Hi everyone,
Last year we had 7 or 8 dead birds in our garden. Mostly pigeons and magpies. We caught one magpie falling from the roof of our house on cctv. I caught one of our neighbours using an airgun. None of the birds looked like they were injured or sick. We reported it to the police, who told us it wasn't illegal to shoot birds?!? But since it was out of his boundary they would speak to him. They also said they would let us know the outcome.
We never heard from them.
I came home on Thursday to find another dead pigeon on our decking, which I now have to deal with. Birds don't just drop dead from trees do they? This one doesn't look as if it has been attacked. The thought of looking to see if its been shot is really unpleasant. I don't know what to do now. The police were useless the first time.
