Maybe what Azul is implying is that they should be introduced/forced to some sort of birth control... as there are so many of them around & it can be very annoying...

By the way does anyone know how to get rid of them? Right above my bedroom window has become somesort of hotpoint where a small community seems to gather every single morning... cooing, shi$$ing and doing all sorts that I don?t even want to think of ... it is just getting out of hand...

Where I'm from, we used to be able to buy these big plastic predatory looking models of owls - kind of like the scarecrow effect for crows. We'd plop it on the roof somewhere and you wouldn't see anymore pigeons or other birds for that matter. I have never seen these things in the UK, but if they exist, they really work.

Nahhh Moos, don't credit me for that! I was just trying to found a way to link this thread to the pigeon prob I am current having & hopefully find a solution... reading it again I think you input has so much more logic...

Big thanks Candj ? I will certainly look into it.


Re-edited due to poor grammar....

Look at these beauties...

posh and beaks


On the flip side, a few years ago Westminster Council were shooting pigeons with some sort of air rifle. My husband's office is in St. James's and we would go to work finding pigeon parts all over the pavements and alleys. Not at all pleasant and I think I'd rather have live pigeons crowding the pavements rather than a set of bloodied wings at the doorstep. yuck!


Note: This has since stopped, for all you animal lovers out there! :)

Maybe the Guys were "reclaiming" St.James's.

Organising a coup,in fact:))

p.s. A little "Poetic Licence" required...:)

I was once taken on a school trip to the National Portrait Gallery and had the unexpected joy of watching a trained Harris Hawk rip the heads off the pigeons in Trafalgar Square. Needless to say, at the age of about nine, we found it far more exciting than the prospect of just walking around looking at drawings.

    • These are the smokeless fuels you can burn on a open fireplace in Southwark: https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels-php/england/ https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/environment/air-quality/reduce-air-pollution/reduce-smoke
    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]
