Why not get real falcons and put them into the city to kill the pigeons AND the rats? They brought in peregrine falcons in Chicago; not sure how it's working (since I no longer live there), but that would also help hawks on the endangered species list.

A raptor attacked a chiuaua a few years back in NYC. From that time, they had to keep them on a leash or they stopped using them. Not sure which but the city paid for the dog's vet bills.

The fact that you can't spell to save your life is funnier than this entire post.

Eliminating one and not the others will not help much. Once pigeons and birds are born to an area, they will keep coming back so the trick is to end the roosting and nesting cycle.
Poison & bird spikes don't work.
There are three simple things to remember when trying to get rid of pigeons:
1. Eliminate the food source
2. Eliminate the water source
3. Prevent roosting, nesting and eliminate shelter for the pigeons or birds
Let's be proactive. There's a better way of doing things.=)

We had a pigeon problem in London and a man turned up with a pink pigeon and said to the mayor i can cure your pigeon problem.
The mayor said if you can i will give you a million pounds.
The man let his pink pigeon loose over LONDON and all the pigeons flew off and followed,as it reached the English Channel it swooped down and all the pigeons drowned.
He asked the mayor for his money and the mayor turned round and said have you got any pink Pakis

Why not employ 2 people? Pay them 25,000 a year, give them a remington and a box of 22's. At .02 cent a round, just seems to make more sense.

If anyone is a crackpot it's you Gary, answering an articulate, informative post with a stupid one line statement. The ignorance shown in these posts by pigeon haters is pathetic. The department of health states in the article (and has stated before) that pigeons are not a risk to human health, yet people totally ignore it. Dogs and cats are more of a danger to human health than pigeons are. If you don't believe that, do a little research instead of simply parroting what you've heard. Should we get rid of dogs and cats? Eat them maybe? Where is the PROOF that pigeons are a health hazard? All the hysteria about the dangers of pigeons does nothing but put money in the pockets of exterminators.

where did you get that from? the bacteria responsible for LD occurs naturally in the environment, but grows best and becomes concentrated in warm water pools, like large plumbing systems, hot tubs etc that dont get cleaned well enough.
i never heard about pigeon squeezings being the root cause.
