Guest Denny Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I have two nesting pairs near me! I collected my young birds from Pecked Hen only yesterday and I am already dreading letting them out just in case . 9 of the 14 beauties Pecked has passed on to me! A credit to her most certainly if I say so myself, so you can see why I don't want to let them out now! :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time my birds out they spot them, only a matter of time before they get the taste of racing pigeon me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I have an established pair where I live, and I don't believe they are that territorial either as I have also got a pair of Sparrow hawks working the area as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaz Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 looking at the map it shows no peregrines near Edinburgh so in my opinion it is a lode of horse sh** as i have one in my neighbourhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Owen Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 If it is any concilation to you, I do not loose white pigeons in my area. I live in the Eastern Valley of South Wales and there are a heck of a lot of peregrines around here. It is reds and mealies that seem to cop it here. I have one very good red cheq stock cock that breeds one or two reds or mealies every year. I never get to keep them. Last years red cheq hen won a race and was third fed and going well, but as usual she did not survive. On the other hand, I have three white and very light grizzles in the widowhood cocks. They seem to be OK. But I have to say that the peregrine does not seem to be able to get the widowhood cocks. I have seen him have goes at them but they always seem to get away. In fact they seem to take the p--- out of him by showing off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Owen Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 HawkBait your a total clown. You know nothing about peregrines. Like all predators they will take the easiest option. Yes the weak, the tired and, more importantly the young. So your long distance pigeon that is nearing home after a brave and determined bid for home will be a prime target. I have had the evil gits target my young birds and actually play with them. Not take any, but damage and terrify many. I don't know if you are deliberately trying to be clever or perhaps funny, but you and smart as--- like you should have your say in a pigeon club around here. You might learn something, you moron.

I get the feeling this guy ( HawkBait ) is RSPB as all he wants is to upset. Better just to ignore the silly wee boy and he'll go away an hopefully play in traffic. If not, someone will catch him out, then we'll see who is fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
