Air rifle pellets may not leave your boundary so, unless you have the permission of those around you, then I'd not go that route. The police take a seriously dim view of that type of thing even if they are only pellets.

I don't know how big your garden is but if you have room these work remarkably keeping the pigeons off our rape http://www.scarem.co.uk/ and I am using one to keep the doves out of the conifer trees in my garden. 12MY Black FF VSE

If you shoot em at dusk off the lines i bet they wouldn't be there long as Fox's, Cats... all sorts would come by and have them off.

Interesting ideas there. I guess the kite is only good during the day when there's a breeze - do the little feckers remember that a hawk hangs out around these parts and not come back? |
