About

PigeonGone

Features
Read full description

This app helps you drive away pigeons by displaying high-quality images of their natural predators. Optimized for iPad, simply face the screen outward toward the affected area to use it as a visual deterrent. I created this app after struggling with pigeons gathered on my balcony. I was woken up every morning at dawn by their cooing. Pigeons are intelligent and can often bypass physical barriers like bird wire. After a long battle of chasing them away only to see them return, I found this method to be incredibly effective. Please note that pigeon infestations are generally classified into four levels: - Level 1: Occasional resting - Level 2: Signs of settling - Level 3: Staying for long periods - Level 4: Breeding and nesting This app is most effective for Level 1 and 2 infestations. Pigeons are quick learners; if they become accustomed to the images and the effectiveness decreases, please consider alternative measures immediately. Key Features: - Constant display of high-quality images of natural predators (eagles, owls). - Automatic brightness adjustment for nighttime use. - Periodic image rotation to prevent screen burn-in and keep pigeons on their toes. Note: Since this app keeps the screen on continuously, please use it while connected to a power source.
