Home remedies to kill a Minnesota pigeon
One of the home remedies that people believe to kill a pigeon is the use of rice and alka-seltzer. Will these things work? Will these solve your problems on Minneapolis pigeon infestation? We will find out later on.

• Rice to kill a pigeon. First, they believe that you need to feed the pigeons with dry rice. People believe that dry rice tend to expand when exposed to liquid. Once the Minneapolis pigeons are fed with dry rice, they stomach or gizzard will blow up and they will die eventually. The thing is, it does not work that way. Remember that pigeons are feed on seeds and grains. They know when they are full and tend to stop before their stomachs blow out. This goes the same with the idea of feeding them with dry rice. This won’t work.

• Alka-seltzer to kill a pigeon. This is believe to work the same a as the dry rice. You feed the pigeons with alka-seltzer tablets and it will emit gas inside the stomach of the pigeons that will cause them to explode. This is not also a true thing. Animals have their own natural mechanism to expel gas out of their body. Just like human beings, they burp. And once they feel like they are full enough, they expel gas and won’t explode as some people believe they do. And no, alka-seltzer will not kill a Minneapolis pigeon.
