there not saying that pigeons cant be shot period but under the general licence you have to have reason to do so ie crop protection or fouling animal feeders ect so its arguable that there's no reason to shoot a pigeon in the average garden.

Just because its on the licence doesent give you the right to shoot everything on sight.
Now that the public have yet again been misinformed and the public ignorance level steps up a notch. Just think before you plink.
