    Lads whats the best way of dealing with sparrows in a large cattle shed theres about 80 to 100 in it and which ever end you walk to they of course fly to the other. They wont leave of their own accord.

    You could put a dummy owl in there can be bought in garden centers or better still get a falconer to come over occasionaly with a hawk.

    That is correct, put a plastic magpie at the side of my house kept the starlings away from the food in the dog pen and stopped them landing on the clothesline and shi-ting on the clothes
