So this week-end Eddie became the Mad Scientist of Pidgeons. He hates pidgeons. Particularly in the desert, where the land on the roof to crap and coo. Then the wind and rain blows the pidgeon poop down near the pool.
So 2 weeks ago, Eddie goes up on the roof to clean off the poop. He was like a 4 hour ordeal; including like 12 inches deep in the very front. He finally got it all clean, but as we were levaing pidgeons were landing again.
So since then he order the Mad Scientist kit. This week-end he put the spikes all over the roof lines. He also got a "scarecrow" that shoots water at them when they land near the jaquzzi. He works and works. But then Hastings walks by the scarecrow and it shoots water and scares him. So Eddie turns it off. After a full day of working, Eddie sits inside. And looks out the window.
And, out the window, a pidgeon lands near the scarecrow (turned off now), and drinks from the Jaquzii. Ed curses loudly enough to be heard outside. And the pidgeon flaps off to land on our roof. But not on the spine, on the edge in the back, where they are no spikes. The Mad Scientist screams in frustration.
But today, all was well. Eddie watched as two pidgeons start to land on the fireplace. The pidgeons (never gracefull) has to pull up. Eddie laughed (in that mad-scientist laugh) as they had to pull up. ungracefully. As we pull away - no pidgeons on roof.
