Hey /an/ I've got a problem with Pigeons. See I've got a pool in my backyard and these mangy fuckers just flock to the thing for water. I've already bought a pellet rifle to take them out but first I gotta lure them away from the pool so I don't get a diseased corpse floating in it.

So what can I do to attract these guys to a better location for shooting?

Tried bread, didn't work. Any particular seeds?

Thing is, I live in the middle of a hellish desert, so they come mostly for the water rather then food. Anyone else have to deal with these pests?

..bird food?
but there's a chance it'll grow.

have you tried giving them a different water source other than your pool? they might prefer that over your pool, but it'd have to be big enough for them to notice.

There's a pool right across the fence from mine, but it's all green and shit. The house is abandoned.

I'd rather keep them away totally rather then move them slightly, I mean they just shit over everything.

Sorry, you just have to buy yourself some netting and drape it over the pool and the surrounding area. I find that just draping the netting over the entire pool enclosure, and cutting & wrapping the gate area separately to allow thoroughfare is best. You can just take away the netting when you need the pool for a party, pigeons aren't THAT stupid to go near the pool when you're thrashing aorund in it.

Once the birds realise that the water source is cut off (say, give it a month), you can either opt to remove the netting or even construct a series of semi-permanent supports to better hold the netting.

The solution is Alka-Seltzer.

who the fuck still thinks this works?

they won't eat it, and when they do all they do is throw it back up.
in order for them to explode, they would need to not have the ability to release gas. which they can do by burping.

so no.
that won't work.

they eat it with the right disguise
