Pigeons - vermin; fortunately the local Sparrowhawk took a liking to them and snaffled all seven within 2 weeks. Have you seen the mess they make?
At last a bit of peace, as they were waking me up in the mornings.

They rarely actually come down in my garden, since it's divided into areas by rose-arches etc.
However, they DO sit in the trees watching the smaller birds, and are nest robbers. Once they discover a nest, they'll take eggs and fledlings and don't stop until that nest is empty.
I know it's nature's way, and they have to eat too, but I'm afraid that Mr Webley comes out if I see one nearby
They are EXTREMELY feral, if they SEE you, they are gone.
I reckon they need culling, but can't see it happening.
A mate who races pigeons has a trap, it works VERY well, it has two chambers, the first bird goes in after food, once it's in, it will call another, which is, in turn, trapped. The first is then dispatched, and removed, leaving the second to call it's friends etc etc. He can get 6 or 7 in a day.
