Another way to stop pigeons looking for fallen seed is to put some mesh or rocks at the bottom of the bird table or underneath the bird feeders.
Place feeders high off the ground but away from surfaces from which a cat could jump - so an open area is probably best. Place spiny plants (such as holly) or an uncomfortable surface around the base of the feeding station to prevent cats sitting underneath it.
The simplest way to make a bird table pigeon-proof is to use some kind of wire mesh, for example, chicken wire. Stringing the mesh up across any openings in the structure of your bird table will allow you to ensure that small birds can get in, while pigeons cannot.
You can request a meeting with the HOA board to discuss your concerns in person. Bring your documentation and be prepared to present your case. If communication between you, your neighbor, and the HOA is strained, consider mediation as a way to reach a resolution without going to court.
If an HOA's governing documents say that bird feeders are not allowed, then the board can enforce this rule. However, if the HOA's governing documents allow bird feeders, then the board must allow them or amend the documents to prohibit them.
Your options are twofold: Place feeder and birdbaths within three feet of the nearest window so that birds don't hurt themselves upon liftoff; or place them more than 30 feet away so that feeding birds have plenty of space to clear the house.
Generally speaking, most HOAs can control anything that is visible from outside the house. So that includes anything that goes on outside, up to the siding, roofing, etc on the house itself. It wouldn't be too far of a stretch to assume they would have requirements for backyard items.
Pest Control. Aphids, mosquitoes, spiders, earwigs, beetles, moths and more are natural food sources for birds. Encouraging birds to be in your garden can help reduce, or even remove, the need to use harsh chemicals.
The Law and Wild Bird Feeding Here are some guidelines to follow as best practices: Important note: Though bird feeders are legal on a national scale, there may be local ordinances and HOA rules that prohibit bird feeding.
With caution, bird feeders can be harmless to birds. Not especially beneficial, especially not compared to making the area more bird-friendly in general, but harmless. There's nothing wrong with doing a thing that's harmless to wildlife, particularly if it can help to spark interest in conserving said wildlife.
