If their roosting you can get a small calibre cartridge for a rifle that wont damage sheeting, go in at night close the door, leave the light off,,get someone to hold the torch while you shoot you'll kill the lot of them in one go.Any 1 have any idea how to get rid of pigeons out of sheds ?

no because responsible use wouldn't allow the pigeons to access the baitAir rifle it is so . Rat bait wont kill pigons will it ?
Cage traps is the best way with them.Any advice on how to catch/kill magpies that are coming into a shed here? Can’t shoot them as it’ll break the roof and I don’t have an air rifle.
They’re coming in to rob eggs from blue tits and swallows. I want to kill them in the most painful way possible.

You could get a loan of a cage trap from a local gun club. Once you catch one of them, keep it and he will attract more into the trap.
Easy enough to get a Larsen,hardest bit is getting a call bird,you need 1 from a few mile away
Cleared about 60 pies out from here the last few years and the increase in songbirds is unreal
5I managed by making a straw nest with some egg shells layed to look whole. They couldn't resist.
Know of a lad left a chicken in one for a day then took her out leaving shells in looking like eggs.
Had a pie within the hour!
I keep ying I need to go shooting more. Can't find the time. They are a plague around here. Remember a pair being an unusual site 20 years ago. 5 at a time is nothing now.

There was a little nest near the work bench, beautiful little set of whiteish orange eggs in it. I think it was a wrens nest. Shortly after the eggs were gone. I’d say it was magpies.
They were in there tonight terrorising a pair of blue tits.
I’m sure there is a local club but I don’t know any of them.Cork.
Do you have an active local gun club in your area. They should have vermin traps of their own where they would have them in use for vermin control. It is in their interest to keep vermin numbers down in order to promote game and wildlife conservation.
I hope you had a zoom lense Geoff!!!Not on the farm but very near View attachment 76893
I was in a boat with a white outboard motor and a swan thought the motor was another swan and kept attacking it . I could hear Jaws music. A lesser person would have hit it with a paddle.I hope you had a zoom lense Geoff!!!
I wouldn’t go that close to them!!!
