What a load of rubbish, you don't need to apply for a general license. Just say you are stopping the spread of disease or stopping them eating veg in your garden. Plus they are tasty, got quite a few this year.

I luv the little birdies singing, they're not the problem.

Its the blooming pigeons and crows, they sit on our electric cable and poo all over the cars and the driveway.

I run out waving/clapping my hands on a daily basis, I must look at right idiot. I lob stones, pine cones and shout at them, they are making me paranoid.

I'm going mad I tell ya...

"As already stated; the General Licence is open to interpretation. All it takes is one busy body to report you and you will find yourself having to justify your actions to avoid prosecution. If you can convince a CPS lawyer that you are acting within the terms of the General Licence, i.e to protect crops from serious damage and you have demonstrated that you have taken all possible measures to protect your crops without shooting then you may be in the clear.
Personally I wouldn't risk it".

Fair enough, if there's busy bodies about not much you can do is there. Round here we are lucky in the middle of nowhere there's no-one around to care about that and if anyone did see no-one would care anyway. You have my sympathies having to suffer curtain twitchers.
