Frustration

Dusty87

We've just moved to a new house. Know absolutely no one around the area.
Looking out into the back field this morning there is over 20 pigeons pecking away, and 3 magpies further up. I cant even throw out the larson trap. Where i last lived i could step out the door and had fields and fields of permissions. Now im imprisoned in a house with Ireland AM to pass the time. I may get the walking boots (am between cars atm:rolleyes:) on and meet a few farmers. Now i know what a animal trapped in the zoo feels like:P

Throw a bit of feed around your back garden & lure em in - then get a sling shot out the top window :D:D
You'll get imaginative with the boredom.

Know how you feel, moved a while back and the same thing is happening me every evening, look out the window see rabbits playing and any amount of Grey's and mags landing in the field beside me. I did OK with the Larsen from it.

I wouldnt even put the larsen trap out as id be afraid the farmer wouldnt be too happy. May chat him first. And cant put in the garden as people driving by would see it.
But yeah, when and if i do get permission i reckon il do quite well with it

Mine is in my garden in a housing estate Dusty, all the neighbors were delighted to get rid of the magpies had them plagued and lots of small birds around now.

God, i would have thought housing estates would have brought the most interest from neighbours. Your lucky you've no antis for neighbours. You'd be looking for call birds reguarly

Had one auld biddy who hated my guts but i made her realize what damage they were doing, she even use to pop over to see the magpies had food and water if i went away.
