No, its actually a pigeon net (not to capture them, althought I am sure I could sell them at the many non North American restraunts within walking distance )

Durring the summers I have a severe pigeon infestation problem on my balcony, they crap all over my awesome weber bbq, make nests, etc.

I asked the condo mtce guy to remove the nest, both years he refused as he said it would be in humane to kill the birds. 1 year I went out when it was raining and threw the balcony onto a parked car below. This last year the mother or mothers would swoop at me, one actually clipped my head with her wing. So I paid an exterminator to remove it.

That was the last straw. I purchased this net from the states over the summer they use for gardening to keep out birds and the like and I will be putting it around my balcony. I have kind of a corner unit so Its relatively easy to isntall. I wont be attaching anything to the condo specifically (basically plastic tie to wood boards that are plastic tied to my balcony but I am expecting to go to the mattresses with the board over it as I made a half suggestion about it at our last meeting and was as they say shot down in flames over it.

I spoke with a corporate lawyer where I work, he said that I should be on good ground putting it up as the condo board's representative (mtce guy) refused to remove the nest, and sicne the City to consider pigeons to be pests and can be killed, and that the balcony is common property its up to the condo board to deal with it. They havent so I am.

No pigeon has been at my place since the last nest was removed so maybe they know not to frack with me, but if they do the net goming up. Its now a religion, when I get home, i shower, change, and check my balcony for pigeons.
