Catapaults - Ballistics etc :)

I live in a built upn area and have noted the ever increasing population of wood pigeons on local ariels. More to the point they're waking me up at 0600 hours daily!

I can clear them off with a weedy fishermans bait catapault loaded with raisins or dried peas. I'm not out to hurt them :) The ammo seems pretty harmless to me but would I be committing an offence if a neighbour complained about my dangerous antics:

Just do it I had a pair nesting in the tree outside my bedroom window...after a couple of months of being roused from my slumbers at 5 am i got a bit annoyed... The neighbours thought i'd lost it, when they looked out of their windows to see me hacking down a tree with an axe at 6am on a sunday morning.

Bit harsh on the tree dude! Still, I know where you're coming from. Coo co coooo co! bet that brings back nightmares.

I'm usually up until the early hours of the morning as it is. No way do I want to get woken up at 6 by a wood pigeon. I also have to listen to the chirping of baby house martins outside the bed room wall. That I can tolerate seeing as I fitted the nest boxes for them

LOL, years ago I went camping in dorset at Durdle Dore. We were under the only stand of trees for about 50 miles. At 04.30 it was mayhem, all the crows woke up and fed the chicks etc. What a racket, talk about a dawn chorus! Annoying at the time but with hindsite I should have known better. Must say, I like crows, clever birds with character!
