looking out the window early one
morning I watched blasted pigeons walking over the netting feasting
happily. So time to re-sow, then stretch the netting over the bed a
little raised me-thinks.
