I've got one that I move around the allotment. It seems to work as I've not noticed any damage to my crops. Oh apart from last year when they stripped my young purple sprouting broccoli bare but I'd forgot to cover them and the 'kestrel' was at the other end of my plot."Who’s that tripping over my bridge?" roared the Troll.

We have a couple that use an Oak Tree at the bottom of the garde.
They seem more of a problem when it very dry as though they are after moisture??"If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

I am plagued by wood pigeons and might be interested if these things work.
On the other hand, though, would they also deter all the blackbirds, robins etc etc that I also have?0 -

I am in a way jealous. They would be turned in to lightly fried pigeon breasts at my house if I got a chance.Freedom is the freedom to say that 2+2 = 4 (George Orwell, 1984).

Why don't you just shoot them - They would make a great meal.0

Unfortunately, there's a wood just across the road and I think, however many I shot, they would just be replaced by more.Shoot them and sell the surplus?
A good air gun is around £150. An investment if you ask me. I have recently been scouting my local woods where wood pigeons are adundant. I plan to trap them.
I would definatley shoot them if they were on my property
But if I thought there was a profit in it........
Who would buy them, the local butcher?0
