Among the suggestions was placing a plastic owl at a strategic spot which might scare off the birds. I have written before how a reader, who after learning of my plight bought a large plastic owl in California and kindly sent it to me. The owl certainly had an imposing presence and the first few days there was no sign of the pigeons. But it wasn't long before the pigeons figured out the owl was a fake and they renewed their raids on the dog food. Cher Ami made 12 successful flights from the front in France and Belgium, carrying important messages about troop deployment.
