Look, I won’t lie to you. You might never get rid of all the pigeons. They’re survivors. But you can win most of the battles. You can have a beautiful garden and peace of mind.
Just remember: you’re not cruel. You’re simply setting boundaries. And pigeons need boundaries like a toddler needs a nap. They’ll thank you later. Probably by pooping on your neighbor’s roof instead.
So go out there. Hang those CDs. Plant that mint. Embrace your inner garden guerrilla. And if you see a pigeon staring at you from a power line? Wave. Tell them you’ve got the upper wing—er, hand.
Now, refill your coffee. You’ve earned it.
