I am not so sure about building a trap to catch them. I think this is
more a dig the old air rifle out of the loft exercise.

Then you'll need to shoot them in the head,

Fortunately it is my veggie plot in the back garden and so range is not
an issue and at 10 yards I can hit a pigeon head sized target often
enough for it to count.


Pigeons are pretty quick learners and
they'll soon learn to avoid you if you are carrying anything that looks like
an air rifle,

If I can persuade them that I, with or without air rifle, represent a
serious threat and they go and eat elsewhere I don't mind.
