They're freaking scavengers, so "You bechum, Red Ryder." I find that the
original D-Con is impossible to get any more - so I use these green
pellets from Tom Cat with bromethalin (the active ingredient in the
old school D-Con grain baits. Tom Cat should be available in Canada as
Wally World, Amazon and all of the builder's supply places around here,
along with many hardware stores.

SH> Also... I'd have to check if legal to kill them.

You're not feeding it to them. They are raiding your rodent control
stations. Thieves that they are.  Bv)=

     Title: Gefuellte Tauben (Stuffed Pigeons)
Categories: Game, Bread, Pork, Dairy, Stuffing
     Yield: 4 Servings

     4    Pigeons
   100 g  (7 tb) Butter

     1 bn Parsley; chopped
    80 g  (3 oz) Raw bacon; diced

     1 pn Sugar
     1 md Yellow turnip; [substitute:
          - carrot] scraped

 Combine the breadcrumbs, egg, milk, bacon, and sauteed
 minced onion into a loose stuffing. Season with
 chopped parsley, marjoram, and the other seasonings,
 as well as the pigeon giblets (diced heart, liver, and
 peeled stomach; the liver should be blanched to retain
 the flavor while keeping the stuffing light in color.)

 Stuff the pigeons and sew closed with cooking twine.
 Season the outside with salt and pepper. Roast in
 buttered baking dish along with the scraped yellow
 turnip. Baste frequently, with the pan juices.

 Serve with different salads.

... I hate it when I see an old person and realise that we were schoolmates.
