Thursday Barks And Bytes - Our Pigeon 'Scarecrow (?)'

***WARNING: Pigeon Faeces Pics***

Recently, our garden has been a real Pigeon party place. Meaning more dollops of that horrible Pigeon poop. Meaning more upset doggy stomachs for Earl. The truth is, he LOVES rolling in, and most of all eating, Pigeon poop! 

So we've created a very plain but so far effective 'scarecrow' to keep the Pigeons out.

Just a polystyrene flag type thing!

Why? These collages will give you a little bit more info on exactly WHY…

In fact, while we were taking these shots in the garden, Earl took a sneaky bite and swallowed that exact piece of poop himself. Bearing in mind the concept of GETTING RID of this hazard, I was practically boiling over. I didn't show it, of course. If there aren't any pigeons to make the poop in the first place, this wouldn't happen.

Now obviously it isn't really the dog's fault - most dogs are inclined to eat and roll in poo and the like, instinctively. And the birds need to poo. So its nobody's fault, really… you just need to help prevent the occurrence if its causing problems.

But if its there, Earl will make it his duty to rid of it in the most filthy possible way. Unfortunately.

So now Earl helps to stand guard against these unwelcome garden visitors...

But muuum - I love chasing pigeons!

Yes, I know you do Earl.

Can you spot the unwelcome garden visitor Earl is happily chasing here?!

Bird faeces can give dogs bad stomachs and cause discomfort to that area. It is a filthy habit to get into, and should be prevented as much as possible by the owner.

So we'll see how this works and give you a pupdate in a couple of weeks time!
