thailandbeachisland Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Are you sure that they won't land with this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rak sa_ngop Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I use nylon cable ties. Fix them round the railing and then cut off the ends to leave a few inches of 'spike'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tx22cb Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I bought one of those stand-alone door chime/greeter things, the sort that some shops have at their front doors which sound when people walk past. 400 Baht, 2 batteries, put it on "Welcome" and "loud" sound. Stand it on the balcony so that the motion detector faces the area where the pigeons land. When a bird lands (or even fly past), it sets off the motion detector and the thing emits a loud "Welcome", which is enough to scare off the bird. If your balcony is very large, you may need more than 1 to cover the area. And if you use the balcony, you can switch it off. At first, you'll hear frequent "Welcomes" (telling you that the system works), but gradually less often until the birds learn to go elsewhere. Now I no longer have a problem with my balcony - pigeons are smart. Small, unobtrusive, and batteries last weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StreetCowboy Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 A mock eagle or other large mock predictor? mock snake? We had a problem, many years ago, with a seagull chapping on a skylight window. We put up a stuffed sparrowhawk (should you have one handy) and it never came back.
