I'll send Moo over there for a week or so, problem will be solved. She kills 5 to 6 pidgeons a week. Her personal best was 9. (Gets to be a pain cleaning up the dead birds behind her!) ASPCA can't touch you that way, lol.

when i lived in santa ana....they would flock in the morning and afternoon....asked the neighbors, they said theres a guy who raises them like homing pigeons in the area.....ive seen flocks all over socal since then....i think they get away from home and breed like rabbits.

they are just noisy....i havent heard about them being a problem otherwise.

From my understanding is a pet shop caught fire and they released the birds and they have adapted to the enviornment...this is what a family member told me...could be a myth

Sounds reasonable, but really more than likely they are propegating further north from Mexico, much like some of the Mexican Big cats are.

If you cant use a pellet gun (my first choice), how about some tainted bird seed.

Kamakazi actually means heavenly wind or god wind.

Buy the biggest fake rubber snake you can find and hang it from the same wires/branches that they hang out on.

Or, depending on your lifestyle choices, maybe you have some large sex toys that will do the trick...

We used to have a shit ton of them here in chino hills. One day they were just gone I don't know if they headed out or if someone took care of em. Now I have homing pigeons to deal with... I don't understand the hobby in raising birds but my neighbors sure do...

Funny story about pigeons from when I was in high school. I had a 73 bronco for my first car. So I was cruizing the bronco around the neighborhood and came up on a whole flock of pigeons in the street, I expected the fukkers to take of well they just stood there, I must have killed 15 - 20 of those shit heads. Turns out that they were homing birds that wernt quite ready so they clip there wings and had gotten out of there pen ( so I got from the mexican that spoke very poor english yelling at me) I was picking bird guts and feathers out from the undercarraige up until the day I got rid of that thing. Funny thing was my mom and step dad ended up with the bronco and he did a full restore on it. I get a call from him asking why the hell are there bird feathers all over the place. ahh memories

uncooked rice works same principal as alka seltzer, but cheaper.

« **Reply #22 on:** July 28, 2009, 01:02:10 PM »

I have a flock of about 45 to 50 of them that fly over my house everyday at 4:30 on the dot! I think the fukkers have watches on or something.
