Looking for Pigeons

[JakeyBaby]

Wondering if anyone may have an idea where I can buy some pigeons in the Rochester area. I have tried trapping them with very little success up to this point, so now I'm trying anything to get my hands on some.

 

Thanks Matt

Parkway bridges after dark with a net and a flash light.   They are free!!

I have looked there, the problem is the bridges are concrete and I did not see any evidence of birds

Hamlin Beach bridges and the more western bridges are steel beamed and used to hold a lot of pigeons.

Pidgeon fanciers association of rochester...they have a website that you can probably get a phone number from.

Are you pre baiting your trap with the doors open? That is the key part to catching pigeons. They need to feel comfortable going in and out of the Trap and then you close the doors.

I am, I think I have just not had it where there are big enough numbers of birds. Also not having a bird for a decoy hurts to.

I'm also looking for pigeon launcher's if anyone happens to have them that they want to get rid of!!

The parkway bridge under Latta Rd. used to have a ton of them nesting.....
