Pigeons are very sensitive to this. Apparently a survival instinct from making their home in cliff faces.

It seems to trigger a flight reflex, it makes them take off real fast. I use a high voltage arc generator to scare pigeons off my deck. The sound from the arc seems to trigger the same response. It is certainly much more effective than yelling at them or waving one's arms around.
