Mind you the barmy thing is that the pigeon shooters out in Spain aren't allowed to use decoys but they use live birds either tethered to the ground or hoisted up from a platform up in a tree like a lofter then they flutter back down onto their platform.

Yep, it seems to be a true parallel with the rest of Europe. See the link above, shocking news for us pigeon shooters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
