Obviously having three cats has done me no good regarding having the

What's the easiest homemade pigeon scarer? I've used cds on sticks
before but before I go raiding the cupboard for old cds .. any other
ideas that might work well?


I once found that a car makes a quite good pigeon scarer.

I reversed, accidentally, straight over a fat pigeon lurking on the
road. I thought I had had a tyre blow-out judging by the explosion
as he popped.

I scared him alright.


Many years ago I hit a pidgeon which flew straight under my car, I looked at
the rear view mirror and the size of the feather cloud was incredable, it
covered most of the road.

I assumed it was dead!
