You are FANTASTIC man!!!! It is working! You save me!!! The balcony is clean now! 10++

We have had an awful time this year with pigeons perching and pooping on the windowsill. This idea is fantastic. Thanks so much for posting Tony.....works like a charm!

This tip works! Thanks for this video! I live in a Canadian city with lots of pigeons and over a month into trying this technique, I've gone from pigeons living on my balcony & my next door neighbour's balcony (very filthy...a perfect habitat for pigeons) to pigeons steering clear. They try to land once or twice a week, usually leaving quickly on their own. The mess is gone and I didn't have to resort to expensive, ugly spikes.

lol !!! yes it still works, the light will reflex in the plastic and the wind from the wings will make them move... It's been over two years and now I kind of miss them...:)

My neighbors laughed when they saw me putting up the lines, I actually heard someone holler out, "Its not gonna work." Well they were wrong, your solution is working so well that many of my neighbors are stopping to stare, they can't believe the way the pigeons suddenly change direction when coming in for a landing on my terrace. I live in an apartment building and had no poles to attach the fishing line to so I purchased the Gorilla Tape to tape it to the cement wall and then to the terrace railing. My only concern is how long the tape will hold. Other than that, thank God, NO MORE PIGEON POOP!!! Thank you so much for this solution!

I only wished you had zoomed out or drew a picture so we can better see how your configured the lines on your balcony but thank you for sharing your wonderful idea on how we can humanely combat this common problem.

I know of a similar method, where farmers just keep a twisted reflective ribbon on the perimeter of their farms to keep birds away. Though unsightly, I was thinking of doing the same to my balcony, till I came across your video. Ingenious.

This really does work guys! I did this for the popout over my garage and it's been a week already, and no pigeons!

Hi tonylogon, i tried your method and its been a week now. No pigeons or mynas has landed on the usual roosting area. You ought to be nominated for a nobel price .... seriously! Mike - Singapore

Hello Tony. Using you method I have not seen pigeons for 4 days. Great solution. Thanks Sam

Thank you so much for your video and advice. This has saved my life! My balcony is clean from all their nasty droppings and most importantly my sleep is not interrupted in the morning! For some reason they are scared to land on the balcony railing and just land elsewhere. I sure don't miss them. Thanks!

Ah I could’ve saved splattering pigeon all over my walls

Excellent idea Tony! And similar to mine. I tied bits of aluminium cooking foil at intervals, which is rather more visible, less discreet than your fishing line ends. And it works, I get no pigeons on my window ledges now. (Please excuse my 'grammar police' comment here: the word THERE is wrong a couple of times in your introduction. They're and their...) Bravo for the video clip.

I'm. Definitely doing this now. These darned pigeons just took over my home 😢😢🙄

Tony, I can't thank you enough for this video. I tried all of the other options for getting a very messy pigeon from visiting my apartment patio. I tried scaring him, I shot him with a super soaker water gun (which was particularly satisfying for me), and most recently I tried to deter any visits by scattering some strong-smelling garlic powder, which had no effect on the bird. But I haven't seen that bird since the fishing line went up. Thanks again!

Great idea! Thank you for a humane way to keep pidgeons away! 💗

THIS WORKS. I have a 2nd-floor balcony and had tried other things, but this, fishing line with loops of fishing line hanging down, some in loops and some just knotted and hanging loose, freaked the bird and after a few attempts to walk next to the line, he LEFT. I didn't hang any ribbon or anything on it where he could see it, and I'm leaving it for a few days to make sure he doesn't come back.

Well done Tony! humane, and no way could a bird be harmed by this, if applied correctly.

SMART GUY! I you make me laugh with your graphics 😂😂😂

This really looks promising. Just got off the phone with an expert who told me that it would cost me anywhere from $500-1,000 to solve my pigeon problem. I need a really high ladder to do this so I'm looking for a handyman who can help me hang it. Will keep you posted as to the results. Thanks for posting.

No it has to be clear or transparent, if you are taking about light "blue' then yes it is transparent. It is important to have the pigeon confused and it has to be so it can not figure out what it is, so it will not land.

Now you made me day, walking on air.. I do these videos to help out my Friends on KZfaq...:)

Fantastic, no Pigeons for 4 days! WOW!!!

Good video. You can tie a knot in the main line every few inches instead of using glue.

Simple, costless and effective thank you

Please keep me informed, remember the wing span....:) please make sure the main lines are firm and both ends are tied , also the side bows are not more the 1 foot apart.. Tony

This looks very simple, which fits my capabilities. Am going to try it.

My neighbor feeds birds by tossing bird seed onto the ground. Then he goes off to work. It pisses me off because of the pigeons I can't hang my clothes outside on hot days. I'm going to try your technique hopefully it works.

May work for you, but I find a catapult and round boiled sweets as ammo pretty good. A direct hit from a boiled sweet doesn't kill them, but they don't come back so it must have a good effect.

My neighbora have 40+ bird and squirrel feeders and frequently set out fruits and peanuts. Considering their small backyard, the birds and squirrels leave their crap and shella of nuts EVERYWHERE. great video, i just hope it works!!

I cant thank you enough for this amazing idea. It really solved my problem

Great tip , thanks!!!. I'm having the same problem with pigeons on my windows ledge. Will try your method and see how it goes. Cheers !!.

This worked really well until apartment owners did not want ANYTHING attached to railings so had to take them down. A year later the pigeon population has tripled and some have nested on the roof right above my bedroom. At 4:00 in the morning the noise starts and it off and on all day. They land on the railings again. Any suggestions for some type of lotion to spread on railing that does not attract ants.

Great i will try it..... sounds good..

Thanks I own already to many Companys and as you can see this one keeps me real busy. Now it woild make a great Company...For this works....:)

I am going to try this! We live in Oaxaca Mexico and there is a balcony outside my daughter´s room where a couple of pigeons come and coo in the morning which is a problem on the weekend when they wake her up when she is trying to catch up on sleep. Let´s see if the Mexican pigeons have the same fears!!

Plastic owls / whirligigs/ spikes are only temporary remedies as the pigeons become accustomed to these things and will eventually ignore the plastic owl and the whirligigs and fly over the railing spikes to land on the balcony floor. The sure way is to enclose the balcony with a nylon net that prevents birds squirrels and other pests from making a mess on your balcony. Someone feeding the wild life is another problem and hard to catch them at it.

Well it has worked for me for almost a year now...:) . If you a lot of the birds, make the lines closer together and add more cross ties...Let me know what happens...Tony

How about night time does this work? Coz I try to use reflective tape which does scare away Pigeon during daytime but it is not effective during night time coz no light to reflect so the problem come back during night time. Pls advise. Thank you.

I'm looking forward to trying this out, thanks for the vid. Will be updating you shortly.

No they are now trained not to come...I still see the ugly netting and one neighbour was even trying to hit them with a broom...So I posted a note in my Condo. to help everyone and we reduced the trouble by 70%, only the one without this film wire still have the problem...:)

Thanks for this great video i am also fed up with peigon shitt around my balcony . I will definitely get rid of them without hurting them

Tony, how would you suggest attaching this across the peak of a roof? A few of my neighbours have problems with pigeons nesting under their solar panels and they like to coo on the roof above my bedroom at 5.30am most mornings!

got it thanks! will do that. Do you still see them approaching your place or they got their lesson? ;)

120 days now and no Pigeons :)

I am going to try this one 😊 because l am going crazy pigeons are annoying and too noisy summertime is suffering time for me l can't use my balcony Thank you for sharing this information Blessings ☺️

That you so much Tony for doing this. But what happens on days with no wind? Will the pigeons detect the wires as well and it will still scare them off?

Looks like a solid idea but I don't have anything to tie the strings too. Goddamn shitbirds

Love it! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾❤❤❤❤

Man i love you :) ...got like 30 of them pooping all over my stuff now they are gone ..next bulding hah. I got a gamo rifle ...but didnt want to kill them tnx again!

HI Tony, I just saw your video. I have tried many things and they go away for a little while and then return. The sound machines don't work. the flare paper doesn't work. They poop all over my backyard patio, on my chairs, tables and bbq. I will try it and see if it works. How do i set it up on trees? They are all over my back trees.

Thank you, it worked. :)

i bought a water gun they just fly and come back again,bought also airsoft gun but my son told me it's not allowed in the city.Definitely i will try this on weekend.thanks for the tip Sir..

Can I know...does it matter how thick or thin the fishing line is?

hello, i like your video very much. would you mind telling me if your trick works with a colored fishing line? i'm sick and tired of all the dirt they create.

yeah it worked! go ahead and try it out. good luck!

I put about 1 foot between them for that is about the center of there wings span, and the cross trying makes them more confused for the bird can not figure out what it is in flight and will not land.

It worked for 2 weeks. Again started landing on my balcony. They will not come only if we use the balcony frequently

What effect does this have on the other birds?

Will try this tomorrow and see how it works out.. will share feedback on it..

This is so awesome! I am going to try it. I will let you know how it goes, might be a good business we could start together, lol.

Thanks for this video does this have to cover most of the balcony or is one across just enough to deter them ? They have made my life a misery I have a flat with a balcony on a courtyard and the sound of them brooding in the summer mornings in particular drives me potty as the sound is amplified around the area. Total pests !

How can I use this method on the roof?

thats how i deal with my grandparents problem haha(:

Just netted my balcony cost rs 3000 or 54 dollars. Still they come get inside the netting then I must let them out or they will die. Will try ur video suggestions looks very promising and cheap. Thanks u should market this idea, u would get rich.

You guys reckon this will work with other smaller birds compared to pigeons. I'm definitely doing this for the pigeons but I do have another set of birds whove decided to take over my second balcony and yes keep pooping.

i would love to see a video of the birds coming into land on a ledge with this line on it !!!!.

You are a genius

Not reporting anymore, all the Pigeons are not landing anymore on my Balconey, but I still see them all around, everywhere landing on others balconey. I see all the others throwing water and banging a broom on the railings to scare them. I have to post something to help them, at least to watch my video.... :)

hi this looks good, what does the contact cement do on the fishing line? And is it ncessary to get a transparentn fishing line? thanks

And also horisontal one, is that right? So hard to understand, could you make a picture, please!

Thank you so much!

I tried something like this last summer and it did not work. They still went through it, landing on my balcony to the point that I can no longer use my balcony at all.

Why ? The ugly net, this works for 1 1/2 years and no Pigeons, but they are still all around, at my neighbours... I helped some out here and now they have no more problem. Well if you like netting then go for it....

30 days now and no sign of Pigeons.

"Pigeons, Get Rid Of Them" "How to". "KZfaq First" !! Ever have the problems of Pigeons on your balcony or windows. I came up with a method that has been test by me and it works. The Pigeon when it is landing, won't land unless it has a clear open area, for when it sees something that he can not figure out, the bird will not land, thus he keeps away......Not reporting anymore, all the Pigeons are not landing anymore on my Balcony, but I still see them all around, everywhere landing on others balcony. I see all the others throwing water and banging a broom on the railings to scare them. I have to post something to help them, at least to watch my video.... :) It's been now over two years and no Birds, put I found out that after time the line in the sun and winter broke off. So I came home one day and saw the birds on my balcony and then I discovered the line down. So you have to check it at least once and awhile. Once I replaced the line with a new one, all the birds disappeared again

Is this Nowa Huta in Cracow? I'm struggling with pigeons in this district and will give this method a try:)

hi Tony, I wish I saw ur video earlier. I'm gonna try it. do u think transparent nylon threads used for craft will work?

Hi! Thanks so much for the great idea. I actually chanced upon your video, thankfully BEFORE buying the costly bird spikes. I do not have cement glue. Would a hot glue gun do the job? Thanks again :)

there, they're their........

Hi! Have You tried this method? Does it work? Thank You for Your answer. Best regards

thk u i am afraid to go on my balcony bc they are landing and so close, i will try this right away

ok i'll buy a transparent one, thank you very much!

lol !!!

thank you , it really works

Can you please share the link where I can buy this transparent tape ? Thank you!

My pidgeons is too smart for this.

wau...u r great......really worked for me...................thanx

Will this work with all birds? To keep them out of garden?

haha nice

Step 1 get pet hawk step 3 put bird food in in friends yard

Good afternoon Thank you sir I will try couse the pigeon keep coming n dirty all my kitchen balcony

it works wonder, thanks

Does this work near bird feeders. I like to feed the sparrows etc but the pigeons are a bit of nuisance.

Hey where u live at can I try to catch them and keep them so that they can stay away from you house?????

Does the line have to be transparent?

Pigeon free 2 days. Thanks

What about smaller birds like sparrows or Juncos?

I need to do 40 meters... sooo... how can i do with that method?

Can you make a video of about how to attract pigeons?
