I don't know if this helps but I just read this, doesn't seem to be any quick fixes.

There are also some ideas in the comments below like dishwashing soap. But that would be a pain to have to put on your roof.

Haha I can picture you all in camouflage with your face painted stalking pigeons from the bushes.

If I can train them to not shart on my beautiful stone tile roof, they can stay. By the amount of Caw caw poo poo on my office window ledge... they aren't trained.
I fear they will be pooping allover the Solar Panels, which will only be on the back of the house. So, I predict they will hang out on the front of the house and fly out over the panels leaving their nastiness behind.

Here in Oklahoma....if we don't want it around we just shoot it
I don't know if that will be the answer. I can't shoot them off other people's houses. Won't they just fly over there until they feel it's safe and fly back to mine eventually.
Even on my own roof it may not be possible. It's a long shot and I wouldn't want to risk hitting the roof tiles or the office window they are under.

They make these kind of things
http://www.birdbgone.com/products/bi...ne-super-sonic
I knew someone that had the issue with them roosting in the barns on their place. They got something like that that also came with a laser so you could hit them with it and it would scare them off if the sound wouldn't work but thats mostly for scaring them out of roosts where they would hide but at least it gives you the satisfaction of have the shooting experience

And then you would have to deal with the corpses. You might try to lure them somewhere else with bird seed, get them used to another area maybe?

I'm not opposed to shooting them on the sly..... I just think the surroundings will be more at risk than the pigeon.
Maybe I could dart them Get one of those hollow sticks.....
It's sad that you're so willing to kill an animal...but I guess it doesn't matter too much if you kill it since David Blaine can bring them back to life...

Pigeons are more nuisance than good. When we were kids my brother raised a bunch of them. When he got older and wasn't looking after them like he should my old man had me turn them loose. They took up residence in the palm trees around our house, 3 of them had never had the old palms cut off and there was ivy growing in them. Turned out to make quite the bird hotel. We did have a constant source of target practice.

if everyone ate sqab, eventually there would be no more pidgeons.
ewww, I feel for you. Those things are nasty, especially their droppings. There is a town somewhere, the pidgeons overtook and area and everything is super coated with poops. yuck.

They adapt to city life better than their predators and become over populated. Their droppings, which end up everywhere, carry diseases that are transmittable to humans.
