quentyn Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 there is lots of talk on wood pigeons and the GL but any news on feral pigeons (Columba livia domestica) ? are they now effectively protected unless you apply for an individual license ? there is an industrial site where the feral pigeons cause a real public health problem - i haven't been up there since the issues but i wonder if control is now essentially banned ?

Westley Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 I understood the new wording of the GL covered shooting of ferals for public health reasons. Try the BASC website for further info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old farrier Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Perhaps when parliament and half of the country’s cities and hospitals are a foot deep in pigeon manure a few politicians will realise what a mess they have created wondering here if her majesty will have to apply for a license to clear them from some of the buildings she owns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All wild birds are protected, perhaps wait for solid legal clarification form one of our organisations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
