I had a pigeons nest in one of my houses under construction. Tried as I did to scare them away, they would not leave. Fearing that they'd get boarded in when the vapor barrier went up, I had to eliminate them. The trusty pellet gun took care of that in fine fashion. I kinda felt like a hypocrite though. After going to lengths to save a nest full of robins in the same house, I went and killed the pigeons. But it served 'em right. One day I was walking around the house checking the framing and one of the buggers started flapping around me. I had a hammer in my hand and the sudden noise scared the bejesus out of me and I almost hit myself in the head with the hammer. It was then that I knew that I would kill the f'ers.
