Nobody can possibly understand how much I fcuking hate pidgeons. There are a few who roost on the walls of the flats where I live and wake me up every sodding morning at 6am.

Their time is drawing to a close, I'm currently looking at a number of ways of bringing their god forsaken flea ridden vermin sh1t for brains lives to an end.

You know you can by special spiked strips, the coucil use them, it stops them roosting.

Or just shoot them.

I was told once that it's because they stand in their own caustic sh!t. They basically rot off. Not sure how true it was.

I also hate seagulls, 'cos I live in the seafront, so I get fcuking pidgeons on the pipes half way up the walls and seagulls shrieking from the chimney pots. Arrgghh! Definitely time to go on the offensive.

A black widow catapault using 9mm lead ballbearings should take care of the ****ers. Used to do it myself at my parent's old house, only neeed to do it a couple of times a year, they'd **** off pretty quickly after a good barrage and a few hits...

Ah! .. So I am not the only one !! I hate magpies. These have to qualify as the no.1 loud birds on the planet (bar the essex birds that drink at my local).

A lunatic fella I met while traveling in Oz got very hacked off with the noisy seaguls while a bunch of us were relaxing and topping up on our UV quota on the beach. So casually puting his king size Jamacian Malboro to one side he flung himself at the birds & got hold of one, then shouted the loudest squarks you could ever hear in its ears, while pulling a 'gurning face' and showing the sea rat his manic face and fang like teeth, before shouting that if it came back he would eat it, then he let it go. We didnt see another seagull all day!!!

Oh how I laughed!

Not that I've ever tried this, but legend has it that, because pidgeons have no way of "releasing gas", getting them to eat AlkaSeltzer will actually make them explode.

Messy, but effective..

Interesting fact about those spikes.

According to the contractor who fitted some for me single spikes work in the north but in London the pigeons have worked out how to stand with a foot either side and wake up when they lower their body on to the spikes. We had to use triple angled spikes to keep the birdies at bay.

Or was the contractor taking the p?
