Aye a few lost birds the last scorcher, then again they seem to be losing them every w/e Chick gave a pair of birds to Valiant and they bred him a fed topper and it has just been reported hawked

One must do what one must do Brian

Happy birthday to both of you

One relocated Rab and it's mate next

Correction, he never got the rabbit

I'm on the case Cem

Only two pairs left in the dovecotes Sue and the males spend the night in the old loft, I will see how she feels but she is definitely getting tired of it all as it has been a bad year for hawk attacks as well, her fancy birds ain't been out this year at all

I agree Mick, I have had a few hawk attacks but the injuries are well covered up, I cannot see any punctures on it, the breast or the back is not split so the get to the vital organs as normal with hawk attacks . I would not rule it out as I have seen crows chased off a hawked bird as they don't like the attention One thing for sure the crows that hang around are being relocated

Aye but whats the split or is it only one winner

I picked one can you tell me, I might get one for Chick

Flatulence

I think you are trying to cover us in bullsh!t

That sounds about right the crop seed was all around the carcase and the head is missing, I still wouldn't rule out a first kill by a hawk but the crow is going to be relocated just in case

That is one thing I am thankful for is I don't get any gulls around but I know Valiant from Edinburgh is plagued by them and magpies, you sit in front of his loft and the roofs around their are covered with them

Same here

Erupt

And I would recommend you to anyone but I do get mixed up with the two Julies'

We have to watch our bantam chicks till they get up a bit but this is the first time thet have bothered let kill one of our birds

Well their territory is shrinking back a bit

It's been a bad year for the hawks Mark and now this, Chick is really upset and feels like packing it all in

I have thought that but it was one single crow on the bird, I thought it would take more that one just to scare a hawk away We will never know for sure but it is all eyes ETC on the crows meantime

Aye but a bit far away as you say

Just when you think you have the hawks at bay Chick found a crow on top of one of our birds in the front garden, we used to think it was good to have them around as they mobbed the hawks, not any more

A Sheikh's son goes to Germany for study. A month later , he sends a letter to his dad saying: " Berlin is wonderful , people are nice and I really like it here , but I'm a bit ashamed to arrive to school with my gold Mercedes when all my teachers travel by train." Sometime later he gets a letter from his dad with a ten million dollar cheque saying: " Stop embarrassing us , go and get yourself a train too.. "
