I keep shooing pigeons away from my waterfall in the back yard but they keep coming back.
They never learn. The big hawk lurks in my mesquite tree and finds the hunting pretty easy.
I just wish he wasn't so damned messy. Before he dines on breast of pigeon, he plucks the feathers. Esposa just raked the back yard yesterday and now it's a mess again. He's still out there now, eating breakfast.
Handsome bird though. I guess getting rid of the shitbirds is worth the occasional mess. LZ

Use a pigeon trap, catch the pigeons, pluck them, then let the hawk get 'em.

There is a reason squabs are preferred over mature pigeons. Adult pigeons are tougher than shoe leather. I used to murder them as a kid and bring them home to help feed the family. Pigeons fly a lot and the more they fly the more muscles they have in their breast meat. The same is true of ducks.

No way. He's my buddy. BTW, he is still out there eating and burping.
and shoot the pigeons..
I'd love to but this is a village with the houses close together. I don't want to be putting dents in my neighbor's house.

When I bought my first rifle at age 12, I earned money for shells by hunting pigeons along the RR tracks. An old widow living next door would give me two bits for one and a box of shorts was 29 cents. One day she asked me who owned the pigeons and I admitted that the only person I knew of who had a shed full of pigeons was the parish priest. She cackled and said that would make them taste all the better. She was a Lutheran. :) LZ

What about the SPCA? Nude pigeons might get their underwear in a knot. LZ

We always used duck feathers, the small ones. My dad used to shoot a lot of ducks. LZ

I'll take my chances. I thought it was worth the risk. LZ

:)
The hawk dined at his leisure. He didn't leave until about an hour ago. He picked the bones pretty clean this time.
I'd take a photo from about 5 feet but the sun-screen on the walkout won't let me. LZ

That's true. Try salting the pigeons and maybe the hawk will be tricked into eating the feathers.
