bad feather loss

[Guest]

Think you need to think about preventatives, Sam. Folks on the forum have been playing a CD of the Eagle Owl call for an hour before letting their birds out. Seems to work, keeps hawks away.

 

Are these gardens 'country' or woodland gardens? I'm told the sparrowhawk ambushes its prey by launching an attack from some sort of cover, like a tree. Where does it hide and can that be blocked in some way?

antiseptic spray then just cover wound with vaseline.

have found pigeons to be great, quick natural healers  , and unless the cut was so bad i would stich it [but would advise a vet on this ] better to leave well alone ,where possible,, off course antibacterial spray would do no harm ,, i stitched a bird for a freind [ who will know what im saying]  the bird was cut deeply very long cut , through the skin of the crop, food and watter were just comming back out the gash ,, this bird healed miraculously and was as proud as punch when he actually won a race [the funny coloured cock j,b]
