they aint wood pigeons are they?? i suspect they are ferals?? its easy to trap them if you have the time to make a trap an bait it, the bigger the trap the better, i cleared a farm not so long ago, i built a cage or small aviary as such, i made it so it could jsut bolt together an be built an dismantled in minutes, at the bottom i put some bob wires an fed the trap, try an stay out of sight itll fetch them in easier, i killed over 200 pigeons in a space of a week

sweet you got any photos of the trap please? yes they are ferals

this aint the trap i made, i aint got pics of it, but i found this on google an its near on identical but mine was bigger as it was made for a farm yard an space was not a problem, i was told the bigger the better aswell so i made mine big enough to walk in an collect the birds. if you google pigeon traps an hit images then im sure there is even some plans for 1, but its hardly rocket science an im sure youll get the drift from the pic

 

 

 

hope it helps pal, but get it sorted, i wouldnt accept my kids playing in pigeon shit

dont forget the bob wires on the entrance for the pigeons, so they cant get back out

Here's a couple i made..the one with the tunnel was for pheasant's but it also caught pigeon's..

 

 

This one was made with bob wire's to catch feral's which it caght a load of..it was also good at catching thick terrier's..
