Grrrr Sparrowhawk

[Mattydoos79]

So horrible to see sparrowhawk kill one of your Pigeon

Is there ways to scare them off from your loft?

[Colin8]

I have 2big plastic owls next to the loft,they seem to be working up til now,you also get cheap wind spinners they change colour as they spin,seems to put them off

[tiger]

No once they make a kill they will be back for seconds tyred all waste if time and money if you want to keep them safe lock them up

[blue lad]

Have seen them about the town these last few weeks!! If your going to let them out

Stay out with them until in .

[Mattydoos79]

I’m staying out with them until they get inside, found out it’s my fault as I went inside when 2 of my Pigeons hanging about then when I opened my back door seen the hawk fly off and seen my dead bird on ground

Good idea I hate them I seen it flying before with 2 crows harassing it but never expected it to kill my doo

I’m a nature lover I would not do that I would just scare it or do something rather than kill, I accept it’s nature and circle of life plus we breed numbers so one loss while we have many in loft

[greenbar]

Your birds are on the menu.every time you let them out.listen to the depots take action.

These are stapled loosely to the fence and rotate with the least bit of wind.

if a hawk dives in they will see their reflection they will turn away , another one the best i think is a crome globe ,keep it well polished those are best as it doesnt need to be coming in on a strait line to it like mirrors they see it from all directions

I have one on my landing board,enlarge the pc and see the reflection on the globe.
