This message is from: Karen McCarthy <weeg...@hotmail.com> In our old big barn in Nevada the pigeons decided to move in one spring so we used a BB gun. Dave was an expert marksman in the Marines and the pigeons didn't last long - at lest the ones who were dumb enough to hang around....Our ranch dogs, including an ancient lab who 'suddenly came alive again', were a very efficient clean up crew too.
