TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry revolves around finding effective methods to deter pigeons from a new house. Suggestions include using a drone, employing fake owls or kites, installing spikes or nets, and various creative deterrents like fishing lines, shiny objects, or even adopting a cat. There are also discussions about regulations for drone usage in Thailand, emphasizing the need for registration. Overall, while some participants mention the use of drones, they suggest that there are possibly more practical solutions for addressing the pigeon issue.

If you hang something shiny, like old CD's around your house. It scares the birds away.

If you want to buy a drone get one from DJI. They're costly but you really get what you are paying for.
Any idiot can operate them. Cheap drones almost never fly the way you want it and the picture/video quality is very poor!

This works the best for getting rid of pigeons humanely if you can find it in Thailand.

Set up fishing line pulled tight 3 inches above where they land. They dont like the invisible barrier and will avoid

I believe you'll have to register it before you fly it but it'll be no help for pigeons better luck with rubber snakes statues of birds of prey
Shelley ********
What about one of those big eagle kites ? That would probably keep them away

As for a drone.... there are lots to choose from. Wish I could suggest a manufacturer. But I have no idea..... sorry.
Pom ***********
Fake owls help a lot in this case.
Sri **********
Make some place for bird bro they are beautiful. not dangerous like human.
John-Paul ******
Find an online company that have fake owls or other bird of prey for sale. I put a fake owl where the rats with wings like to sit and now no more problems.

Can you buy a drone that can kill roosters? Asking for a friend 😜
Brett *********
@John **********
roosters just need a hug...tightly...two hands ... to the neck. Trouble here in Thailand is they can't tell the time....any time is is noisy time! Apparently my mother in law doesn't like her roosters mysteriously dissapearing....กะลาสี *****
