1) pigeons: Did I ever tell you about the time a couple of years ago that I woke up to find two pigeons in my lounge? I did the obvious thing you would do; I shut the door and rubbed vigorously at my eyes, in the belief that they would have disappeared when I re-opened the door. Amazingly this did not work and I then spent half an hour chasing them out of the flat and about another two hours cleaning up all the pigeon shit. Lovely. Anyway, came home from work Friday and Peter tells me he got up that morning to find a pigeon in the kitchen and that it had scared the crap out of him! I was fairly confident I'd traumatized the original two pigeons sifficiently by chasing them around the lounge in my pyjamas that they'd pass the word on and this wouldn't happen again. Would appear I was wrong and I'm thinking I may need to get some sort of screen for my kitchen window.

2) postcards: I got four postcards last week! Thanks so much to mrs_leary, bellasianna, nahara and starrylizard; I've added these to all the others on the wall in my office at work:

Sadly my giant fern seems to be covering a few so I'll have to move those! Pretty right? =)

Take it from me - no such thing as a smart pigeon - they're all greedy, stubborn buggers. I regularly get them flying into the windows when they're SHUT and they leave perfect imprints on the glass, get up off the floor, shake and fly off. Even the cats have given up and dog couldn't give two shits about shifting them either.

Best of luck with the computer.

I really do hope they're not going to start trying to come in again; with being in an attic flat it's lovely to be able to leave all the windows wide open day and night. After the first time I pinned the net curtain to the window frame to deter them, so I guess I'll just have to do that again!

Could just be the time of year, the younger ones are looking for new perching/nesting spots and being up in the attic, you're more vulnerable to their stupid navigation problems.

Net curtain solution is a good one, closed windows are stifling at this time of year. Another thing you could try is hanging old CDs on strings in the window, they catch the light and breeze and are pretty good at deterring the things from crash landings which I expect is more your problem then them actually wanting to come in.
