All Saints Church Oakham Oakham Pest Control Doves of Peace

The Church has decided the  White Doves flying around the Church are a pest.

A PCC meeting in September approved the following.

 

The Doves set up home in the cavity of the stone wall  of the church porch. 

Recently the entrance to the Doves home has been sealed with dry foam. How humane??

Not the best photo but it shows the dry foam used to trap the Doves

surely  the church was not granted a faculty so quickly to do this?

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.

If your thinking of buying
some Doves to release
at your church wedding
please think carefully
