How do you make a pigeon trap?
As a kid, I made a cheap and effective trap with a cardboard box, a piece of wood, a stick, 20 feet of string, and a small amount of grain.
Use a cardboard box that measures about 10" H x 12" W x 18" L. Cut a 6"x 6" access door in the box bottom. Fasten a weight at one end of the box. A piece of 2x3 or 2x4 works well. Tie the 20'-long string to a 10-12" stick, and use the stick to prop the weighted end of the inverted box.
For a couple of days, before putting the box in place, put some grain both outside and under the intended location of the box, where the pigeon can see it. Stay nearby so that the pigeon becomes accustomed to you while it's eating. After a few days, put the box and stick in place, and move 20 feet away
with the string in hand.
Wait for the bird to move to the grain under the box and pull the string, so that the box falls over the bird. Reach through the access door to retrieve it.

What does it mean when a dove enters a window?
Usually, a dove means "peace". For example, one may say that the dove that Noah sent out of the ark after the flood is a symbol of peace - that the flood rains were over. (Genesis 8:10-11)
A dove may also represent the Holy Spirit. In Matthew 3:17, Jesus is baptized by John the Baptist. In this instance, all three persons of the trinity are seen in one form or another. God's voice is heard from heaven, Jesus is being baptised, and the Holy Spirit (a.k.a. the Holy Ghost) is seen in the form of a dove.
So, it important to consider the context of the verse you are reading in order to understand what the dove means.

What should you do with a dead baby pigeon?
DO NOT TOUCH IT. Never touch dead birds.
Birds can have diseases (including some serious viruses like West Nile Virus and Avian Flu and even some worse ones) that they can give you. Even if that was not what killed them, it is still something you can get by touching the body if they had the germs on them. If you must move it, either use a long handled shovel or put on disposable vinyl gloves or, the best method is to use a zip top bag to pick it up and zip it closed around it so you do not touch it and any particles on it are contained. You should also avoid breathing too closely to it so you don't inhale any airborne particles, another reason for closing it tightly in a sealed zip top bag (hold the bag with the top pulled down over your hand picking the bird up through the bag without touching it, then close the bag around it and zip it shut)

How do you lower a pigeon chest?
Hey, you know i may not be the answer your looking for, but i have Pigeon Chest as well. I have talked to a few doctors about it and from what i can muster its that Pigeon Chest in Some Cases will normalize as you get older.( To me i find it highly unlikely) Although if your looking to hide it sooner i recommend Pushups or benchpressing to work on your muscles. As Pigeon Chest normally develops in tall skinny people you probably dont have much muscle mass to begin with so i would recommend running first till your endurance peaks up then moving to the push ups.
Other Options include Several Painful Surgerys... an Exterior Brace that takes 2 years to completely do the job etc mostly expensive stuff
In the long run, it really shouldn't matter if you do or don't. Most people care too much about there issues and looks to really care about yours... As you get older you'll see.
Well hope i have been even a little help.
