Why do you care? Are they making noise?
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Pigeon noises drive me completely insane, especially when I'm trying to sleep. Not to mention their droppings leave marks if not cleaned soon enough. They are disgusting animals. :P
I can understand the OP perfectly, I had a pigeon problem on my balcony last summer. One day, I managed to scare the utter crap out of them in such a epic way that they never came back. So I guess I was lucky to solve the problem that easily.
OP: Last summer I did my research on those black plastic ravens that they sell at gardening stores. They have really mixed reviews. Apparently sometimes they work wonders, other times the pigeons pretty much come and sit on the raven's head. But they are cheap (available even on Amazon), so it's worth a try.
Good luck!

He outlined in the OP why they're annoying him, and the noise they make was one of the points. Pigeon poop can also contain a fungus that causes Cryptococcus Meningitis. Inside an inner city, pigeons are very much the same as any other vermin people use the same types of methods to deal with.
The fake bird of prey is an awesome way to keep them away. You could even get a recording of one of the birds' call and blast it through some speakers for a bit.
You fill the hole with expanding glue gun.
That's what my father would do to them anyway.
Get a tennis racket and practise your forehand, kill two birds with one stone (well, racket, but whatever).

Just... Just feed them with bread that is soaked in vodka or something. They will probably not be able to fly after so you can easily pick them up and do what ever you want to do !
Nope. Done all the time. http://www.ecoltd.net/bird-control/e...ird-deterrents

Used to have a problem with them on my balconies until I bought some "gargoyles".
I heard spreading sea salt all over the area helps too, but I went with the bird of prey statues instead.
