Do you realise we are in Thailand?

if your still having a problem with the flying rats, try some bi/carb soda wrapped up in some bread ...boobooom

in the shopping mall near where i stay
they have a dummy eagle or peregrine falcon
sitting up on the rafters,, way up,
and no pigeon or raven goes anywhere near the place.
like meeting a cracked-up mike tyson in a dark alleyway
they just back off to the other side of town.

Finally, it took until page 3 to see the correct (best) answer.
Believe it or not, I got my "Pigeon Raising" merit badge when I was in the boy scouts.
Our neighbors didn't always like them however, so, I learned from them a long long time ago.
They used a fake owl by the way.
The pigeons never went near that house as long as it was up.

Haha

I've heard of people in the UK, who catch these flying rats and sell them on to Indian Restaurants.

Using trained hawks or falcons will soon rid a place of pigeons

Outside Benjasiri Park, near The Emporium,I've seen a big cage a few times, full of bread and pigeons. I don't know what the Thais do with them, but they love feeding the things

At the Mini Plant in Oxford, they have big, real looking Owls perched on the roof of some buildings

Airports destroy birds habitats, food source and use hawks and dogs to keep them away

Ask Ken Livingstone about that.

He paid for a Peregrine falcon to frighten pigeons away from Trafalgar Square.

It didn't much fancy city life and flew off to London Docklands.

In the States, Mike Tyson takes care of them

had some little birds that liked to hang outside my driveway on the power lines and shit all over the place

so got one of those air powered plastic ball BB guns and blasted the shit out of them for a good 2 weeks.

worked wonders

Beware what you do to them - they may come back...

I will be putting up netting to keep the buggers out this year

where I have done so already, it is a good method, but they will find their way into the smallest of gaps

^ I guess their heads are the same size as a gerbils

ouch...

Pigeon is absolutely delicious- in HK they were my favourite birdy thing to eat, well along with roast goose. have you got any chinee around? Let them go loose on them, and get some cooked ones back as commission.
