A good fishing catapult and using skittle sweets as ammo would help then.

This is probably the best safest option.

I forgot to say, another neighbour told me yesterday, the crows have disconnected his tv ariel twice which results in paying someone to get up on roof to reconnect it. A third neighbour has had to wrap his wiper blades in mesh to prevent them getting to them.

Predator birds like crow family watch what you do. I have the odd rat waltzing about, yet I could do with a crow or two. Just pigeons doves and generally standard little tits.

I would hazzard a guess and say they do far more damage than crows. I know in certain parts of London, Paraquets are the hooligan bird due to their numbers.

I would have my airgun out. larrsen traps work well, leave it till dark to remove them so the others dont see, change the call bird every few days.

I have considered a larsen trap but for it to be effective, it would need to be at front of house and i know someone would release the bird.

i bought another wiper blade earlier from Halfrauds so will see how long it lasts.

Smother them in laxatives. The neighbours will moan about the crap and you have a solution…

Interesting I put some rotten grapes out for the birdies. Naturally Mr and Mrs Rat wanted to get in the act. Then I noticed a young rat also making three what I can see. Now the fun part was a pigeon reaction normally was to move around or away. To my surprise when watching the pigeon actually challenges the rats one by one. Youngster and family later on was scared off by the pigeon flaring it's wings
So I taking it method stood stark naked flaring my arms in a the same pigeon motion.
Unfortunately not all neighbours around here were amused by my antics and the police was involved.

I know everyone (there is only eight houses on my road) will be suffering with damage to some degree but i guess some people just accept it.
