Not sure if you're the right people to be asking but....

Does anyone know of an effective way of knocking pigeons out for an hour or so (well any ammount of time would be a start) and then allows them to recover fully?

I smell a prank coming on...

wait **sniff sniff** i think i need a shower.

Ether. Obtain online, or in your local high school chemistry lab. I've also heard starter fluid contains high amounts of ether, but I'm not gonna be the guinea pig to find out for sure.

no. There is glue you can put on their purches that makes them absorb a hallucinagenic through their feet, making them trip out and they cant fly. Its ment for the alpha pidgeon so the rest abandon him, leaving you pidgeon free. You could do that if they just need to be managable, not passed out. This is what the pro exterminators use, though im not sure where you could get it.

[EDIT] Someones been reading too many 80's textfiles and not actually DOING anything they probably claim to do. You cant get ether at school labs any more. It was too dangerous for inexperienced highschoolsers to use so its not used any more. Also, i read on erowid that spraying a bag with starter fluid then mixing it with water separates the ether from the other chemicals. I do NOT know if this is true and im not claiming it to be.

i heard if you feed them rice their stomachs pop and they die.

-citre

I dont believe so. Feed them yeast and it expands in their stomach and makes them crash, i dont know if its the yeast that kills them but its funny as fuck to watch them crash.

Also 2 pieces of cheese on 3 feet of fishing string with a fishing hook on each end. Throw it into a thick flock of circling seaguls at the beach and 2 snatch it up, fly around with hooks in their mouths and get tangled up in eachother, fall, and drown in the ocean.

My uncle taught me that.

Well actually I was going to dress them up in dolls clothes then release into the town centre, I might then phone the local paper too.

It's still in public schools, at least where I went. That much, I can assure you.

pidgeons are totally lame, but it turns out they dotnactually bob their heads, its the reat of them that move.

Equality means you can hit women, and they can hit you back or sue you.

Pidgeons have no equality, you can hit them all you want. But its only a matter of time until those bastards at 'peta' (not People for Eating of Tasty Animals) do something about it.

Eh, I was waiting for somebody to mention that.

When I was in high school, my friends and I got arrested for possession of alcohol by a minor, animal cruelty and a bunch of other shit. We did as the revenge textfile did - we soaked bread realy heavily in alcohol, then fed it to them. We got to see it, then tried it again...After seeing the blue lights on the second time, we didn't do it again.

Dressing them up? What is this crap? It's much funnier if you feed them alka-seltzer and their necks pop off.

I've never seen that one .

Not necessary. They are stupid and docile, just net them and stick them in a box. If you handle them gently they'll keep quiet, you will get covered in ticks though, feral pigeons are disgusting.

Dressing them up and releasing them, thats not a Bad Idea, it's a fantastic one. Go for it . You could use water based poster paint instead, might be easier.

I don't know if it's true, but I heard that if you shine a bright flashlight in their eyes they freeze and focus on the light. My co worker told me he used to do it then pour gas on them and light it then let them fly away.
