Those dreadful pigeons

We have a rather odious pigeon problem at our apartment. They come and roost on our balcony railing and crap all over the place. It's really disgusting and one must chip the stuff off - it doesn't come off in the rain.

My question, dear readers, is - how does one scare off the dirty birds, keep them away? All and any suggestions are appreciated!

Before condemnation of those winged rats, you may consider another approach. Attract more and harvest the guano. Great fertilizer. There won't be enough for industrial agriculture, but I bet you could get a pretty penny from the earth friendly yuppies in the area. Might be able to partially fund you education. Not to mention, there may be subsidies available to American guano farmers.

Barring that, I hear shotguns are effective, but Arlington probably has an ordinance against discharge...scarecrow?

good luck,
