Sparrow hawks or hawks are by far the best deterrent. Not sure how you get them there but when one shows up, pigeon numbers go down fast and stays down. My son in the feed industry agrees also. Commercially, poisoned birds are supposed to be picked up and properly disposed of. You don't want the neighbor's cat eating them and dying sparking a million dollar lawsuit.

If you can avoid feed laying around for them it really helps, but very hard to do for some operations.
I have seen feed mills put either chicken wire or plastic snow fence under the trusses so they cannot roost., definitely a pain, but so is their roosting in your shed. |
