Trapping Pidgions

[springer-n-ferret 0]

Anyone have any idears of how to catch city pidgions?

 

They make a mess of all the buildings and i thought if i could catch them i could use them minced up with other stuff as food for my animals.

I suggest you read up on the law and what you can or cant kill, before rushing out with these ideas

 

yes, your right, feral pigeons do make a mess of buildings, but like all animals/birds, they are still protected, in one way or another, unless you have good reason, now I doubt very much your a pest controller by the wording of your question, so a simple answer is

 

NO

 

if the birds are not fouling your property you cannot

even if they were, you would first need to prove that you had done everything to stop them doing so, ie bird netting, bird spikes etc, culling is ONLY the last resort

 

and would you really want to feed city feral pigeons, to any of your animals, they are riddled with disease :sick:

keeping in mind what stubby said and if you are able to trap them buy john b book off 14 acre as this will show you how to make a very good pidgeon trap along with various other traps

Feral pigeons carry and easily transmit salmonellosis, ornithosis and other diseases.

 

Any pest controller worth his salt could rattle of a whole list of notifiable diseases feral pigeons carry.

 

Do you really want to feed your pets these pests?

 

Would you feed your dog stir fried sewer rat with feral pigeon egg fried rice ??

Wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole.
