Aluminium Foil Suggested as Low-Cost Method to Deter Balcony Pigeons

A viral video suggests using aluminium foil pieces on balconies as a low-cost method to deter pigeons, reflecting sunlight to make the area uncomfortable for them. This alternative to balcony nets, which can cost around Rs 1,400 to Rs 1,500 for a 10-by-8 feet space, aims to prevent pigeons from nesting and causing nuisance. While some users report success, others note the effect may be temporary as pigeons eventually adapt to the foil.
