Pigeons

Part of my day has been dedicated to resolving the issue of pigeons on my balcony. I have two at the moment that are anxious to set up a nest and, seemingly, my balcony looks a great place to start their new home. Sadly they make too much of a mess so I've been trying to keep them at bay by taping up the places they like to roost.

This is one of the dejected looking pigeons after he's realised that it's now a no go area around here.

The annoying thing is there's a perfectly great tree just outside. Whatever happened to pigeons nesting in trees like the good old days?
