Or, I’m gonna tar those feathers! When we were having all the little odds & ends of work done on the house, one of the things I had the contractor do is put pigeon spikes on top of our bedroom A/C. They seemed spaced out very nicely & I was confident that we had effectively put an end to hearing the click, click, click of claws against metal as the walked on the air conditioner.
I was smug about this. I looked across to my neighbor’s A/C where they had a nice little nest going there. “Ha! I won’t have to worry about that!” Or so I thought. There is a little space between some of the spikes. It’s small; maybe 3″. Apparently that’s all the little pest needed.
Today I spent a lot of time walking up and down the stairs, going into my bedroom to chase it off the A/C. I think the stupid bird finally got the message because it hasn’t returned yet since the last chase-down, over an hour ago. What I would like is a water gun type thing. Something that shoots tar out. That’d fix it.
Lacking that, I guess it’s time to order more spikes and hire someone to get up on a really tall ladder and close out that space.
