Could this be used to keep pigeons out of a balcony opening?

It certainly would work temporarily at least. Depending on the size of the opening and its exposure, it might deteriorate over time.

The mesh is 1/4 inch. It would certainly keep any bird out, but if you are using the balcony a larger mesh, such as 3/4 inch, may be preferable.

Yes but it would block the view. There are larger grid nets that would do that. This net has a tight grid. I had larger but snakes kept getting tangled in them and dying. I use it on blueberry plants.

No it could not. Unfortunately it is just thin plastic used to deter birds. It is relatively easy to remove by hand.

I purchased them to keep feral cats from using my palms and plumerias as scratching posts. They worked out great! The openings in the grid pattern might allow a very determined bird with Small beak limited access. I purchased zip ties to secure the ends which you may be able to adjust wider to make it more difficult to get to.

I don't know since pigeons are not a problem where I live. However, I was disappointed to find the bears will come within 3 feet of it and go right ahead and attack the trash can.

If the birds get near the ground, it may scare them away. Any type of motion near the ground will set it off. If the bird feeder is way up high, then i wouldnt worry about it.

Yes, you could easily buy a thin piece of plywood to block off the run below and the opening on the side of the house. We locked our off while our quail were too small to have free access to the entire run.

I would say that a pair of homing pigeons could use this nesting box - but I do not have any experience at all with Pigeons but some of our hens are quite large.

My gawd, where do you live? It could potentially be rat proof depending on the weight of the rats! There is a clever adjustment for the amount of resistance the bottom ring has. In theory, one could set the resistance so light that larger birds would lower it. Assuming that a rat is heavier than the average bird, I would have to say yes, it could be set to close for the weight of the rat.

If I were training pigeons, I wouldn't recommend using this net as the squares are a bit small if you have a big bird cause the feathers might get snagged in the net or even the claws could get hooked up and hurt the bird. Each opening of square of the net measures about 4" x 4 " . Good luck with your training.

The tray is plastic and is not as strong as a metal tray would be. I wouldn't trust taking the grate out and allowing birds to walk on the tray because I would be scared that the tray would fall off the track and the birds would be free. bfry

Am not really sure, dint tried stripping it down... but you can try taking out its front & back cover and stick the inside chip with the lens to some paper or some light weighted thing. But before you tie up on your pigeons, 1st check whether or not its still recording without the covers, else it would be a waste.

Not an absurd amount of force but I would be very surprised if pigeons were able to set them off.

We didn't wind up using this but it will keep mice and rodents out, believe some insects might be able to get in though.

It could but bluebirds like open areas where they can hawk insects. I do not recommend hanging on a fence either as it will allow predators easier access.

My best suggestion is one should put a sign that no doves, pigeons are allowed to feed from this bird feeder. If they are decent they will read the sign and never come back. For the bad ones you should make it more weight sensitive by rotating the inner rod so that only light birds can sit on the perch. In general this is the best bird feeder we found which keeps the squirrel away. Before the squirrels were the sole eaters from our bird feeders.

There is a plastic sleeve at the base, you would have to make some sort of holder to attach it to a wooden fence. I have one on a pole on our roof, we have high winds so the wind sock part of the owl is destroyed, the head remains intact, I have one on a balcony mounted on an umbrella stand. They DO repel pigeons.

I used it for the same thing, however I taped ot to the balcony railing! You would think that sounds flimsy but it is still sticking.
