I've been thinking of leaving a cage-type structure (5 sided box) propped up at one end by a stick tied to a bit of string which I hold - some distance away. Bit of grain in the cage and hello dinner! I'll get round to trying it one of these days...

Ive seen this tried and the pigeons just dont go under the cage wood pigeons are clever little sods some times youd be better off with an air rifle and a bird table now that does work

Another great plan bites the dust.

Hmm sounds a bit Wiley Coyote to me. Anyway is it legal?

Any reason why it shouldn't be? I'd pull their necks so no offensive weapons and they're vermin with no close season. I think with landowners say-so it'd be fine. If it worked that is!

I have had my best shooting in my back garden, several pigeons, a pheasant and almost had a duck last year. I tend to leave the collared doves though as they seem a bit scrawny and also seem to be good decoys- the wood pigeons watch them take the seed I've left out and then come down when they think it's safe. Unbeknownst to them I'm leaning out of my bedroom window doing my best Lee Harvey Oswald impression...

Do I still need one if it is on my land? Honest mistake if I did. Tasty too.

Only for duck and pheasant, not for Woodies.
