Live downtown and the pigeons are such a nuisance on my balcony. Lately I've got what looks like a mated pair, and they leave SUCH a mess.

The male one is massive, its like the rooster that fought Little Jerry, and his "leavings" more resemble a dog's it's so big. Disgusting.
Had a magpie land on my balcony the other day, think he was hunting for pigeons. I would really like to befriend him...

Owl statue or spinning reflective stuff might work better.
If you truly wanna try and befriend a magpie though, I believe the method is certain types of food and smaller bits of shiny stuff. Magpies I believe can recognize human faces, so if you tire of that magpie and piss it off trying to chase it away... you'll potentially regret it.
