I've just had a run in with the old bill! 11:32 - Oct 2 with 3548 viewsGeoffSentence

One of my neighbours reported me to the RSPCA for killing a pigeon.

I didn't kill a pigeon by the way, in case anyone is concerned, but I have been shooting dried chickpeas at them with a slingshot to encourage the little blighters to move off my house. I am more likely to be feeding them than killing them, it is actually pretty difficult to hit them, I've never managed it yet.

The wildlife crimes police officer seemed perfectly satisfied.

I cant understand why someone would tell porky pies to the authorities like that though.

Good idea, slingshot with chickpeas.
Will you have pea plants next spring?

Seems like a right plonker to dob you in for that. Put some wet bread on his car roof and watch them poo all over it......that will change his tune....(wet bread sticks btw, I learned that from our builders)


'(wet bread sticks btw, I learned that from our builders) '

Might I ask you to clarify whether you mean that wet bread has an adhesive quality, or are you correcting your recommendation for a suitable substance from 'bread' to 'breadsticks'.

I am aware of the old adage that people in glasshouses should not throw stones, but may I just say that I consider you to be a somewhat peculiar correspondent. I cannot see how you can imagine that the placing of any form of foodstuff would induce your neighbour to defecate on their own car roof, or indeed why this would be seen as a desirable outcome. I ride a moped so the issue is in fact of limited importance to me.

Yep you cant kill pigeons, unless you have a license.


That's why there's so many of the things.

They taste nice and more people should be eating them; maybe after Brexit...

I have fired bits of chewed-up paper at them many times in order to get them to move on, same thing I spose.

I must confess that I wouldn't defecate on my roof. I would however make best use of the free food and ensure it is salvaged and used in a bread pudding.

Wet to ensure adhesion to said roof attracting said birds who would after eating and pecking it, have a jolly good poo.

Wet bread sticks could be used to maybe spell a message......"Pigeon cafe"......or "gotcha"....."poo here".......

Exactly!

That was the point, just a made up claim from a neighbour, same as the OP.

Not a lot of meat on starlings.

I would assume Ace High there was joking [?] and hope so anyway.

Not that I like starlings much - horrible things - but they are a sight to see when flocking.

Though that fact they murmur and don't just say what they have to say openly, makes me even more suspicious of them.

Our cat would have been bang-up for his kills this year.
He came in with a swift the other day. Can't believe it.

Loves an egg as well. Eats the whole lot.

I have neither cat nor dog, and I think a consequence of that is that I get visited by a lot of wildlife. Hence I have no need of a cat or dog.
