All day long they have been tap dancing on my roof, with another pair playing football with a stone. It's driving me mutts mad. BUT to really take the P*** they are sat on the home made bird scarer !

Back to the drawing board................

Errr in that case, you should tell Hayley. She's the board's best pigeon killer. One look from her and they're scared as she's got a reputation now.

lol both of you ... If I can get all of them will send A of GG stock and keep some here !

puts out a call for Hayley.

Marion I keep threating to shoot them, our winter neighbour used to feed them, ignores what we say and forgets we get them all year.

They are now auditioning for the River Dance up there.

Rats with wings my OH calls them.

similar to what my OH calls them but more polite lol.

I actually hate the idea of shooting them, cos I worry I may just wing them and not kill out right, but they are going to have to go, apart from driving us all mad, they will damage the roof.

I dont like the idea of them being wounded either. Stll filthy things.
Amazes me the amount of people who feed them in the streets and at stations. I know they do get shot at railway stations.
