G'day guys,
We have an absolute ton of feral pigeons around here. I have half a dozen freerange chooks on my property and every morning I throw out a few scoops of food for them, which attracts the pigeons down. I counted about 35 of them this morning...so, the question is, how do I go about trapping them? I have Googled "pigeon traps" and they are available commercially but I'd rather not spend $200. I've caught a couple in a cast net but that's pretty innefient.
