The Homeless Pigeons

In the front of our land we have a house that was built in the 1980's from the first group that was here. Since the 80's six pigeons had moved into the roof where there was space in the attic area. Our job was to clean up there 2o sum year old mess. Yuck. I personally don't like attics to begin with because they are filled with spiders, ants and other surprising creatures. We climbed up in the attic and the first thing i did was step through the roof. That was rather exciting and a good lesson not to step on the roof. Across the whole roof there was anywhere from 1/2 inch to 4 inches of pigeon poop, nests, eggs (which our dog loved), dirt, and random nests of ants which was always a thrill. Within two days we got it all swept out. We threw the sacks down to the first floor and all four bags burst open all over. It was rather funny. It was Friday and the upstairs was clean so we left the downstairs mess for Sunday. Sunday we cleaned out the whole house, pigeon poop and all, and the boys put up wiring around the roof so the pigeons cant get back in. Everyday i see the pigeons sitting on the roof cooing pitifully at me because i took away their home and eggs. I almost feel a little sorry for them.
