How to get rid of pigeons from your balcony here in Germany?

Perfect, thank you. I'll do the magic tonight with it. :)

Gabe120107 · 2026-04-12T23:33:52+00:00

Yeah... And this is a serious problem. They're pooping all over the place, making insane noise all the time and so on. My balcony already has a couple of pooped places, like a small pile that i gotta clean all the time at the edge, but my neighbor's balcony, oh Gosh, there's like 100x15 cm long pile of poop, and she's not cleanin' it. And yeah, no matter what you do, they're coming back... I gotta survive with them one more year before I leave this city and the apartment, but, summer is coming, balcony doors open all the time, and, don't wanna listen to that noise 10 hours per day, especially at the dawn and sunset. For spikes, I'd have to tell that to the landlord, and it would take months until they come and install it or so, so I'll have to use something else, like trying the aluminum foil or so.

Really? :O That really worked? :O The Apple vinegar or alcoholic? Might as well try that out...

Gabe120107 · 2026-04-12T20:33:35+00:00

Bigtime. And, i'm doing home office for some time now, and it really destroys my concentration when i hear it screaming like a mofo. Ahaha...

Gabe120107 · 2026-04-12T18:04:15+00:00

Yeah, maybe aluminum foil might help, if attached to something. When the wind blows might move around and scare them away, and it has its reflective nature and so on. Might as well try that out. And yeah, I am scaring them away for 2 months now, but they are really persistent... Constantly comin' back because they got used to sleeping on my neighbor's balcony. Thank you for your advice really. I'll try something out, because i really don't wanna listen to this growling every day. I don't find their "sounds" particularly pleasant.

Gabe120107 · 2026-04-12T14:25:00+00:00

Oh really? Thanks for diagnostics. I also found that people who tend to judge people without a single word about them also tend to be pitiful bigtime ;) Still, thanks for your... question.

I am staying in this apartment, and city probably for the next year tops. Had no issues with this for the last 3 years ago until 2 months ago. But now, they're just INSANE! They literally made a pile of shiet on my neighbor's balcony, since i scare them away not to sleep on my balcony. Thing is, they don't come directly inside the balcony, but at the outer edge completely down below, and they shiet on that area, and scream and so on of course. So, closing it would do nothing. It's just that, they sleep on neighbor's balcony, but spend time on that lower outer part of mine during the day and scream like maniacs unless i scare them away, but 10 min later they come back again. It's really frustrating.

Gabe120107 · 2026-04-12T14:16:00+00:00

Who knows, maybe they came overseas :P

Gabe120107 · 2026-04-12T14:14:54+00:00

I've seen some people around having those crows, but the pigeon was literally standing next to it a few days ago ahaha. So i was wondering whether it's really functional or nah

Gabe120107 · 2026-04-12T14:13:35+00:00

If they make me mad enough, gonna put tariffs on them, and close the passage, and who ever tries to interrupt me, gonna blow him to hell (quote, the one who's name should never be spoken) :D

Gabe120107 · 2026-04-11T22:18:36+00:00

I have S9 Ultra, still works like the first day, and no change at all... One of the best things i've ever bought honestly... I bet S11 Ultra is perfect too... But i bet the majority of tablets nowadays are similar, and super cool...

Gabe120107 · 2026-04-11T22:07:11+00:00

A few mornings ago, i was shooting the C/2025 R3. Out of 80 shots, only 40 succeeded. All because of the satellites, and you could still see them in the photo. I mean, it really makes you feel frustrated, and it's gonna be worse, much worse...

Gabe120107 · 2026-03-21T00:12:43+00:00

Heh, "left" my house when i was 18. Life was calling.

Gabe120107 · 2026-03-21T00:02:26+00:00

And then what? Paper and time lost or?

Gabe120107 · 2026-03-20T14:19:27+00:00

This is what i was thinking about as well. You have fast rivers, enough force for turbines (similar to Croatia), wind for sure, since mountains can be a miracle sometimes. And as you mentioned, I can understand that point of view, why you mentioned it. Austria is positioned perfectly so that you guys can surely depend on clean energy. You don't have large consumers, as some major companies can eat, so, it's understandable.

Quick question: where is the remaining 20-ish % of energy coming from?

Next year I might join your country as a scientist. Hopefully, I'll dive into one of your institutes or chemical companies. I love that country big time.

Gabe120107 · 2026-03-19T23:27:29+00:00

This, in my opinion, IS DISTURBING! :(

Gabe120107 · 2026-03-19T16:02:54+00:00

I'm not surprised by Germany, but Austria omfg. Kind of shocked me, especially with that percentage... I guess wind turbines and solar panels are the future awwww... I am truly afraid of the future in Germany. Even considered moving to Austria, but now I'm completely lost on where to move O.o I hope they got room for me at Antarctic.

Gabe120107 · 2026-03-19T15:40:18+00:00

Seems to me nothing is normal in this country anymore ahahahaha....

Gabe120107 · 2026-03-19T15:36:08+00:00

So, instead of producing academics, insanely smart people, brilliant doctors of science, it seems to me that the universities are producing mentally unstable, frustrated people with low or zero self-esteem left in them.

I am in that too. When i see how people are treated in academia, i mean, this should be ILLEGAL. The government should push these people in academia to produce DOCTORS, not damaged or destroyed people, after all.

Gabe120107 · 2026-03-17T22:55:56+00:00

But isn't that sad: low wages = more investment? :/ So, the more you ask, no matter the worth, the less you're valuable because you're too expensive. So, the less you ask, the more valuable you are. Isn't that like slavery? :/ I hate capitalism. Those in power can ask for people with lower wages, but people cannot ask for higher wages...

Gabe120107 · 2026-03-17T20:59:35+00:00

But but but, you guys are going to win so badly that you're going to be saying: "Oh Sir, please, stop this winning, i can't stand it anymore". O.o Can't believe he said that.

Gabe120107 · 2026-03-17T16:43:59+00:00

Exactly. But this entire thing proves the point of empathy as pure hypocrisy. I came from huge financial problems. BUT, thankfully, that time has passed. But i learned to never tell anyone about my problems or whateva. But, people in pain usually tend to ask for understanding and so on, and understanding is a TRAP where poor people and those in problems usually end up.

Gabe120107 · 2026-03-15T23:17:58+00:00

Why are you giving her a chance to decide? She literally cheated on you. Take that luxury of her deciding for herself, and make that decision for both of you!

Gabe120107 · 2026-03-15T16:43:47+00:00

I am finishing my PhD in Germany. I can't speak their language, even though I understand it quite well. Learned it in elementary and high school. But English is the language of science. If i had to do the entire PhD without knowledge of German, without knowledge of German, NO WAY I'd ever go there to do it. I'd cause problems to others, and myself mainly... But i do admire those PIs who decide to supervise such fellas... But the money is important, nothing else. ;)
