Default Desperately Seeking "pigeons"

I am looking for a new source for pigeons. These birds are needed for a training seminar hosted by the Calgary Pointing Dog Club in July.
We will pay for caught birds
If anyone knows of anyone that is catching pigeons, or know of an area where we can go get some, please let me know
We are seeking approx 200 pigeons

I know that giving away someone's source for pigeon's is like giving away the secret fishing hole, but I am hoping someone will be able to help us out.

Thanks,

The North side of my barn/shop seems to be a favorite haunt for those flying rats.
If you can tell me how to trap them..You can have them...

are you in the Calgary Area?
I could have someone come over and look at your shed and suggest how to go about catching them

I would just go talk to some farmers, pigeons are not welcome on most farms, we are 2 hours north of Calgary but you would not have a problem finding places to trap those pests around here.

pigeons are so easy to catch- opne a grainery, wait 24 hours, close the top lid and the door, go in and throw a sheet at them, or use a fishing net.
I called a friend of ours, but most of theirs have already been fertilized.
