Pigeon fanciers say birds of prey are killing prized flyers - Exclusive By James Lyons 31/08/2009 Pigeon racing is under threat from rising numbers of birds of prey in towns and cities, enthusiasts claim. Peregrine falcons and sparrowhawks are colonising urban areas with the blessing of some councils to help control vermin. But pigeon fanciers say they are eating their prized birds, some worth more than £100,000. David Bills of the Royal Pigeon Racing Association claims they slaughter up to 270,000 pigeons and song birds a day and wants the right to cull them. He said: "The wild pigeon is streetwise whereas the racing pigeon is focused on getting home, oblivious to other things. They are easy prey." Salford MP Hazel Blears has raised the issue in Parliament but said the 50,000 enthusiasts are ignored because of their image. Advertisement - article continues below » She said: "With pigeon racing people think of cloth caps and clogs while falcons are beautiful." She refused to back a cull but said humane ways need to be found to stop them nesting. The RSPB said only a fraction were killed by birds of prey which are recovering "from centuries of persecution" and added: "We're privileged to have them." They claimed most pigeons had accidents when too exhausted or were eaten by cats.

Page 29 todays Daily Mirror, David Bills speaks out about the perils of racing pigeons and the hawk problem, of course the R S P B insist the more birds are killed by cats than hawks...its a start, now Mr Bills needs to keep it in the national press...do your bit, E-mail the Mirror....mirrornews@mirror.co.uk Keep it clean, get your point across without sounding totally ignorant (which is how a lot of people perceive the racing pigeon enthusiast ) PS NOT MY WORDS COPIED FROM OTHER SITE,,
