love_rat Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Just built a fence and although its not something that bothers me so much, it annoys the neighbour and he is blowing a gasget and making lots of noise. He built a fence to seperate the gardens, fair enough, the problem is that pigeons and other birds keep landing on the fence to have a look round. The problem is everytime this happens he keeps running out of the house shouting and balling at the pigeons/or birds, they fly away, he goes back into the house, another bird lands on the fence, he runs out shouting at the birds, they fly away, he goes back into the house, another bird.....you get the idea? Is there anything that can be done to stop the birds landing on the fence, my gripe is the noise made by the neighbouh, his gripe is that he did not build a fence for birds to sit on. So what can be done here, is there anything on the market that puts birds off fences? (he is outside again shouting - again ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ sheffield Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Shooting Pigeons is also illegal, as they're protected species. Not if you dont kill them. Get an airsoft gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygardener Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Shooting Pigeons is also illegal, as they're protected species. No it isn't. Shooting both wood and feral is covered by the general licence, though should not be done with a toy but a proper air rifle by an experienced hunter who can guarentee a clean kill. My experience with pigeons is they are pretty canny at knowing the difference between a man and a man with a gun so you don't actually have to kill them, I've sucessfully kept them off my veg patches for years by just firing a .22 pellet near to one but not at it if they get too far up the fields once every couple of weeks in spring and soon you have a nice 100ft area they don't go near.

foxy lady Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Shooting Pigeons is also illegal, as they're protected species. What a load of tripe. I use a 20 bore by the way and wood pigeon makes very good eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
