Humane Pigeon Control
"Should we not be trying to move forward instead of backward? It has been proven in cities throughout the world time and time again that the poisoning, shooting & trapping methods for controlling pigeons do not work, and in the long term create larger flock numbers and social problems within the community e.g. dead birds in the city and over-population of other birds...There are however plenty of cities that have managed to lower the number of pigeons successfully, and have done so by creating a fixed home for the birds in the central city. This is known as the ‘Augsburg-model”, in which specially monitored pigeon loft flocks are kept under surveillance, and birth rates are controlled by swapping their eggs for dummy eggs."

Pigeon Breeding Software:
KinTraks - This is a breeders program to keep you pedigrees, health records and breeding info in (plus a lot more) It's an animal database from Craig (designer/creator) in AU. I can't think of a thing you can't do with it and you can print out great pedigrees as well as keep photos of individual animals, up-coming things you need to do etc etc. Here's his address, don't let the price scare you off, as it isn't priced no where near as high as all the others I looked at. And one of the best features are his almost constant updates that are free for life to the buyer of the full program. I highly recommend buying the CD as a safe guard, it's really worth the extra money.

Pigeon
Record Program Version 11/3/06 This one is free. "This program will
keep track of and print charts, nesting records, and has a breeder and a data
base. Once breeders are entered in a couple of places, pedigree charts and data
base entries are automatically filled out for new offspring so you don't need to
keep typing new entries and forms. It will also add a picture of your bird to
the pedigree chart, nesting box info files and data base files." http://www.tipplers
