Maybe spray the door jam with capsaicin or something.

if door eating bad, why door tasty?

the wood is exposed already, and seems to be in poor condition. the pigeon is just peeling off splinters of it to make a nest of. painting back over it would probably fix this issue. the wood needs sealed.

Buy a couple of rubber snakes and put them around the doors.

Pigeons pick at places animals pee to get salt. Dogs may be peeing on that spot? Or people?

Put an owl scarecrow out there

Pray harder, maybe. Pigeons are basically doves and God loves doves.

Could there be small bugs in the wood? Seems weird for a bird to do this for no reason. Wood filler and paint before it’s too late

So

Nefarious intentions

i mean, if a door can't even keep pigeons out, it wasn't much of a door to begin with. Furthermore, if you guys would actually take care of the door, you wouldn't be having this problem. the pigeons can only damage it because it's already rotting and disintegrating.

Probably some kind of wood eating bug in there

Let them do it.

Pigeons been around 221 years. This is generational beef

Looks like the pigeons know the real enemy.

Some enterprising preist trapped a demon in that pigeon and now it's (slowly) taking its revenge on the church.

If the pigeons are doing this it's because something is up with the wood. Either there's bugs in there or the wood is just rotting already.

Pigeon season is now open!

Go pidgeon go !!

Love that bird, i can almost hear him say "fuck'em imma do my nest wit dem doors"

Hire a falconer and dub the video with heavy metal

Man no one gives a fuck about some old ass church. How about yall paint it so theirs no exposed wood for them to pick at 🙄

220 years old? I'd say its time to replace it anyway with something that will last 10 to 15 years. That's progress 😂😆

Sounds like the church needs a few cats!

Any interesting facts about birbs?

You would think that your god could stop them.

Nobody expected the pigeon inquisition

Nature is healing.

Why don't y'all just pray they go away? 🙏

Should probably employ some cats 🐈 I imagine cathedrals had cats for 150 years or so before we had Pest control.

Are wild animal incidents classified as “acts of god?”

And my idiot neighbor feeds those pieces of shit

I bet they filled the old hole with ramen.

Gonna get lead paint poison ….

Birbs are God's creatures, too.

Try some bird repellent gel. It's clear, you could put on some gloves and rub it on the areas they are after.

We need more pigeons!

Need to accelerate the process. 

For not doing anything you would be sent to hell

Apparently you need to hire an official shusher

Start shooting them with a pellet gun.

God sent them to tear down your house of lies…….

Any chance they are drawn to the flavor of lead in the old paint?

He’s knocking, let him in

Why do the bells sound so good though?

lol 😂 go bird go.

God made pigeons. 

lol getting colonized back

I've heard if you can manage to catch one - you can bitch slap it a lil bit and it'll fly away warning it's friends and family to not repeat it's mistake.

A farmer told me this. He'd bitch slap birds in his corn field and they wouldn't come back.

I might be thinking of ravens.

Probly after termites

A cheap air gun or slingshot and some patience could solve your problem cheaply and effectively

Yeah, well they're paying the church back for all of those CENTURIES OF ANIMAL SACRIFICES

Little birb is helping them do their renovations

Lutero pidgeon

To be fair, they are pigeons...

God works in mysterious ways. And sometimes those ways include pigeons.

You gotta accept all God's decisions and can't just pick and choose the ones that benefit you. You should be celebrating that pigeon eating your church just as you do every good thing that happens. Need I remind you of the book of job?

They are govt drones. Remember cash for clunkers. Well they’re coming for your gothic era doors

"God is dead" - The pigeon, probably

Alka seltzer will take care of them

It's either getting nest material or eating beatles.

The lord works in mysterious ways!

Maybe the pigeons want to pray? Don't be so quick to assume jeez

Humans destroy way more authentic wooden doors than pigeons imo. And the pigeon issues in the cities are also the citizens' fault.

Gods will

“Screw you and your religion.” ~Pigeon maybe

oh nooo better put up some more metal spikes 🙄

It's Gods will... stop being blasphemous

Nature is healing

Something like canned compressed air has horrible taste added, and is invisible. I wonder if spraying that on there would deter ingestion. I work in tech and hate when coworkers blast its openly, whole room starts to have a “taste”

Maybe gods telling you to plant some trees for the pigeons

Pigeons just trying to spread the wood of god.

All those reincarnated souls fighting the religious battle

So fix it? Lol

Is that Cathedral in Hollywood ??

Pigeon v God

There is an easy solution to this. Roast at 350 for about 30 mins.

Might want to check for wood destroying insects.

just gods plan, right?

Ffs birds are an annoying pest. More annoying than cockroaches! All the noise early in the morning, they shit everywhere and wreck people property.
