silver pigeon 3 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 By Flying rats i assume you mean Ferals, if so i have no problem with calling them that. Woodpigeons i put above ferals so dont refer to them as the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anser2 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 The only flying rat I have ever seen had a long tail and was trying to escape a terrier. Quarry species deserve respect including wood pigeons and anyone who does not give them that does not deserve to be allowed to hunt them.

Id agree on that for animals that we shoot to eat, but animals that are shot for pest control, not so, I would never eat or feed to an animal, feral pigeons, yet I shoot many hundreds on london underground, its not classed as hunting, and yes, Id call them flying rat's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris t Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 ferals are def flying rats to me. If I get an infestation around the farmyard, they can make a hell of a mess. So I pop them off with the air gun. Till everyone of them has either left or is dead.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anser2 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Why dont you sell your feral pigeons to the butchers , ok only 15p each , but better than chucking them away and almost covers the cost of the cartridge. They put them in game pies. And for those who seem to have a sketchy idea of what they are shooting at , rats are small fur covered mammals with a long tain a nasty set of teeth , will eat almost anything and DO NOT FLY. Pigeons feral and wood are birds covered in feather with wings and a beak , they feed on plant matter and can fly.

Fishermanpaddy Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 when your near them,or their young they totally stink, a smell you never forget It is true that they absolutely honk. Look at the many of them with foot-rot which just shows how dirty the conditions they live in actually are. That said I prefer to give them their proper name, same as all animals.
