Pigeon Annexes Reader's Balcony




A READER WRITES: "A pigeon has set up a nest on my balcony (see photograph), and I do not know what to do. Should I abort the eggs before they hatch? The father is also around, shitting all over my balcony. What should I do?"

BB SAYS: This is a tricky one. A friend of mine calls pigeons "rats with wings". Pigeons are notoriously ruthless - if you do not act now, they will take over your entire property. One option is to call in vermin control. But I would recommend taking matters into your own hands. Inoculate yourself against having any sympathy for the pigeons by watching Hitchcock's The Birds - this film will show you what's coming your way if you don't do the necessary.
