Strange request re falcons/falconers

[CinnamonChristmasCookie]

If anyone has a falcon and would like it to have some hunting near Watford, Herts, please pm me! The YO would like the pigeons in the indoor school gone and no longer trusts his shotgun aim (thank God, we can stop hiding!)

If no-one on here comes forward this organisation may be able to put you in touch with local falconers in your region who use their birds for other bird control, etc,

You can't fly a falcon indoors, although you can scare the schmitt out of the pigeons just by walking in the school with one on your fist. If you want someone with a bird of prey, then you are after someone who fly's hawks. A Harris or a Coopers hawk would do well, a Redtail may be a bit cramped, it depends on the size of the school.

There are falconers who use hawks to scare pigeons away from airports, shopping centre etc professionally. They may be able to advise your best course of action.

As an alternative, try finding someone with an air rifle, possibly via BASC.

Ditto Neil M a harris should do the job well enough
