I have one of these on my allotment . My local Robin just loves to sit on his head waiting for me to dig over my plot so he can fly down for his lunch. It does not have any effect on the local pigeons so best not to go that route.

I have seen pigeons get trapped inside net cages on my site (which I have subsequently helped to release). I guess they find a small gap between sections of netting then can't find their way  out again.

any where you would buy your netting from ?, i'd like to cover the whole plot

Debris netting from ebay it comes in 2 widths so you can choose which suits

We have one of those at work at the entrance of the building we work in which is a big hangar type building as there is a problem with pigeons roosting inside. It seems to have made no difference as they are still there flying around!

i cant see any slug trails but i can see bird poo, decided to make large Cloches out of water pipe and strong netting

Yep, Pigeons are ruining my beetroot and other young plants. Never had this in the past but I believe they are getting a real pest this year.
