kennyboy30 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Hi I’ve just had a farmer pal of mine on the phone saying he has pigeons dropping in his green linseed plants has anyone had any experience of pigeons eating linseed plants we’ve never grew any so I have not had any problems if anybody has shot or has had pigeons eating linseed could you let me know so I could pass it on to him cheers 🍻 Kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Linseed is not normally sown until the end of March at the earliest. I cannot imagine when that was sown if there are green shoots as nothing much will grow with these temperatures and cold ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b325 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 We grew winter linseed about 15 years ago. We were told that pigeons don't eat it. They did. Had a few days shooting over it.Probably depends on what else is available for the pigeons to eat though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My usual flightlines didn't materialise last year for some unknown reason . I might try and do a roost shooting video on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
