Waiting on council coming back to me hello, i can understand your feeling as i had a situation where i live, in the end the family were given notice to leave the property, Housing Association, just be patient and see what the council can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcMaxus Posted April 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Lol the corvids. Its winding me up.more I think because under safe and permitted circumstances they would be red mist by now!!! Takes a lot to wind me up but this is succeeding. Every time I see them picking at my tubs my blood pressure sky rockets!!! Council proving to be hard work to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcMaxus Posted April 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) So I've had the council on again. They say that because they are feeding them in the boundary of their property there is nothing they can do. They have passed ot to environmental team, but they recently had the number cut from 12 to 3, so its unlikely they will do anything they say. So back to the drawing board! I'm going to have to consider shooting them somehow. I'd have to bait the off my gutters onto the floor of my back yard to safely shoot them. Set a small hide up in the corner and nail them with a PCP. Edited April 2, 2019 by MarcMaxus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Discreet trapping may be the way forward and then dispatch with an air gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set a small hide up in the corner and nail them with a PCP. Examine the legalities of culling them using the GL , cover yourself , and perhaps think about informing the police that you will be doing so within the confines of your own property, as all other methods of resolution have been exhausted, and it is causing damage to property and health.

I would escalate to a supervisor/manager and keep going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise if Marc starts shooting them safely and within the confines of his property, with a legal reason, how could the council say anything ?

simonm Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 If it affecting people outside their boundary then they should get involved. If I played loud music all night in my home every night I’m sure they would get involved if people complained! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids looking out onto it, all hanging out, they cant stop you enjoying your home within the confines of your property. Noise on the other hand is a different matter, at reasonable times its not such an issue , but late at night , environmental health get involved. You can be issued noise abatement orders for loud sex too apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 I think Tightchoke hit on the right idea , trapping them in a box trap , similar to the old coypu's trap , or a small larsen type trap , these corvid's don't sound if they are street wise so it shouldn't take to long to reduce the numbers without causing to much hassle to the neighbour's .

Did I miss something or is it a case of some people like to sway a debate with their own interpretation. You're not a brexit MP are you? Lace it with some nasty stuff? Lacing a food substance would normally be taken to be poisoning! “Nasty stuff” would add weight to that surely? As for am I am MP?
