THE FIFER Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I got a hawk strike today was in the loft and all the birds outside scattered, i rn out and a hawk was on top of the loft with a bird, my shouts made the hawk take off, the bird flew along the house a bit, came in about 3 hours later ,not badly damaged just seems to have a sore wing, but i have another bird missing,
cemetary Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 They are all over the fecking place, got home on wed from work, to get handed a ring number from my friend to say it was picked up at a peregrines nest only a mile or so from me, what the *expletive removed* did he no take something with him for and leave it at the stripping place for, he has got brains of a battery hen, wait till i see him, fecking donut. The local guys around me are getting it tight with the spaarowhawk hen just now. I would love to catch it, give it some loving care. ;)

Guest Davy Fleming Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Listen Lads I know how heart breaking it is to see our beloved pigeons being eaten alive and you feel helpless to do much about it . But look, it is the easiest thing in the world to catch them within 24 hours and get peace for at least a while anyway just message me or give me a ring on 07961441470 and I will tell you what to do
DJ Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 a couple of years ago i didnt even know what a s/hawk looked like but then they started to appear and last year i started getting hit by them but this year has been far worse than ever before,whenever i let my birds out the s/hawk just seemed to appear so my birds are now staying in the loft till the hen s/hawk starts to sit her eggs debbie
cemetary Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Its the first year i have been struck with the bestard, i have an eagle owl at the otherside of the hut, but it happened on the other side of the hut, and have had no bother until then, i saw this coming when i saw the steckys lifting a minute before it, then bang, I could have clouted it, but had nothing in my hands, i would have given it if i had the chance, bestard.
Guest Davy Fleming Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 To those that have sent me a nessage and that is quite a few I am trying to get through them as quick as possible please bear with me and I will message you tonight asap
