The above is not the name of a movie.
Not.. unless you count my Sunday morning and a part of early noon story today as a movie!
Well I had to get a Pigeon Netting done behind one of my AC in a slightly inaccessible position.
I got the pigeon net expert but he refused to do the installation.
Then I got hold of two other folks who did the job, albeit with some initial reluctance.
All this followed by the Covid times extra and maddening sanitation.
A total of 3 to 4 hours gone!
Yet it was vital as pigeons are becoming big pests in cities!

Sometimes I open my Balcony doors in the morning and a pigeon flies close to my head! I have to evade it !!

Just kidding! But if some spicy news reporter were to get hold of such a thing, he or she would have talked about conspiracy angles, who asked pigeon to fly over someone's head and so on!!

They like places where there is a concrete slab surrounding the back of AC.
Like what we have.
So do they trouble you in the garden?

In one of our previous accommodation, we jad a washing machine in a balcony where pigeons used to come and many young ones also used to born there.
Obviously it was not a very beautiful place!

They can be a source of infections as well. So it needs extra cleaning or measures like Netting.

Good that you got it done. They can be a real menace especially when they make nests in those ACs.

Yes but sometimes 1 or 2 pigeons come and it looks as if they hold the Net in anger.

Yet the costs have been a lot for me. First AC cost around 31K and then all this Netting work for 1600/-.
So my savings have taken a hit.
Covering savings deficit takes time, patience and a lot of effort.
Yes the Pigeons would be thinking as if one of their territories has been taken away!
