I wanna STOP pigeons landing on my trampoline

IClaudius

They poo EVERYWHERE and it;s driving me mad!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Anyone tackled a similar problem and been successful ?

Do you have an enclosure? We have a large trampoline, but we have the net enclosure and nothing has ever landed, or got onto it (apart from the kids!). Failing that the only thing I can think of is tying shiny bits of ribbon over the edge so that they are scared off, but I know pigeons are tufty birds and not much scares them!! Worth a try?

We also have an enclosure. We don't get birds on the trampoline but they can still aim well enough!

sorry, I should have been cleraer.

We have an enclosure and net surround. It is the supports that they land on and then they leave lots of nice mucky packages constantly.
They also mate on there, which is nice.....NOT!!!!!

Yuck! Sorry, i've been fortunate enough not to get that.

Maybe you need to stick plastic hawks on top of your trampoline lol (Sorry, not funny!)

Thats illegal, only approved pest control guys can shoot pigeons.

It is possible to buy anti bird landing spikes, they are mainly used on buildings on window ledges to stop birds landing on them.

just get the shortest peice you can on ebay and cut it up in to 2 inch long peices and stick it to the top of each pole. search for bird spkies.

EDIT
this is the shortest I could find 1m long for £9 inc postage

another one
B&Q £5 for 4 m

Tie some ripped-up pieces of supermarket bags to the top of the poles. When they rustle in the wind it scares them away. It works on my veggie patch!

thanks to you all. LittleJohn, am now going to get the spikes. Thanks so much for that
