All Pigeons must die.

Get a cut out silouette of a hawk or better still one of those cheap hard realistic plastic models from one of those cheap chinese shops. String it up on a long thin cord on an angle through your balcony opening like thick fishing wire with a bit of slack so it swings around in the wind.
We use one on a yatch, it keeps the sea gulls off it ok, otherwise they sh!t all over it during the week. Ours is made from a painted polystyrene body with metal wings and head and tail.It hurts when it hits you.

You know, if you catch one on a fish hook on the same line it'll put up such a stink the rest wont be back.
that way you wont have to kill all of them.

they are edable by the way,so are sparrows.

Sparrows on the other hand if you set alot of hooks up on a line and catch one the rest come to see what the fuss is about and you collect the lot.

This is a Sas survival trick for food in some areas.

IF you know the guy who lives on the opposite balcony (two tennnis rackets)and you got a live game of morning shuttle cock right there .

shuttlecock heh heh heh.

I do know that after they have roosted on your balcony for a couple of hours, they are very sluggish and find it difficult to take off, which makes them easier to torment. A little golf anyone?

Ghost Dog had pigeons. So did The General (an Irish criminal movie). I was at a guys house last night and he had racing pigeons and they would come home 600 miles. That is crazy.

I don't know about pigeons, but when we would go the Belle Isle my father would feed the seagulls chicken with hot sauce on it. Dumb birds would scream and keep eating. I heard alka seltzer kills them, but I wouldn't know if pigeons would eat that. Something about them not being able to pass gas and imploding.
