mr smith Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Speaking to one of the farmers the other day,says he'll be popping in a field of broccoli this summer and wondered if it'll be any good in attracting pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 It`s a brassica, so I suppose it will. I believe it is popular with roe too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob300w Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 No way of telling, although if they do use it, it will probably only be during hard frost or snow. Some fields of rape are pigeon magnets, others are ignored. It also depends on what other foodstuff is grown in your area. As Henry D says, deer will eat it, if there are any in your part of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadShotHoncho Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Sauer, how many did you get. I am thinking of planting a veg patch and wondered wether it would be any good with air rifle. I've never seen any flightlines over it but they roost one hundred metres away they'd probably come in while planting Thanks, HSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
