Public Consultation Survey on the Wild Bird Declarations

J.R.

Dear Stakeholders

Please note that the Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage launched today a public consultation survey on the Wild Bird Declarations that allow for the control of certain protected wild bird species

You can share your views on the Declarations by completing the online survey available on the Government of Ireland website located here

If you wish to complete the online survey you should do so by 17:00 on Friday 24 February 2023.

Really important that we all complete this, imho.

It literally only took five mins, or possibly even less, to complete.

At the end of the form, I said that:

1. decoys should be allowed for corvid shooting - greycrows, magpies, rooks & jackdaws,
2. electronic and manual calls should be allowed for predator control - mink & fox.

You should post this on the Farming and Forestry forum also. Farmers have a big issue with starlings - not listed under derogation as well as Rooks, pigeons and Grey Crows.

Very good suggestion, Rosahane.

Its a perfect example of where the lads in farming and in shooting, have a common intetest, so should be working togeather.

Maybe @Cass could get one of his counterparts on the agri forums, to help highlight it?
