A friend of mine has a company called Avian Bird Control and he is doing rather well has a few good contracts. One thing though he has hardly any time to himself, lots of birds and all.

sorry took so long darren been offline for a bit work for bcc and no complaints at the mo, as said when cold and crap weather gets busy with gulls and crows but if you like flying the birds thats what you want mate plenty of quarry, im on a big site with a massive population of gulls two big lakes either side of my site and a river behind so can push some days all day but everyone gets a shit day here and there no matter what you do! pm me mate if you want more details! jonny
