How to trap feral pigeons?

[chicken farmer]

I got a couple buddy's that have a few feral pigeons in there barn and they just shoot them so I asked if I could try to trap them and they don't mind so I was wondering if anyone else here has trapped feral pigeons and if so how? I know you can buy different one's offline but if there any home made traps or do you guys have any ideas? I have an extra coop/pen empty so I was thinking about raising some pigeons. I appreciate any info

Easy to catch.

Put food on the ground in same area for a few days in the barn.. so they go to it to eat.

Them put a basket or plastic clothes hamper thing.. anything really.. over the food held up with a stick which has string tied to it.. you wait holding the other end of the string.... then just wait till they go to eat and pull the string ... basket traps them.

Good idea to have hole in top to fit you hand into and big enough to pull out the pigeons... if you just lift the basket up some might escape under it.

Good luck.

This trap works on a bob trap system and is repeating. This would be ideal for your application in a perfect world.

I have a trap that is called a figure four trigger system and a basket or some thing to fall over or on the pigeon just look up figure four trap and it will show you on youtube.
