Foil repels pigeons

If you have an open balcony and birds are frequent visitors, this can be a bit of a nuisance. After all, cleaning up bird droppings over and over again is not a pleasant task.

To keep birds away from the balcony, you can use a fairly inexpensive tool like aluminium foil.

Experts advise attaching pieces of foil to the edge of the balcony. Aluminium reflects sunlight, which disturbs pigeons. It is believed that they "hate everything that shines". In addition, pigeons also hate the noise the foil makes when they land on it.
