Is it legal to shoot a collared dove in your own garden?
Found this:
"A number of methods of killing, injuring or taking birds are prohibited. These include gins, springs, traps leg pole traps), snares, nets, bird lime, electrical scaring devices and poisonous or stupefying substances; bows or crossbows, explosives (other than firearm ammunition), any gas or smoke, chemical wetting agent, artificial light, mirror or dazzling device, device for illuminating target or sighting device for night shooting, automatic or semi-automatic weapon (unless it is incapable of holding more than 2 rounds in the magazine), or shotgun with an internal diameter at muzzle more than 1 3/4 inches."
"It is illegal to:
Carry a loaded or unloaded airgun or imitation firearm in a public place without lawful authority or reasonable excuse.
Kill or injure any bird or animal protected by law unless you are authorised to do so under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981. "
I take it gins a type of trap n not a typo?
I've not slept past 4.45am for nearly 4week now - enough is enough
Any other method of getting the thing not to come in my garden each morn (or coo COOO coo OFF)??
