When I worked at Bristol Universityand the pigeons were a problem on the balcony at the Student Union, they used to bring in a chap and his hawk to get rid of them. He actually worked for the Uni and went round all the tall buildings to scare off the pigeons.

PigeonsAgh. I used to work at a place that made car care products. They also made patching plaster and lots of nasty carcinogenic stuff. Their way of catching pigeons and other vermin was to pour out a tin of resin and leave some food in the middle. Then a bloke would go back a few days later and hit everything trapped in the goo with a spade, scrape them up into a bin and reset the trap.
The place made loads of stuff which gave off nasty fumes. More than once when I worked there someone would be found unconcious or giggling over a vat of car body filler. The worst line to work on was the wall filler lines. Air full of powder all the time nose caked with black snot. Not nice.
The funniest line was the car shampoo. The floor would get really slippery after a few spillages and there was always a fat lad falling on his arse in a Laurel and Hardy stylee.
