One of the easiest ways to keep pigeons away from your feeders is by offering foods that they don't like. These include suet, sunflower seeds, niger seeds, and whole peanuts. An alternative is to use a feeder that would be uncomfortable for a pigeon to use. Generally, pigeons are ground feeders and so may find tubular feeders hard to use. Furthermore, using small feeders will mean that pigeons cannot cling on as they are too large.
