shoot them and find a butcher to take them off your hand, you will need a lot of paperwork for a business like that i would of thought. | ||

Re: selling pigeon ??
Easier and maybe more valuable swapped with others than sold for cash, maybe? Try an ad here offering to trade them. |

I think they have relaxed the "game" selling rules recently.

But if the birds are being 'butchered' then you'll need to contact Environmental Health. | ||

Butchered yes (unless using the 5 day exemption) but gutted & skined no.

In England anyway: http://www.basc.org.uk/content/game_licences_ I'm not sure if game licences actually covered pigeons as they aren't technically game. |
