Washed the windows at Trev Towers and of course within 24 hours I have the dirty outline of two wood pigeons on them. Stupid creatures. Can't they see something the size of a house and avoid it?!

Do you have net curtains? They always seem to hit Windows without them.

Pigeons main aim in life is to get inside our buildings and cr4p all over the place. I used to work in a production company making car parts and doors were open for forklift truck access, we used to have regular pigeon culls because they roosted in the roof and cr4pped over all the robots and tooling - nothing more than flying rats.....
