This is an idea to try in a large flat public area that has an Alfred-Hitchcock-number of pigeons, such as Trafalgar Square, and many other places.
The Pigeon Positioner is a motorized dispenser that hurls birdseed in patterns. Spirals, concentric circles, even shapes are possible with a spinning
mechanism. A fancier computer-controlled version could spell words and draw pictures. The birds line up with the fallen seed, and form the patterns.

Could your seed scatterer fling seeds under car wheels, Fed-Ex trucks or under pile drivers? [+] As much as I loathe pigeons, this idea rocks [+] |

//with their constant droppings?// |
|
| |
Say... what about making an elevated rail, shaped like [image in question], and removed when enough droppings are accrued? |
|
| |
You could poke someones eye out hurling bird seed about. |

THE BOIDS ARE CALLING ME! ... no, really, look ... |
|
| |
Oooh, you could marshal them into a neat fan pattern .... right in front of a Claymore mine ..... |
|
| |
could you put maybe arsenic or bleach or perhaps amonia in the seed? i dont care for pigeons much either. |
|
| |
one time while i was in italy, i cuaght a pigeon. and some lady came up and started beating me with her purse. |
|
| |
I remember, there was a half-brick in there.. |
|
| |
[po] you don't have family in Italy, do you?! hehe ... flogging the halfbakers and all. |

Stev3: you like st3f's cousin or something?
Space-Pope: I once had a surreal experience in Trafalgar Square, when I caught two pigeons that had become entangled in a piece of string. The surreal part was finding someone with a knife to cut the string: eventually I found a kilted Scotsman who had one strapped to his leg. |
|
| |
Maybe you could do that at a chicken farm. Then the design would be white & fluffy! |
|
| |
And the annoying thing is once you call them doves it's all lovey dovey. And they're still rats with wings. |

Trafalgar Square //A conceptual artist who once asked a friend to shoot him in the arm in the name of art, and one who exhibited a refrigerated cast of his head made using nine pints of his own blood, are among sculptors shortlisted to create a work of art for Trafalgar Square's vacant fourth plinth// what rubbish! |

Its gonna be a pigeon or a feral kat! |
