thunderboult Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 hi guys, the guy next door to me(the one with the hawk) as made a complaint because one of my stock sheds is to close to the house, to stop the arguing and to stop him from putting the hawk out in the garden on race days(i could only send to 1 young bird race last season because of this) i have agreed to move the birds from there, but i've nowhere else to put them and have lost my job recently, so i would like to sell them on here. i am willing to give 15% of what they make to the site, to do with what ever they wish. the birds will consist of 5 pairs and 4 hens,all bar 1 will have a pedigree. i was thinking of a auction running for a week. what are your views on this. thanks yours in sport adrian boulter. ps. some are proven breeders but a lot a new birds i bought last year.
Guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Have you not got a mate or club member who would be willing to house your stock birds or even better, allow you to move your shed to his place.

Guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 That's a shame mate it was just a thought, but I know what you are saying. Hope you can find work soon
bird man of meath Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 sorry to hear that m8 u have to deal with them in the air and in the garden ( hawks ) plus an f****R next door best of luck m8
OLDYELLOW Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Have you not got a mate or club member who would be willing to house your stock birds or even better, allow you to move your shed to his place. great idea , cant you ask a friend or relative if you can relocate the loft ? but if you have decided that getting rid to cut back i understand given your circumstances
thunderboult Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 to show i'm not trying to rip anyone off, i will let you have them on loan first and if you don't want them/ no good i'll take em back. i can't get any fairer than that.
thunderboult Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 none have been bred off this year either, i have'nt paired up yet.
bazza Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 sorry about the job situation,i know how you feel.put some details up and hopefully you ll get some interest,best of luck with it,
thunderboult Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 i've asked to join the seller's part , i have'nt been told i can, so i won't jump the gun. thanks
John k Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Sorry to read of the situation, is it a hawk or a falcon the next door neighbour has? If it is a falcon he will need what u call a A10 article issued by defra if he a not got one of theses he will be in for the high jump.... On the other hand if it is either a Harris Hawk or a Redtail he does not need a A 10 article due to the raptors being indigenous to this country... But on the other hand if is either of the above Hawk just mention to him that if he starts coming the *expletive removed* wipe he seems to be that you may also be getting in contact with the local council or environment office regards the screaming of the Hawk is making... Raptors especially Harris Hawks/Redtails if not reared correctly will imprint themselves on u therefore every time they see u they call for food as if they wud do with there parents Loud screaming noise....... I would say 90% of the above hawks Harris/Redtail do this not to being reared in a secluded aviary from being a eyeas.......... Good luck m8.....

Good luck m8..... hi john, it's a harris hawk. he told me, if i get rid of the loft by the house(in all fairness it's only about 5ft from is house) he'll put it away on race days. so i got to keep the peace.
Guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 If it was me i would have the birds out dawn til dusk as its the hawk who will end up injured, the sight of the birds so near yet so far will drive him mad!! Pigeons will adapt and get to know he not a threat altho some will get jittery. I kept ferrets at one time next to the loft and at first they were jumpy but soon realised it was no threat, even when one escaped one day!!
Guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 :osorry to hear your having trouble Ade, are the dark uns in your stock loft ? was hoping to try some off you next year ?? andy.
thunderboult Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 i'll write the list out then post them this evening. i'll get photo's tomorrow.
John k Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 hi john, it's a harris hawk. he told me, if i get rid of the loft by the house(in all fairness it's only about 5ft from is house) he'll put it away on race days. so i got to keep the peace. Don't let him bully you or predict to you what you should be doing my friend, If the loft is within your boundaries its got nothing to do with him even though u say its 5 ft from is house... Like i have said m8 Harris Hawks are notorious for screaming (food imprints) and if u mention to him your not happy with the screaming the hawk is making you will also make a official complaint to the environment office which in turn he will know they will make him get rid of the Harris hawk........ Mention it to him and see what feedback you get off him..... 98% sure he will lay off your case m8..........
John k Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Another thing is m8 i don't know u as a person don't know if your a quite guy or a guy not to be messed with don't know how you react to things..... If you really wanted to be a pain to him you could go out and buy some day old chicks and when the guys not about lob a day old chick over into is garden so the Harris can get it i presume the Harris hawk is bowed out on the lawn tethered.... By throwing the odd chick over now and then would put the hawk above the weight he keeps it at for manning purposes hunting etc etc.... Sure he would not bow Harris out on the lawn if its weight kept creeping up ;D ;D ;D ;D.........
thunderboult Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 he don't use it for hunting,only got it to p88s me off after we had a argument 1 day about his son squirting the hosepipe over the loft while i was waiting for the birds .
OLDYELLOW Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 enquire about his licence as stated before
John k Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 he don't use it for hunting,only got it to p88s me off after we had a argument 1 day about his son squirting the hosepipe over the loft while i was waiting for the birds . Sounds a rite rod puller then m8, if he don't hunt with it then no doubt it screams like hell then as the hawk only knows of him as the food source imprinted its self on him...... You can still lob a few chicks over m8 if he is not about, once the Harris starts gaining weight it will then loose its bond with him as well wont happen overnight but like i said the couple of chicks or even road kills such as rabbits pheasants etc lob them over he will then realize he cant bow is bird on the lawn due to someone throwing it food :)
John k Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 enquire about his licence as stated before Unfortunately he don't need a licence A10 article for this breed with it being indigenous to this country... But the one thing i am confident on that this Harris Hawk does scream call for food.... Now thunderbolt as told me he don't hunt with it. Just mention to him the screaming the hawk is doing your not happy with can settle it 2 ways he shuts up lets the guy get on with is pigeons or if not thunderbolt will be making a complaint to the environment regards the hawk screaming....
mark Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 best thing to do mate oh happy days best for who jim,? if his loft is in his bounderies i would tell him to get stuffed.
