Welcome to BYC!

I’m in Western Australia. I think that is a long way away. But I could do with any advice you have about them.
I need to catch them. I’m in suburbia and they are driving neighbours and my family crazy.

I saw something somewhere about a dose of Gabapentin. I don't know how much or how to get it but it was supposed to sedate chickens. I personally have no experience with any of the poultry birds except chickens.

Maybe @Shadrach can come up with an idea. He doesn't raise guinea fowl, but he has experience getting chickens out of trees.

Yeah, but didn't he mention something about a sling shot?

I don't know. I believe he wrote an article on removing them using a pole, but I'm not certain.

I may be mixing up stories...
