pigeons on the balcony

There's a fair bit of pigeon poop on my balcony. I'm aware that it could be hazardous to disturb too much, but I've got to clean up a little. I'm wondering if the best thing would be just to shovel it into a plant pot, mix it with a bit of soil. Would it be a good fertilizer? How much, proportionally, could I add to a pot without it affecting pH or other factors of soil quality?

Also, are there any plants that are "pigeon-unfriendly"?

 

Maybe if it was composted first...but shoveling raw pigeon poop in with your plants? No.

 

What about just washing it away with a hose? If would be diluted and dispersed that way.

 

Well, my balcony is somewhat enclosed, you don't think the drain will get clogged? I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

 

I would shovel and bag up the poop---wear disposable gloves (maybe even a mask) whilst performing this removal. You do NOT want to breathe in any parasites or other gackly bacteria, etc. that might be lurking in this pigeon frass.

Plants that are "pigeon-unfriendly"...? What are the birds doing to your plants (nesting in, nibbling on, pooping among?) and what kinds of plants do you have? ---Hmm. Cactus, maybe.
