Put a plastic owl decoy in the rafters. Move it around every once in a while. Might help. Or, get some neighbor boys to come and trap the pigeons. We did that one time, only to find that those same boys pulled a prank on the school and let those pigeons loose in the school's gymnasium. On second thought, maybe you should forget about that second idea.

Is this true? I would think any bird can be a carrier of disease through it's body or feces. I have a related question. How do I get rid of pigeons? They perch in my indoor and on the eves of a pole barn. I don't know how to shoot a gun. I would love to find a sticky spray to at least put on my lean-to's where they love to build their nests. When I can afford it I want to put screens on my arena openings but gee, the screens are big bucks! Any suggestions?? It is windy and sleeting today. The fjords were in the arena for awhile this am to dry off and have a good roll. I just turned them back out and I would not say they were thrilled :) S-L-O-W to get going!!!
