    I had tumblers, I loved to fly them after work, they would tumble soo low that they would bounce

    My wife also thought I was crazy to keep the flying rats.....

    I had Rollers, tumblers, and about a dozen other varieties when I was a kid. I learned to hate cats as they would get in the pen and kill dozens. I paid big dollars for some pairs. I have no problem with shooting feral pigeons, though.

    Back to LLA, when it's dry I think it smells an awful lot like Crayola crayons. A pleasant memory from my youth.

    Could I please borrow your cat? The wife has 3 (cats) and they just look at the pigeons. I'm wearing my crossman pistol out I can't afford enough alka seltezer to fix the problem. We have these idiots that find it entertaining to feed a flock of a couple hundred pigeons - bet the **** they arn't ****ting all over their house!!!!!!!!!!!!! What could I add to that cheap bird feed to resolve this - I could impersonate on of those freakin idiots that spend money to feed these pest.

    LLA is a wonderful aroma. Almost on the level of Hoppes to stir the memories.

    Something to make LLA smell better....

    How about a family of aggravated skunks? Or a bushel of dead rats? Either of them smells better if you ask me. LLA is the one product from Lee that I really don't like at all.

    Candle making shops have all sorts of different scents and colors, you could make it any color and smell like anything you like, such as LLA with perfume.

    Do not argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    Yeah, I remember Hai Karate and Jade. Also Jovan Musk, English Leather, including that awful English Leather Lime.

    Back to LLA. Hey, the stuff is supposed to be undercoat, right? So it's not bad; it's new-car smell!

    ETG,
    You against using poison?
    Go to home depot and get some poison grain(squirel or gopher bait I forget which) and sprinckle some around. Pretty soon no pigeons!
    I did it by mistake as I had some set out for ground squirels and some of the flying rats(pigeons) got into it and pretty soon no pigeons. I works quick. apparently they never got off the ground as I found them about 3 feet away from the bait.

    Jim
