I have to keep finding new ways to occupy them or exclude them. Not all my attempts are successful because they are actually quite smart, and extremely persistent. I have to snap twigs off the tree that are within about 12 inches of the feeders else the Pigeons stretch to get food from the seed feeders. One even found a way to cling to the nut feeder and stretch to a seed feeder, so I had to move the nut feeder. I think I mentioned that I've made small trays from CD/DVD spindle cases. I hang these in the tree and the smaller ground feeders use them. But again, I have to be careful where I put them or the Pigeons try to behave like Humming Birds and sort of half cling, and furiously flap their wings to get at the trays. Maybe you could try some similar ways to exclude the Pigeons, if nothing else it will keep you occupied.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
