I was on a feral cat removal contract for a well known multinational shopping chain and after catching a very large and particularly vicious tom in one of our cages a “knowitall greenie” threw curry powder in my face which burned my eyes and he then attempted to free the feral which promptly bit and scarred him for life😂😂😂

Done some pigeon clearance in a couple of local town centers a few years back, had to book in with plod before we started at midnight.Had some youths sitting on walls started giving us grief but we ignored them. Then one shouts out 'Here comes a copper, now your for it'. We didn't leg it like they thought we would & plod just walked over to us & started talking, he asked us how many we had shot, we told him 72 & he said 'Well done' & walked off, you should of seen the kids faces!!! Finished at 3.30 am with 133 pigeons & some pissed off kids!.Checked the town later in the week & it hadn't even made a dent. Council now tries to limit the pigeons access to food.

^ That you see above (with the Pigeon Profile pic) is the dictionary definition of "But Hurt", commonly found on those with a soft spot for festering disease ridden creatures that defecate throughout the city, safe to assume that he probably votes the same way. Seriously though, those pigeons are a pest, there are valid reasons for their removal. It might be ok for you to cry out for their defense, but considering what those with small children living in the area might think of the mountains of shit those things are leaving on the ground, in playgrounds and the people themselves, your stance of mollycoddling those filthy things is untenable. Stop with the warm fuzzies and grow a pair.
my wife hates taking me to the city or town centre cos I complain about all the pigeons that need culling, she says its safer for everyone if i stay on the farm. this video could be my ticket to clean up the town.
We had a pigeon problem in our town until some peregrine falcons set up housekeeping on the roof of one of the tallest buildings in town. Problem solved.
Roy ,I do some pigeon control here in Belfast warehouses, mealstores and a football stadium and get the same reaction from the public about being cruel. Great vid and good shooting mate. All the best
Can't believe they let you shoot in built up areas. I'm so surprised the fuzz didn't continually harass you. But yet the best way of culling the winged buggers is by rifle. They poop every dam where.
@@davidacosta147 guess you never lived in New York City, just moved out 5 years ago after living there for 50 years in midtown Manhattan, so they are dirty
Nice shooting Roy! I know for a fact if I tried to clean the pidgeons out where I live near bournemouth I'd be locked up!!! Im not sure if my Whisper X would really thin them out too much tbh lol!
tell Roy I am sure if there is a square beam on that night light its almost certainly a LED light.Great for lamp shy foxes and rabbits who are used to seeing conventional white light.
I'm surprised you didn't inform the police prior to starting your task. One phone call from a panicked shopper and your could of had armed response on your back! Also Roy, LED lights don't have filaments ! Just saying
I would imagine the area is owned by the supermarket, as long as you have specific method statements and risk assesments in place, which he probably had, you then simply inform the police before starting, with a start and approx finish time, your given a CAD number, and your good to go
hello verry nice video! The job you're doing, is it legal? Do you need some special permission or insurance? Or you just knock at the door of the shopping center "hi, it seems there are a lot of pigeons, I'll shoot 'm for you :) " Or did they ask you about? is this your profession? thank you ;) keep doing this good job! I like it !
you apply for a job in pest control first, then gain your marksmanship certificates for urban use air rifles, I do pest control for london underground, its not shooting every night, you have rats,mice,cockroaches,midges,flies etc to contend with too
My Grandfather use to be in pest control, and one job was in Preston (UK) to control the population. They used a poison feed to kill them, but the poison was too weak and they flew off only to rain down randomly on people and everywhere. This method is certain a better and more humane method to control the pests. Pigeon breeding numbers are silly.
Alphachloralose pure is what he used. The more they move about the more effective it is. They basically die from hypothermia. It’s used against mice too. But not that common nowadays as everything is S-GAR
This seems more like a reason to have fun and not really a pest control. If it's really a pest issue on windows and pipes at the mall then those are easily fixed by inserting barbs. That can also be done on the border of the roof tops so that the pigeons can't sit on the edge and crap down on people.
***** So you're saying is an money issue. A mall doesn't have the money to do such task. It's better to have pigeons and other birds shot at, dead, rot, bring diseases, and smell. Correct me if I'm wrong, the complaint is that birds are pooping in areas they don't want them to be at. To fix it, what I said to do, or as you say, find it cheaper by having people 24/7 sitting and shooting. If it's not 24/7 then the issue will remain and no resolved. Not sure how your theory works.
***** Do you know how fast pigeons can have more pigeons? It's like rats, they don't stop. While you shoot one another 100 grows. You will never be able to catch up on its birth rate. And trying to wipe out a species in the area even if possible isn't sensible to do. Plus they don't land anywhere, they usually go where food is easily accessible. Once the area is prepped with prongs and forks that they can't land they'll basically travel elsewhere like a public market - where it should have the same thing since I'm pretty sure you can't shoot anything there.
It is honestly both. As someone who has cleared pigeons for local companies in my area, I can tell you that they are destructive little buggers, and keeping their population in check, be it in the city or in the farmlands is a good thing. When you tend to see the destruction they do, it sorta becomes like shooting field mice in a barn, at first it started as a irritant, later it becomes a sport/target practice or way to make some quick and easy money. When companies pay you roughly $7.50 to $50 a day to clear them out, you tend to stop caring about the morals and realize you are there to do your job.
you could put barbs up (im a pest controller btw) but it can be expensive and not always as effective as youd think. plus by putting barbs up all that happens is the pigeons move somewhere else, your effectively passing on your pest problems to a neighbour which is wrong and unfair. I used to be a survival skills instructor years ago, pigeons are perfectly edible. I think people just need to get over the lies and myths about animals and they could easily be shot or trapped for food just like wood pigeons. a lot of other countries eat feral pigeons, why not us?
firstly, i am dyslexic and have trouble spelling. Secondly take a chill pill before writing, its not the rats fault either but their environments. Also, i am not moaning but stating a valid point here. Also, what joy do people see in a video about pigeons being shot? read this: Now People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) has gone to the police, claiming infringement of the Animal Welfare Act 2006.

How the hell did you manage to get permission in the centre of London?!
Council
By the council it was edmonton in north london
That’s what I thought
They must really trust your skill.
that's not central London, that's Edmonton in the Asda car park
Cops didn’t even ask for any papers of permission etc. cops- “what are you up to?” Hunters - “Oh just shooting sht” cop - “sweet as” drives off😂
The council gave them permission....
Theres a police station 100 yards away from where they were,they would of been informed by the council of contractors doing pest control!!!
HOW CAN I APPLY FOR THIS JOB. THANKS
@gussstavoI won't even ask for that lol

roy i wanna join with you, lemme know how?
nice AirArms you have there fella, good job :)
Outstanding ... brilliant job keeping the flying rats at bay
Hi - It was about 30 birds
Need more of it in many more cites! Nice vid
A great head shot at 2:12 now almost 4 years later, how is the pest control getting on with controlling the problem? cheers. John.
That pigeon lived I know it his name was Chris.

They're the same thing in the UK.
Doing the same but it's housing area and pigeons fall in other people houses.
Great video, great effective shooting AND promoting the sport in a positive way - well done.
What do you do with the deceased pigeons?
They usually go into a farm renderer. / Charlie
I like this guys attitude towards anti hunters
That looks like a really fun gig.
And again good job guys yet another reason to stay subscribed

Wicked video guys. Thanks! Wonder if Roy would be so eager to help out with and collect rats! 😁 Good man, very patient (with the public!) 👍
Excellent job 👏 👍
very nice does the lamp come with a filter as i would like one but prefer the green filter ??
whot make again?
How do u get permission to do this
Good job! Congratuliaton and besteht wishes from Switzerland.
Is that helping out at all? I know an area where pigeons like to nest and I come there to shoot them but it does not seem to be doint any thing!
Can't believe they let you shoot in built up areas. I'm so surprised the fuzz didn't continually harass you. But yet the best way of culling the winged buggers is by rifle. They poop every dam where.
For pest control in UK they using rifles up to 16J or bigger power?
+DjVirusPL Both. Rifles over 16 joules need a licence. All airguns and probably kids' popguns need a licence in Scotland. / Charlie
I know that they need licence, thats why I ask. Is it possible to do good pest control without licence with rifle up to 16J
+DjVirusPL Yes it is for small vermin and pests
Any examples ? :)
great job done on cleaning the place out of these pigeons.....
Why does it sound like he's rapping 😂
May I ask, what was the rifle he was using for shooting those birds?
where can i buy a light like that in the states?
I live in London and want to do a bit of pest control on some weekends. How would I go about doing this?
Hi - get in touch with a local gun club, get shooting, then ask if you can go out with anyone doing pest control
/ Charlie
I will live on
This guy has the most awesome job in the world
Do you have any idea on the price of the light?
Are these guys hunting with .177 or .22?
I thought it was illegal to shoot pigeons with an artificial light? or are ferals exempt from this?
Hi do you use a 177 or. 22 thanks
This has to be the best job ever!
Don't let Mike Tyson see this video.
could u come to Rugeley staffordshire
How would I go about getting a job like this on weekends cleaning up around London?
Could you guys do a compilation of all the pigeon shooting videos and use blue danube as a soundtrack?
You are not allowed to disclose your location at Edmonton Shopping Centre
Some places are bringing in raptors to deal with them. I guess the raptors don't have to worry about anti-hunter sentiment.
Good job Guys,some should realize the disease that city pigeons carry.
Felix Perez that's bullshit
Get a life! You most probably get bad illnesses from people not from pigeons. Cannot believe people believe what some other horrible people tell them.
What about the "disease" you get from cat and dog poop?

Nice shooting Roy! I know for a fact if I tried to clean the pidgeons out where I live near bournemouth I'd be locked up!!! Im not sure if my Whisper X would really thin them out too much tbh lol!
I don't know but i have a Hatsan AT44 with a lot more power because the 12ftb is not enough
whats the name of that airgun? full name please :)??
Looks like lots of fun-Can I come next time please?
Brilliant video
Because a problem is a problem, and the alternatives, such as poison have more drawbacks than pellets.
tell Roy I am sure if there is a square beam on that night light its almost certainly a LED light.Great for lamp shy foxes and rabbits who are used to seeing conventional white light.
look on google for firefly extreme lighting. i bough ta 1300 lumens torch from them a few years ago and its superb..
What gun do u use
Do you take them as food afterwards
Not ferals - only woodpigeons
mental I no that shopping center. Roy please let me tag along on one your shoots
I'm surprised you didn't inform the police prior to starting your task. One phone call from a panicked shopper and your could of had armed response on your back!
Also Roy, LED lights don't have filaments ! Just saying
They likely did. It's unlikely every officer was informed.
I would imagine the area is owned by the supermarket, as long as you have specific method statements and risk assesments in place, which he probably had, you then simply inform the police before starting, with a start and approx finish time, your given a CAD number, and your good to go
its just a spot light. Auto zone. walmart. I dont think it was mounted on a gun. I think another guy was spotting.
Do you walk like a pigeon to attract the birds?
BTW LED's don't have filaments.
I got the wicked light w400 predetor and hog light i love it works great i got the green led 2 so it works great for coyotes.
these are my favorite british people
is lamping pigeons legal ??
+Wayne Gittins "Oh no the light it's so bright you're blinding them. We need to ban using a flash light."
nice shooting
Accurpell are great pellets
How much are those gun
you'll have your answer in on of the previous videos, go check it out.
Great shooting
We have the same problem in NYC with pigeons but due to the village idiots elected to our city council hunting is illegal in the city.
Use a slingshot

I love the taste of the rock pigeon or "feral" as you call them!
wood pigeon has the best taste. The ferals are not 'rock pigeon' these ferals just eat anything, and are full of disease, I wouldnt eat them.
I promise you they will be fine. I would imagine wood pigeon is similar to our mourning dove or Eurasian Collared Dove
azwer125 yeah, you really shouldnt eat those ferals. theyve more disease than an urban junkie
@@williamsixsmith1718I have eaten them before. But not from cities. I won't from a city. From farm barns were the feed on grains they are fine
Send that lady a DVD of this ! xD
since the dawn of time
How did you get permission to do that?! I'm not allowed to shoot in a field with a footpath a mile behind the hedge! Great shooting :)
awesome job
Better this than poison which might kill our valuable singing birds or dogs. Clean shot, fast without suffering.
