lanarkshire lad Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 I watch it regularly and they seem to be doing ok without the Racing Pigeon as the main source of food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank-123 Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 I watch it regularly and they seem to be doing ok without the Racing Pigeon as the main source of food.I thought the would struggle too but nearly every nest I check they are all feeding well without racing pigeons. The ones in the wild might be struggling a bit hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arranview Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Us not racing will have zero impact on them as their the fastest predator on the planet they take anything from bats to seagulls only thing it'll do is make them even more deadly by having to work for a meal instead of us putting it on a plate for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
