Am 100% sure its only birds NATIVE to UK witch are protected, not HYBRED CROSSES, i dont believe this Fancier can be convicted under Wildlife crime laws,But its still Crimal damage to someones property witch works both ways,If am wrong then RSPB should be prosecuted for their disposal of RUDDIE DUCK problem, i visited place and was shocked to see 15-18 Perigrine x Saker falcons 4 Sale, also think SHU should support this fancier,( if not to win to let RSPB know they will SUPPORT pigeon fanciers) who have a case, it would send STRONG message to Fanciers that they r not alone, and maybe Fanciers thinking of packing in would have rethink, Good Luck to this Fancier ,
