The value of smiplicity in designs and engineering

Laser sight or not. More fun without I suppose, what about night feeders, opting for Night Viz or not? All this to take into account. :)

It's "pigeon". There is no "d". Of course that could be a time frame that relates to pigs, kinda like "dog years".

Put the bird house on the ground. sheesh!
Hmm, might work. But supose you have larger song brids that feed as well. How would they get the food?
The larger birds have to go on a diet. No one likes a fat bird around here.

Peg Ions? Is that a wooden leg that has stepped in Charged Bacon Particles? You seem to be speaking Pidgeon English! (Or is that Pidgin??)

I came up with a soltion to an age old problem:
Q: How can you keep pigions from stealing all the seed?
Requirements:
a. The pegions can't feed at the feeder.
b. The pegions can't feed from the ground below the feeder, where feed is placed and
little birds knock the feed to the ground.
c. The little birds can still feed with no problems.This would be a good interviewing question to test ones ability to solve design and engineering problems. I will post the solution in a few hours, or if someone comes up the same or equaly plausable solution. Hint: I came up with the solution because my Father started going nutz and throwing rocks at the pegions. ~TheArch :-D
put feeder on island in middle of pool with sharks with freekin' lasers coded to auto fire at pigeon shaped/sized birds ..ha, you call this a challenge...

I have seen that on a sign in a pub, "No Fat Birds".

Buy a Time Machine Go back 50-100 thousand years and through DNA manipulation and selective breeding, stop the pigeons from evolving. Come Back to the Present. Feed Birds. Wanna Buy a time machine? I have one here, I only bought it next week.

Haha, I actually thought of this minus the sharks and pond. I was going to use CUDA to do the pigeon shape detector, based on 3D exsisting object libs, and face recginion.

Okay but you return to find out that you have accidently help the dianasuars to evolve into man eating super freaks. They become the dominate species on earth.
Hmmm a little trouble with your time perception there. I am talking about going back 50,000 years. The Dinosaurs went extinct 65,000,000 years ago.

Any job to be done correctly requires some research and study before implementing a solution. 0) Capture or kill a number of birds that are the approximate maximum weight of the birds you want to allow at the feeder. It would probably better to kill them outright since they'd be trying to fly away or pecking at your eyes, thus preventing you from completing the 2nd part of the study. 1) Establish a maximum average weight of said birds (you need to be able to put them onto a scale, that's why they should probably be dead). 2) Construct a bird feeder that has spring-mounted metal perch. at each end of the perch connect an electrical contact in such a way as to be a complete circuit which will kill birds that exceed the weight of your pre-determined maximum average weight. 3) To solve the bottom-feeder issue, you could also connect up our friend - the wire mesh and electrocute any animal that happens to walk on it. Of course, you'd probably be taking out squirrels, neighborhood cats, and maybe even yourself if you forget about the mesh when it's time to go refill the feeder. If you wanted to have some real fun, you could make it so that the mesh is only charged when there's a heavy bird on the perch...
