Dbw1shrops Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hi all was out today on barley stubble that had been drilled with stubble beet and shot a pigeon went to pick it up for the flapper and saw brown slime coming from its beak then I noticed a couple of little slugs come out as I put it on the flapper ? Has anyone ever seen this before cos it's the new to me ! Never knew they eat slugs maybe that's what there after when there on the manure piles Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dead eye alan Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Seen slugs and small snails too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete1dart Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 I have seen this a few times. It made me wonder at the time if pigeons when going down onto winter rape when green if they were after the slugs? But after shooting quite a few on rape with green leaves in them and no slugs it sort of put that thought to bed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootnfish Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Shot a pigeon about 4years ago that had 8 snails in it think they were what's called roman snails . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
