YOU are BAD ASS! You do what's needed to take care of the problem. Thank you for all the ideas & inspiration!! I watch your channel because I'm a prepper, but happened upon this video because I have a serious pigeon problem. Never having lived in a city before, I was shocked by the number of rats here. Like you, I've had to also use a multi-faceted approach. I was already volunteering with a local cat rescue organization because thousands of these poor animals are thrown away like garbage here every year, so I've done lots of TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) & adoptions for tame cats, so I already had a few traps. I successfully used these on the gigantic city rats & keep a full-time, small managed colony of backyard cats to help with the rats. Now I'm ready to tackle the pigeons! Thanks!!!
I had a pigeon issue mainly because I feed natural birds not flying rats. My solution was two fold, buy a feeder that they could not get into, second locate where they were roosting which was under my rooftop A/C. the feeder is called the squirell buster and I used something called hot foot caulk, you can search and found both online.....put the hot foot gel down where they steped it is not be really hot but sticky. Within 4 days they were gone for good...also because they could not get the food from the feeder any more...when they landed there weight closed the feeding hatch, smaller birds are not affected
Pigeons are disgusting. Raccoons are very cute, yet destructive. Years ago raccoons killed my cat. How did you get the raccoons to move out of your attic?
@@AlaskaGranny It would be except my neighbors ARE the problem. He is the one that built a Pigeon roost two years ago in his yard and now he has about 15 of the nasty things. They fly free and land in my yard all the time. They have become bolder and now I am needing to try different things to keep them out of yard. I am disabled and have a helper dog and a Terrier and that is where they go out and play. I spent money to fence in my yard to keep his dogs out because he lets his dogs run loose and they crap in my yard. They still crap in my side yard, I did not fence off that area. But his pigeons are coming into my fenced area where my dogs play. This morning I hung out one of my old windbreakers on a hanger stuck in a pole. We shall see if that works. I did have a couple of bags tied to the fence but that only works when the wind is blowing. :( My neighbor is the biggest menace. Ron Williams in South Branch, MI ...anyone know him? He is not a nice man. There is not talking to him either. Oh and my 94 yr old mom lives with me and she likes to watch the song birds eating at the bird feeder outside our picture window, but these nasty pigeons have ruined that too!
My problem with pigeons is the weird loud sound they keep doing next to my window, and my neighbor keeps putting for them food all over the place so they keep coming in large numbers and fly all together very loud and annoying, loved your video btw
Omg hell no🤣I’d be having a talk with the neighbors. There are two that make those noises on my balcony currently and it’s ridiculously annoying. Trying to get them off of my balcony for good without killing them
Another one whose neighbours feed birds. The pigeons come for the crumbs that fall down from the hanging bird feeders that the neighbours have. Been complaining for years now!
@@AlaskaGranny Thanks. A bit harder to get rid of birds in towns. A bride renovation near me brought a wave of pigeons, not to mention some blessed souls actually feeding and encouraging these birds. Any progress on your side?
Here are a few methods in no particular order : get a hawk / falcon or small bird of prey that will scare them all away, or shoot a .22 air rifle at them eventually they get the message ( in UK its legal to kill them as they classed as vermin) put Pigeon spikes on roof ariel gutters etc and wherever they hang out, fix a weatherproof outdoor speaker onto roof area ( or anywhere they hang out ) and play loud noises / bangs randomly - they don't like sudden bangs.
I love animals, but the pigeons on my two story home are doing thousands of dollars of damage, its hard to implement most of these suggestions, to dangerous to get on the roof, Im starting to feel, killing them is the only alternative, I cant afford the damage they are doing.
Ive her having lots of firesin the firepit and that has scared away quite a few of them but like you said they dont all fall for the same traps so next im doing water balloond
I hate the repetative sound of this bird its irrational the hate for its sound God help me I look like a mad women banging my broom against my roof to chase it off it's on next door roof.. I think I died and one of those was on my chest doing iannoying sounds.. I hate that sound so much my dog knows when they go coo coo poodle looks at me and sais you going to sort that out. Yes Lucie I'm getting my broom and bang bang bang mad woman loose her self in anger over that sound dear God I hate your creation
Well science fact because of pigeons Bird diversity is decreasing And you can observe lot of bird spices that You saw in your childhood days now you don't see them easily anymore
So what did you do with them once you caught them all???? If we did that I am afraid we would have to drive them 3-4 States away & still hope they would not come back. Judi
Go Granny Go! I'm going through what you once were, but can't get on a ladder. They wake me up every morning by a flock landing on my ridgeline, above my bedroom. My only weapon so far has been rocks which I throw at them. At least now when they see me coming they fly away. Someone mentioned moth balls so I might throw a handful up on the roof and see what that does. I like your water balloon attempt, but it only give momentary satisfaction, on the same thought line, I was looking for a strong rubber band gun.
@Turbo I'm not into killing things - I'm the type of guy that captures indoor spiders and relocates them outside. Just want to make it uncomfortable for them to come around - scaring the shit out of them - and having a good laugh about it is were I'm at.
In the US squab was consumed more than any other bird before WWI. Pigeon is good eating, but because of misinformation like this video, people demonize pigeons as dirty.
They're so gross, we used to have really beautiful birds come and feed, but these fuckers have completely took over and scare the little ones away. They eat until there's not a grain left then eat my dogs food too
To all people saying don't hurt Pigeons, let me tell you you have not face the brutality of pigeons. They make your home so dirty and filthy that you have to wash your house from top to bottom twice everyday to clean their shit and still the bad smell doesn't go away. God pigeon are so stubborn, they lay eggs so fast and in anything (don't need nest) Edit : I am an animal/bird lover but now I hate pigeons.
lol so true. My balcony is filled with these stubborn birds. I am trying hologram or nylon nets - lets hope it works or may be I will put a raspberry pi project together to do automated sounds.
@@josur8181 tell me what works. I have tried reflective tape and decoratives but they're much effective. I will try Nylon net next. I am out of town right now.
@@smyureka3055 I tried something weird yesterday that seems to have worked. I usually just throw the sticks they bring in for nesting. I did it so many times but God they were so stubborn - they kept bringing it back. So yesterday, I scared them away and gathered all their sticks, put in a small box with mosquito repellant paper and burned it. I kept the box there. It seems to have scared them off and they haven't returned yet. I am not very proud of what I did, in fact feel so sad to burn their sticks but had to keep them away. I still dont know if it will work in the days to come, but let's see or else I will just put the net.
Ok to update for the 2nd day: No signs of pigeons anywhere near my balcony. So happy that it worked. I am just not sure whether just the burning of their sticks or burning of sticks with repellent paper or just the repellent paper was the reason. If it fails to keep them away for long, probably another idea I can think of just stick the repellent paper at different places in my balcony - may be they hate the smell of it or something.
I trust you moved these intelligent birds (for whom we are ultimately responsible -- they are a feral species that have served humanity in various ways for centuries) to a safe location. I trust you acted humanely.
I would imagine the rat trap killed them or maimed them outright! This is not a suitable solution at all. My pigeons drive me mad with their non-stop coooing, however I wouldn't wish harm on them.
You think she acted with humanity , my god she used a rat trap and tossed them in the garbage, I have the same problem, I just wash the mess with a hose.
@@steveb855 They are smart animals, scare them off enough and they'll learn. Besides, I have trouble picturing what sort of neurosis would cause a person to be bothered by birds on their roof. There are birds on every roof, is she going to complain about insects and moss as well? No respect for nature.
@@steveb855 Hilarious, you say nothing will convince me, and then you try to convince me... I've only ever heard of certain materials, like limestone, being corroded by pigeon feaces, so perhaps your neighbor should build with the standard materials like everybody else, because here in the UK we have pigeons everywhere and I have only ever heard of this issue once in my life, and it was regarding a historical site. As for your rainwater collection problem, why don't you take some initiative and foolproof it? I don't know why you are bringing up other bird species damaging your property, instead the blame would be better placed on the builder. I find it odd that you find pigeons to be culprit of all these issues; do you not think other birds produce waste? Are you going to go after every single species which happens to land on/fly over your property? The "rats with wings" comment is the cherry atop this absurd cake. Furthermore, according to the out of Africa theory, humans aren't native to America, and they certainly do more damage to the environment than any single species of bird, not to mention that I personally consider most humans to be selfish, arrogant, deceitful "rats on two feet" but I assume you would be upset if I trapped and killed you... but of course, you and your perfect little roof are more important for some arbitrary reason. The truth is, you use these animals as a means to an end, because instead of actually being productive, or using your brain to come up with an equitable solution for both parties, or even considering uncomfortable issues beyond your property line, you target your frustrations and need for validation at the 'big bad "rats with wings"' because they are easy to kill, aren't they? And you're doing such a service to the world every time you kill one, aren't you? Your poor excuses for pointlessly killing these animals fail to mask your laziness and your arrogance. In short, killing these animals is just a way for people like yourself to get a quick dopamine hit, and you make them the object of your malice because it is a socially acceptable way for you to feel like a superior being.
Hang old cd disks around your porch. The light reflecting makes them nervous. Also you can get bird spikes to lay down where they're trying to roost. This solved my problem with my covered porch. However, they're still all over the grass. I don't want them anywhere near me.
Probably from people who have no problem with pigeon feces and filth in they’re surroundings and look down on people who don’t share their love of living in or around squalor.
Ok, I kno this video is dated... however, I am AFRAID of birds of any size.... the pigeons are literally holding my outdoor fridge hostage.... got rid of the nests, but a few days later they return and rebuild.... we've done everything mentioned by Alaska Granny.... with less than stellar results.... I am unable to enjoy my backyard.... it seems they are inviting their friends & relatives....HELP!!!!!!
So you trapped some of them and disposed. Alright, then what? Rest of the flock of hundreds stopped visiting your home area just 'cuz some of their comrades were arrested by you?
Ha ha ha , owls are night predators, you need hawk decoys as they predate in the daytime. Doubt if any pigeon has ever seen an owl so they would not be scared by them!
Rocketninja200 give the cat a route to the roof. When the neighborhood cats were all young they would climb a tree next to my house to get on my roof. Never a pigeon in sight. Now that the cats are old and the ferile cats have been picked up by the city, I have to pressure wash mountains of pigeon poop from my roof monthly and my patio weekly.
Interesting approach. They are pests and are to be treated as such i dont see anyone crying over mic then again i imagine that killing mic is looked down at in some weak peoples minds
Walmart I returned mine..After a day the pigeons realize it's not a real owl and just ignore it. Some in our town was raising pigeons and let them go and they have adopted our property because my hubby feeds wild birds.Pigeons are flying rats. If I knew a way to poison all of them without poisoning the other wildlife I would kill them all. They crap all over my new roof
Had a major issue with pigeons as a kid. My dad and I had a competition of who could bag the most with the pellet gun. One year we planted our christmas tree and noticed that when it got taller, the pigeons all left. Never had a pigeon problem as long as the tall pine tree was there. I guess they don't like pine trees. Sadly, both options won't work at the new house. We do have an occasional falcon pay a visit and there is no pigeon, dove or grackel to be seen when the falcon is up there. Wish it would stay.

Okay i hate pigeons too, but the rat trap @AlaskaGranny .. too far, here in Greece you would get heavilly fined for doing such a thing, not mentioning how inhuman and painful it would be for the bird. Not to be a snowflake but they are also living creatures, able to feel pain and all.
@@Tabsway nature doesn't care, a pigeon would eat you if it could, they're a pest, i'm not gonna go and hunt for pigeons in a sadistic way but i have a problem and have no sympathy for them
@@DSoraK I don't understand the point of "nature doesn't care", interfering with it has sequences some minor some major, if you go and kill all the pigeons out there something else will rise and something will fall (then u end up with more problems than the ones u started with) maybe not having direct impact to you, but are you really that selfish? I understand you might not want them around you, I dont either, i have problems with them in my neighborhood too, but killing them is not the way bud plus its a hell of a work to go through. Killing stuff to fix your problems is never the way, you can use repelants which are not harmful to anything and fix your problems. What problem are you facing exactly?
I was having the worst problem with pigeons. poop everywhere. I threw uncooked rice out where they could get it. Had to do it twice but it got rid of them!
Xerai get a metal rod, make a bunch of little nooses and attach them to the rod, attach the rod to somthing so it can't move, sprinkle seed all over it and after a while you will catch birds, release the birds you like, take the pigeons somewhere far away
the conclusion : pigeons are aliens who have come to destroy earth with their poop.
Could be.
Fool cretin.
This is the most entertaining thing I’ve seen all day!
I hav a better idea.... i removed roof

hi Alaskagranny, can you recommend a good way to get rid of mice from my home? I've tried the poison bait and the snap and glue traps already.

I was cleaver , thank .
It seems they have no Predator except dogs or cat when the are injure this is in Puerto Rico
I bought a mini disco mirror ball from the. Dollar store & I'll see how that works.
aww be nice guys
Thanks!
u got it Granny lol
Are they back
No
:))))))) GONE WHERE !?!??!
just let me know, i can catch them, that's not an issue, but what do you do with them !? stew ?? :)))
What do you do with the pigeons once they are trapped?
*sound of gun cocking*
Hand grasping Louisville slugger
350°f for 90 minutes
Nvm. I figured it out. They're all dead.
This Alaska Granny is one beautiful woman.
Thanks for your kind words.
So which method worked best: The cage or the rat trap?
i suggest rotissary
My wife's cat does a great job of keeping them off the balconies. I'm still looking for a roof solution though.
Cats are a great deterrent. Maybe a stuffed toy cat on the roof? Some stuffed toys look like the real thing.
Rocketninja200 give the cat a route to the roof. When the neighborhood cats were all young they would climb a tree next to my house to get on my roof. Never a pigeon in sight. Now that the cats are old and the ferile cats have been picked up by the city, I have to pressure wash mountains of pigeon poop from my roof monthly and my patio weekly.
It is unbelievable how much they poop. Maybe get your neighbors a new kitten?
Cats are awesome they keep mice away too.
what?? You are trapping.?? terrible.
You are watching a video on how to get rid of pigeons. What is your solution?
Interesting approach. They are pests and are to be treated as such i dont see anyone crying over mic then again i imagine that killing mic is looked down at in some weak peoples minds
Alaska granny there are some unkind people below but really this isn't your best strength.
great video missy!
Very very nice Idea. ....
Glad you find my video helpful. Thanks for watching.
Where did u find the plastic owl?
I bought him at Cabela's. Here is a similar one on amazon. amzn.to/3dSxBX3
Walmart I returned mine..After a day the pigeons realize it's not a real owl and just ignore it. Some in our town was raising pigeons and let them go and they have adopted our property because my hubby feeds wild birds.Pigeons are flying rats. If I knew a way to poison all of them without poisoning the other wildlife I would kill them all. They crap all over my new roof
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching.
forget the piegeons what a gorgeous granny xx
Thanks for your kind comment.
We have pigeons in our horse barn. Going to suggest to hubby to get a trap!
I heard the Ultrasonic Devices work well, anybody used those? Do they actually work?
I have not tried them.
Well that was stupid
You didn't need to watch it.
Now that's a real bitter old bird. Talk about nasty birds on this video lmao too good
Had a major issue with pigeons as a kid. My dad and I had a competition of who could bag the most with the pellet gun. One year we planted our christmas tree and noticed that when it got taller, the pigeons all left. Never had a pigeon problem as long as the tall pine tree was there. I guess they don't like pine trees. Sadly, both options won't work at the new house. We do have an occasional falcon pay a visit and there is no pigeon, dove or grackel to be seen when the falcon is up there. Wish it would stay.
Thanks for sharing what worked for you.
Baba pigeons thanks for sharing I enjoyed
Thanks for watching, and good luck getting rid of those dirty birds.
Hi - How did you tie the fishing line to the beach ball?
Tie it to the blow up spout.
what happened to the trapped pigeons ?
It's alaska... She either ate them or fed them to stray cats..
why this is pigeon abuse
To all people saying don't hurt Pigeons, let me tell you you have not face the brutality of pigeons. They make your home so dirty and filthy that you have to wash your house from top to bottom twice everyday to clean their shit and still the bad smell doesn't go away.
God pigeon are so stubborn, they lay eggs so fast and in anything (don't need nest)
Pellet rifle. Its 100% guaranteed
Check your gun laws first.
@@AlaskaGranny It's Crazyfornia so illegal... everything is illegal..
i’m gonna try the rat trap method ! thank you alaska granny.
I hope you have the success you are searching for.
Okay i hate pigeons too, but the rat trap @AlaskaGranny .. too far, here in Greece you would get heavilly fined for doing such a thing, not mentioning how inhuman and painful it would be for the bird. Not to be a snowflake but they are also living creatures, able to feel pain and all.
who cares lmao it's a bird
@@DSoraK I care for living things around me and if they feel pain i would go off my way to help them. Not making sense to you or what?
@@Tabsway nature doesn't care, a pigeon would eat you if it could, they're a pest, i'm not gonna go and hunt for pigeons in a sadistic way but i have a problem and have no sympathy for them
@@DSoraK I don't understand the point of "nature doesn't care", interfering with it has sequences some minor some major, if you go and kill all the pigeons out there something else will rise and something will fall (then u end up with more problems than the ones u started with) maybe not having direct impact to you, but are you really that selfish? I understand you might not want them around you, I dont either, i have problems with them in my neighborhood too, but killing them is not the way bud plus its a hell of a work to go through. Killing stuff to fix your problems is never the way, you can use repelants which are not harmful to anything and fix your problems. What problem are you facing exactly?
@@Tabsway yes i am that selfish
Nice info
Thanks.
Did u kill them?
what did you use as bait on the mouse trap?
I used bread. I also used a rat trap, much larger than a mouse trap.
AlaskaGranny Thank you! You're a lovely lady.
You are welcome.
You need a proper slingshot with ball bearings!
Yes, but I did not want to damage the tile roof or solar panels.
Won’t the rat trap cut off there feet ouch.
They deserve it horrible creatures
I was having the worst problem with pigeons. poop everywhere. I threw uncooked rice out where they could get it. Had to do it twice but it got rid of them!
I have not tried rice. Thanks for the tip.
I would like to try the rice idea but wouldnt want to hurt the other birds in my garden. I only find the pigeons a menace
Xerai get a metal rod, make a bunch of little nooses and attach them to the rod, attach the rod to somthing so it can't move, sprinkle seed all over it and after a while you will catch birds, release the birds you like, take the pigeons somewhere far away
😂
