Use a Hav-a-Heart trap which is a live trap and then put a .177

Where can you get these traps and are they big enough for pigeons? I have
a
problem with loads of destructive pigeons in my garden and my elderly cat
is
too slow off the mark to scare them off effectively. I have to confess
that
I have been eyeing them up hungrily as they are rather plump and very
healthy specimens. I'm quite keen on attempting to catch some and eating
them. After all, they have got fat on eating the contents of my garden!
Well the local hardware store has them and for birds such as pigeons you
would need the large one which goes for about $38 US. Check out this
wonderful web for a source in your area. Place the bait on the pan but you
might have to attach it so as to cause the bird to tug at it. I have had to
release things like wrens, jays and such that try for the pecan bait I use
in the mid-size squirrel trap. As for restrictions you might have to get a
friend of yours to ask at the local courts or game office.
