Pigeon Trap

In our neighborhood in North Tempe we have a serious pigeon problem. This is a new issue and it is the talk of our street. We are very close with all of our neighbors, it is like the 1950’s here and we are all curious about why now, how and what to do about it. There are owls on rooftops and porches and talk of BB guns versus pellet guns, traps and other ideas I just shouldn’t speak of.  So when I saw this beautiful Antique Pigeon Trap I was seriously tempted but then I thought it is too pretty to let those pests in. I like the idea though so we’ll see . . .
