We have the same problem with woodpigeons, they infest our area and we live near the beach not in the countryside.

We never saw the buggers until a couple of years ago.

The fat greedy feckers eat everything that gets put out, they're like flying grey footballs!

We live right on the coast and the problem is worse with the pigeons than it is with gulls

My grandparents loved the fact they re established the families of smaller birds back into the garden and now the food supply just isnt there for them..

Sounds rather similar to the male swinging experience, you set out looking for women, yet predominantly attract views and fabs from other single males!

I was joking I wouldn't dream of doing it. There are really good bird feeders that are designed for small birds and keep bigger birds like pigeons, magpies, ravens etc out. The little birds can have a feeding frenzy while the bigger birds get the huge amount of scraps that fall out as the small birds feed.

This. You can get "squirrel-proof" feeders that will keep the bigger birds away from it, but please leave food for the wood pigeons - they need to eat too, and they don't harm smaller birds. In our garden we have a feeding table and two hanging squirrel-proof feeders. On the table a moment ago were 2 wood pigeons, 3 jackdaws, 5 sparrows and a robin - they all get on if there's plenty of food.

I would set up an electric net system.where the little ones get through no problem but if they are too greedy they get frazzled on way out like their big cousins the seagull and crow.teach them a wee bit about right and wrong . .not that I've gave it much thought. X

my hubby puts out 3 feeders and lots of bread and hes always moaning about the jackdaws saying they are greedy and i say no they are just hungry.

we have wood pigeons too they need more food because they are bigger.

i do get annoyed about someones racing pigeons though because their owner should be feeding them.

Just use the hanging bird feeders as pigeons can't hang on to them but can feed on what's dropped

I was just shouting at the pigeons.

I put string round my bird feeder so only the little birds can get in.

"Put each birds names on the edge of their plate. "

I get my seed in 18kilo bags from the market. I always try to make sure it`s got smaller seeds in it and not the larger wheat that the pigeons and collared doves prefer. Having said that, my biggest problem is magpies, crows and jays, also keeping up with the supply of suet cakes for the spotted woodpeckers!

if there is stuff on the floor, you WILL get rats, winged and 4 legged. use a fatball, hanging mid air, if a pigeon or rat can get to it, they deserve a treat.

The pigeons here are greedy sods. They need more food because they weigh the same as a small dog. Like someone else said earlier, they are like grey footballs.

A handy little tip for bird watchers is to mix rat poison in with the birdseed. Then all you have to do is wait for them to drop dead in vast numbers around the feeding table and tick them all off in your bird book. Save yourself hours of tediously trying to identify them in flight.

Make a cage enclosure around your feeders that only smaller birds can enter. You can buy such feeders but they are very pricey. Otherwise, large birds often find it impossible to use some of the long vertical feeders, so check out what friends and neighbours are using.

we had a rat run a couple of years ago - they ran up the birdtable and took off with a piece of toast -

ive seen plastic owls that keep pigeons off rooftops think they might scare away the little birds too though

Tip.....Watch old episodes of Pigeon Street and learn the Pigeon lingo.

When the greedy gits turn up at your bird feeder you can then tell them to Feck Orf in Pigeon language Dr Dolittle style.

"Wood pigeon makes really good eating! "

I would be careful of eating woodpigeon in a town, as they are better when they are from wooded areas.

I was told never to feed pigeon from a city area to my hawk, as they carry a disease that can kill my bird.
