This year on our allotment,pigeons have been eating everything that is

to be any predators around ,such as large birds of prey.
Apart from *netting more and more,has anyone found a successful way to
keep them away?

Has pigeon pie gone out of fashion all-of-a-sudden?

I really think this is the solution.

Round by 'ere we are suffering from the decline in song birds, and
whilst I suspect sprays and cats are among the reasons, the swoffling
of all the available food by pigeons can't be helping.

I'm too old to go after them with a slingshot, but I recall people
being very good with them when I was a boy. Does anyone do that now?
