Darbhanga: The presence of pigeons has now become an everyday problem for many people living in busy areas of the city. While some people look at these birds with love, for a large number of people the sound of their wings, the dirt and the stains they leave on walls and floors become a cause of trouble. In the crowded environment of the city where pigeons are common, some simple and effective methods can be adopted to keep them away from your balcony, terrace or window. This will not cause any harm to the birds.
do these measures
Use of shiny and reflective things: Pigeons feel uncomfortable with bright lights and reflected glare. For this you can use old CD, aluminum foil or special reflective tape. Place these items on the balcony railing or on the edge of the terrace. The light glow they produce when swinging in the air confuses the pigeons and they hesitate to sit there.
Use of the shape of birds of prey: Strategically install plastic or fiber figures of birds of prey like eagles or owls in the balcony. Pigeons consider these figures as a threat and immediately run away from that place. However, it is important to keep moving these statues from time to time, so that the pigeons do not realize that they are stable and fake.
Third, use of pungent and strong smells: The smell of things like lemon, vinegar, camphor, garlic, or red chilli is unbearable for them. You can soak a piece of cloth in vinegar or lemon juice and tie it on the edges of the balcony or terrace. This simple recipe helps a lot in keeping pigeons away from that place.
Uses of bird repellent spray: These sprays have a special smell that keeps pigeons away, but does not harm them. For best effect, keep spraying this spray regularly, especially after rain or strong wind.
Eliminate food sources: Pigeons often come in search of grains, corn or other food items. If you do not want them to come to your balcony or terrace, do not leave grains at such places. If you prefer to feed them, choose a designated and controlled corner and clean the area immediately after the pigeons leave. By adopting these measures with planning and discipline, you can get relief from the problem of pigeons to a great extent.
