Day seven of my battle against the pigeons. I seem to be loosing this war. Every day the pigeons stranglehold on my room grows stronger. They have build a base in a vacant air vent in my room. This gives them a place to rest and regroup before going on more raids.
Making noise no longer scares them. I was foolish for making threats without immediately backign them up. They now think I am weak and unwilling to do what must be done to ensure victory in this war. I have begun sleeping with a weapon. I keep some five rupee coins in my bed with me to throw at them when they attack. I use the coins more as flak, something to discourage their bombing runs. If I fail to hold them off much longer, I will need to take extreme measures.
Yesterday during one of their raids they foolishly attacked my ceiling fan. There were feathers everywhere, but the pigeon somehow managed to get away. They coo ever so softly at me from the air vent above my desk, mocking me. I have tried shutting my windows, but all that does is make my room unbearably hot. They know I cannot keep the windows closed forever. So they sit, and they wait.
Every day, every hour brings me closer to attacking their base of operations. I have checked, so far no innocents would be harmed if I destroyed their construction project, but how long will that be true? If I wait too long, there will be "collateral damage," and I can't have that. I need to find a way to cut off their supply lines, or maybe block access to their base. I may be forced to call in a specialist on this one.
