Ok, another quick question before I collapse into bed ...
The pic a couple of posts back of the front of our new home? See the short, peaked roof over the front door?
Frakking f*cking pigeons have a nest up there!!
Suggestions, please, on how do I get rid of those feathered rats and keep 'em from returning?

We put up plastic owls. You have to make sure they can move slightly in the breeze though. Put them around the roof areas if you can.
You can drill a hole in the head areas and hang the owls on the gutters by hooks. Or you can use wire to tie them to the gutters by drilling small holes in the gutter siding, up around the top.
They're not perfect but they will help.

Buy a big cat, put its food bowl nearby and wait.

Are they on a ledge or inside a vent or opening?

You might find something similar at your local Lowe's or Home Depot.
