How to Keep Pigeons Away from Garden

How to Keep Pigeons Away from Gardenの実践テクニックを分かりやすく案内します。どなたでも必見の内容です。

Pigeons are lazy. They prefer an easy meal. So, remove their food sources. Don’t leave pet food outside. Cover your compost bin with a tight lid. Pick up fallen fruit and seeds promptly.

If you have a bird feeder for songbirds, use a weight-activated feeder that closes when a heavier pigeon lands. It’s like a bouncer for your backyard—only the lightweights get in.

And here’s a weird one: plant pigeon-repelling herbs. Mint, lavender, and rosemary smell lovely to us but confuse pigeons’ little bird brains. Plus, you get free herbs for dinner—multitasking at its finest.

Water Features? Think Twice

Pigeons love a good bath almost as much as they love your broccoli. If you have a birdbath, empty it for a few weeks or add a floating plastic owl. Or put a spiky mat on the edge—ouch for their feet.

Better yet, replace the birdbath with a solar-powered fountain. Moving water scares pigeons, but it’s visually delightful for you. Talk about a win-win.
