I have raised and kept pigeons for over thirty years. They are not "flying rats". I do not like feral pigeons roosting on my house. I remove them with a Ruger .22 loaded with "subsonic" cartriges. This is a slow cartrige that does not make a lot of noise. It is ILLEGAL to discharge a firearm in the city and a .22 will travel 1 mi.,not to mention going right through your roof. Use your head if you do this in town. BB guns are not effective,the wounded bird usually helicopters into the neighbors yard just as they come out the front door on there way to church. An alternative is a good pump type pellet gun,one with enough power to kill the bird immediately. Forget all the owls,snakes,snake oil,etc.it won't work. I am a bird lover,have been all my life,but feral pigeons can be a nuisance. The best thing is to kill them,plain and simple,they are not an endangered species. Just make it quick and clean,you don't want them doing cartwheels on the sidewalk when the police pull up.
