Do any of the wonderful keepers of the birds of prey here on this site have a problem with coming out and killing some pigeons in a urban area?
Here's the problem: My girlfriend's neighbor feeds the local pigeons and now has a flock of roughly 150 birds that hang around her house/neighborhood constantly. I'm not sure how anyone here feels, but to the rest of the neighborhood, they are nothing more than flying rats. We would all like to see them gone, but every time we contact the local, county and state government about it, there is nothing they can or will do. I can't sit there and shoot them with a firearm, since it's in the middle of Newport, in a neighborhood, and they only land in the one yard where they are being fed. They are quickly becoming a menace and a problem. So...again, I ask, are there any falconers on here who would be willing to bring their bird(s) to Newport, DE for a little bit of rat hunting?
Thanks!
