OK so we have had a bit of a problem with the dang pigeons since we have moved to Las Vegas. Everyday there are at least 50 pigeons that sit on our roof and poop all day long. That is a lot of pigeon poop. There have also been some instances where the pigeons have ran into our bathroom window upstairs. When this happens the pigeons leave a little "pigeon dust" for evidence. I like to call germ infested dust. One of the pigeons hit the window and fell to the ground and was injured badly. I hate those things but I did feel so bad for this pigeon considering I had to smash it's head with a block to put it out of it's misery and cause I didn't want to put an alive pigeon in the garbage. So Our neighbors got this fake owl and put it on his house and the pigeons stopped going on his house. Instead the pigeons were all on my house. We trekked it over to Wal-mart and bought two fake owls. We were both excited about the owls because we were for sure they were gonna work take a look.
Here is our house with the owl in the top crack kinda small but it is there. This was 15 minutes after the owl was in place and we were so excited.
Then an hour after that I decided to go get the mail and I looked up and there they were four little brave pigeons. Let me remind you that it was hard work getting those owls up cause our house is so tall and it we had to borrow the tallest ladder just so we could jump up on the roof.
Yep still there even if I threw a rock at them. On a positive note there are not 50 to 100 pigeons on that spot, just four brave souls.
A closer look at them looking at the owl hunched over just cracked me up. We have come to the conclusion that a BB gun is the next step in our quest for pigeon free home:)

I hate pigeons. Rats with wings is what Michael calls them. We had a huge problem at our last house. None here though--but we have crickets like crazy!
Disgusting!!!! At least they are not quite as many now!
Where are the rock climbing pictures? ! :)
I was really sad to hear that you smashed the pigeons head in with a boulder but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do!! I'm sure I'd be annoyed with those dang pigeons too!! I hope the owls still working!!:)
Ewwww pigeons....... I am sorry about the infestation and sorry that you had to bash one in the head with a rock. I am glad that the owls worked for the most part! Hopefully you can get rid of the remaining four!

Hey Christie! I haven't talked to you in forever and thought I'd say HI. I hope you're having fun. I love your blog!
So when I was reading this story it reminded me of Failure to Launch when her roommate is so annoyed with the bird (do you know what I'm talking about) so she buys a gun and then you said the next step is a BB gun....thats hilarious!! Isn't her roommate the funniest character ever? Good luck with your pigeons!
