Birds of Prey The use of raptors as a deterrent to scare pigeons (and many other bird species) from their roosting sites is becoming more common. There are a number of companies in the UK offering this service. Raptors are flown in or around a specific building or site on a regular basis and the client is told that the resident pigeon flock will move elsewhere to roost. Clients are also told that an extensive culling operation is necessary in order to reduce pigeon numbers prior to flying the raptor. The theory is that once bird numbers in the area reduce to an acceptable level (as a result of culling) the raptor will then be flown and will establish a territory. In practice it is the culling that operation reduces pigeon numbers on the site (in the very short-term) and the flying of a raptor has no effect whatsoever on the surviving flock. The client, however, sees an initial reduction in pigeon numbers (as a result of the culling operation) and assumes that the £90-£150 per hour that they are being charged for flying a raptor is money well spent. Pigeon numbers on the site then increase beyond the pre-cull figure (normally within 4-6 weeks) and the client realises that the raptor is having little or no effect. Far from seeing a reduction in pigeon numbers they actually see an increase. The client has simply been sold a very expensive and ineffective culling operation. Many organisations perceive the use of a raptor as a ‘green’ and ‘natural’ method of control. It is neither of these things. Most of the companies offering this service are falconers that are jumping on the pest control bandwagon and hoping to make a quick and easy profit (falconry is a bloodsport where a human being derives pleasure from seeing one bird kill another). Many companies make fantastic claims about the effectiveness of their service but if flying a raptor is an effective control in its own right why do companies then need to cull pigeons prior to using a raptor? Because they are well aware that a raptor will be completely ineffective as a stand-alone control. Nottingham City Council employed a falconer in 1999 to control pigeons in the city centre. The bird was seen attacking and killing pigeons in broad daylight in front of children and passers by. The scheme received a massive amount of bad press and had no effect on the pigeon population, yet the cost to the ratepayer was £5000. For £5000 the City Council could have put a completely effective and humane city-wide strategy in place that would have permanently reduced pigeon numbers in the city centre. In the last 2-years Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London and renowned pigeon hater, has paid out vast sums of public money to a pest control company to fly several raptors in London’s Trafalgar Square on a daily basis. These raptors (Harris Hawks) have slaughtered large numbers of pigeons according to witnesses, tearing pigeons to bits (in many cases whilst still alive) and in front of children and other visitors to Trafalgar Square. Even though this disgusting and inhumane method of control has cost ratepayers in London large sums of money, the service has had little if any effect on pigeon numbers in Trafalgar Square. The large reduction in pigeon numbers has been achieved by starving pigeons to death, not by using lethal controls. Is this what Ken Livingstone meant when he told ratepayers that he would create a “Cruelty-free London.” in his campaign for the Mayoral Elections? PiCAS would not, under any circumstances, recommend the use of a raptor to control any feral bird species. It is a cruel and completely ineffective method of control where the pest controller is the only beneficiary.

hi wings sorry to hear of your mum mate i to have been told my mum has not got much time as well and just a few weeks ago she was cleaning the loft for me too now shes just happy sitting looking out the window from her bed keep the head you might regret giving them up so think long and hard give yourself some time good luck keep strong

Updated 18th August Friday 16:40 hours. Next update 08:30. Apologies for not updating at 16:30 but on occaisions circumstances beyond my control prevent exact timing updates. Weather The country can effectively be spilt in two relating to tomorrows weather conditions, the north and the south. A low pressure system centred north of Wales will control the weather over England as it throws out bands of rain which will mostly affect northern regions. The south will see some good weather in the morning with a little showery activity but some good sunny intervals. From approximately the Midlands northwards cloud cover will be evident over many regions. Rain will move from Wales north eastwards during the day over north eastern areas. So to conclude prospects for racing in the south are good where as in the north the opposite will apply. Winds will be light south westerly. http://www.weatherpigeon.co.uk/127123.html http://www.pigeonnavigation.com/ could be another scotch corner :'(
