    Insert a whole lot of short (<6" above surface) stakes around the perimeter. (Tip; buy a couple of bags of kindling wood and chop up into thin pieces). Get a spool of black cotton thread and tie this to the stakes, criss-crossing the area in different directions, so that you leave very little space for the pigeons to land. This worked for my mother when she grew a lawn in the house where I grew up. Also you could make spirals of foil or from the cores of kitchen towel and hanfg these up to blow in the breeze.

    Right so! There's a few of them around here, I just have to figure out how to catch one using sticks and thread:)
    But seriously, you could use a falcon kite. There's a car dealership beside the M50/N2 interchange that uses one to prevent birds $4!7ing all over their cars.
