Ironically enough we occasionally have hawks in our neighborhood, even had one sitting on the back deck railing once. And have seen them feasting on pigeons a couple times, but not rats. Yet.

Re. firearms - I suggested to my wife that she get a super soaker, she didn't go for it.

Just get a bobcat. Tell neighbor its just a large housecat. They eat rodents and maybe small pesty dogs

(Pigeons-the fun middle bit)+air rifles = problem solved

Or

Cats+ladders = problem solved

Or

Flamethrowers?

Have I gone too far?

I hate pigeons.

I love the thought of the small dog in the Rob Halford outfit. I'm having images of "Screaming for Vengeance" in my head.

The weirdest thing is that until I came across that doggie vest, I’d never even stopped to consider whether Rob Halford was scared of being attacked by birds of prey back in the ‘80’s

Would a virus be more efficient?

It might be, but I'm a couple of life science classes short of being able to come up with that many jokes about viruses. Also, I know it's been five years, but is it still too soon for virus jokes? Not sure
