    In the UK is it legal to exterminate them?
    If so where can I get appropriate poison.

    Dunno.

    My grandad used to sit out in the garden and shoot them off the roofs of
    the other houses. The only thing being, is that they used to roll down
    and end up in the gutters and in peoples drives / gardens / on their
    cars.

    Except that if you even think about firing it within 50 yards of a road,
    you'll get locked up faster than a muslim with a wire filled rucksack.

    That may be the law but have you ever heard of it being enforced?
    Most airguns are fired in back gardens within 30 yards of a road.

    To own an air rifle in N.Ireland you need a fire arms certificate. To use it
    around Belfast in *not* a good idea, especially as Holywood isn't too far
    from the Garnerville area where a full scale loyalist feud is going on atm.

    Silencers are your friend, but do get a good gun.

  8. I would suggest getting an air rifel asap, before the safety nazis get
    them outlawed.

    Believe it or not; you need a firearms licence to possess an air rifle
    in the RoI. Utterly fucking daft, but there you go.

    Does that include pigeons bred for racing?

    SO's dad used to keep pigeons. Saved a fortune on pellets/buckshot
    though by wringing the necks of underperformers. :eek:)

    Any particular reason for why?

    I am sure they deserve it but I would be interested to know what
    triggered this request.

    Got the entire collection[1], if you want some more. I spose I could bung
    them on the GMail drive, if I knew how to.

    [1] I think.

    The image of Hog sat merrily humming that to himself in a park, while
    scattering cyanide seed and a bag of assorted pigeon-harming devices at
    his side amused me somewhat.

    Cunts!
    The fuckers keep shitting on my 911. They must die.
    Shooting them isn't an option. I was thinking of neat little trays of
    pigeon seed X
