"(d) in relation to the killing or taking of Feral Pigeon (Columba livia) only:
i. to use any device for illuminating a target or any sighting device for night shooting;

ii. to use any form of artificial lighting or any mirror or other dazzling device."

 

 

Just a question, but where would this leave you in say a car park infested with ferals?

 

The lights are always on - then the pigeons move in so you haven't used any form of artificial light... does this count?

 

 

This is simply a hypothetical i must add.

The main thing you must remember is one of the stipulations of the licence's is that you must have read it so download the relevant licence for your area and put it in your favourites you must show that you have tried non lethal methods first as in you've tried scarecrows etc and you have had to resort to more extreme methods, if you go out and are challenged you have the info you need to fight your corner.

Thanks for this!!

The normal carpark lights are artificial are they not?

 

Anyway, what you have quoted there is part of the permitted section. You can shoot feral pigeons with lamps, lights, campfires and NV. It other birds you can't.
