scifiguru Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) Hi, I live in Luton, Beds. Is there some place local where I could buy some pigeons? Preferably, I'd like them to be live, as my grandmother needs them to be 'halal' (serious). thanks for any pointers sci Edited March 11, 2006 by scifiguru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Live wood pigeons? Maybe FERRAL but i hear they taste scanky I wonder if there is a trade in a Halal butcher going pigeon shooting then? I suppose you COULD try netting them but it will be damn near impossible i would have thought. Lord Geordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Scifiguru, I could sell you plenty of fresh dead'uns, my dealer gives me £1.50 a bird, but as you are local you can collect for £1.25 each. I'm afraid nobody can supply you with live Wood Pigeons, as the sale of live wild birds is ILLEGAL under UK law. Cat. P.S. Don't let Old Rooster see this post - he'll have some strong views on this one..!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong, Whereabouts in Hertfordshire are you based? Do you have an e-mail contact? PS: I noticed from your profile, you do Magpie trapping. I wonder if I could trap wood pigeons the same way? Thanks, Sci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Scifiguru, Send me a PM if you're interested, and sorry, it's not possible to trap Pigeons in the way that you can trap Magpie's. Cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
