This is a reply i got from the RSPB, i asked them what i can do if my pigeons keep getting attacked by bop Dear Mr Baird, Peregrine and sparrowhawk numbers have increased naturally in the wild thanks to better legal protection and the banning of pesticides such as DDT. No organisation has reintroduced them. I sympathise if your birds are being taken by birds of prey but if you are releasing them into the wild then they will be at risk from wild animals. You might be interested to read this information on birds of prey and racing pigeons, which explains the situation in more detail http://www.rspb.org.uk/ourwork/policy/species/birdsofprey/pigeons.aspx Were do i stand if i see a sparrow hawk killing one off my racing pigeons in my garden? Am i entilted to compensation from the sed organisation that are releasing them into the wild along with the peregrine??? ^^^that is my email
