I would collect the pigeon out of the bin and pass it to the police as evidence. He shouldn't own a gun.

Why not, it’s perfectly legal to own a firearm in the UK providing he has the required paperwork, just because the rules are stricter here doesn’t mean people can’t pass the required tests in place

It's a privilege, not a right, if you were shooting across the neighbourhood with an air weapon, which is a criminal offence, you can say bye-bye to your FAC.

He shouldn't have a gun because he is clearly unaware of the rules surrounding their use.
 
Growing up we had a next door neighbour who shot Magpies claiming they killed the smaller birds, however that was clearly just some tenuous reason to indulge in his sick desire to play with his gun and kill something.

He didn't fire it that often, but on the odd summers day when you're out enjoying the garden do you really want to be confronted with the sound of some man-child shooting a gun.

It does beggar belief how arrogant and out of step some neighbours can be, not just with this issue but everything besides like noise, parking, boundary encroachment. I'll hopefully live on a plot someday away from any neighbours. It really is the one thing that does absolutely nothing to enhance your life it's just something you have to endure.

Magpies do eat birds, usually raiding nests and eating babies or fledglings but IMO this is no excuse to kill them, it is nature.

Agreed he should lose his licence (if he actually has one) due to misuse but that’s for the law to sort out no someone on the internet, I have a couple of friends with shotgun licences and it’s really difficult to obtain one.

Agreed nature should be left well alone. Domestic cats in residential settings are probably the number one killer of small birds above anything else but no sane person takes it upon themselves to kill them.
 
Lol gone are the days of making a make shift cage, piece of string attached to a trap door and a cool beer sat in the conservatory wait to yank when said pigeon went inside.

Yeah. I think those days only ever existed for the mildly retarded.
