les Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 les are you a pigeon fancier???????of course i am ,what made you think otherwise
Guest IB Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 A really interesting clip, though I would have thought that if they wanted to track its movement over time, they'd have fitted it with a transmitter? Great too to see nature working to balance out human interference. Won't happen overnight tho.
Guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 wonder if we could get those beautiful creatures in ireland??!!!
Roland Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 You can get buy and get them any where. know one or two that keep as such.... know, like many of you no doubt would, a fellow capable of rearing - cost met - a few for love of it .... and so what if one or two escaped! :-/ :-/
Roland Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 I would willingly donate to a fund to buy and release eagle owls into the towns ,. Would it be loverly knowing that there were a few Eagle Owls frequenting the line of our pigeons flight! :) Further Les, I was led to belive, that all Predators, Big Cats etc. clear their area of any oppositions! This being their built in instinc. A tiger - or big cat for instance will look on and yawn at most things when belly is full.... but will soon up and kills say a Leopald etc. Heard tale that the Bird predators will hunt at night and clean up the opposition. If they didn't, let me say straight off the RSPB wouldn't give a fickled rats behind. Like Pour Invetamin... soon pointed out all and every where that Falcons / Hawks / raptures etc. use Invetamin them selves.... missing out the part 'Pour on'.

Like Pour Invetamin... soon pointed out all and every where that Falcons / Hawks / raptures etc. use Invetamin them selves.... missing out the part 'Pour on'.i have to stick by what is proven and i bet you any money that where the owl is in bristol it still has its fare share of sparrow hawks ,its all stories and tales like you say .i just wish it was true it would save me a lot of time and effort and money ,and would be the answer to all our problems when it comes to BOP ,but sadly it is not, the ivemetamin [you would have to put that much on a pigeon to do any good , that it would kill the pigeon] ,or the same hawk would have to eat a lot of pigeons with it on to kill it .if you dont belive ,then go and see a vet that knows what he is talking about ,all these things that we hope will sort the hawk problem are always fought by the RSPB [JUST IN CASE IT MIGHT HAVE SOME EFFECT ON THE BOP ]not because it will just like a lot of other products are band for the same reason.ATB les.
les Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 http://www.owls.org/Information/food.htm they would clear any birds of prey from around there nesting site that is what i have already stated ,and the ivermecten was mainly band because it was also in our food chane . .ATB les
Guest bristolkev Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 have`nt heard anything about the eagleowl in bristol for a while now...dunno if it`s still around. a fancier on here was gonna release a mate for it but the fancier`s been banned from this forum so it dose`nt look like this will happen now.
sammy Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 funny how no one has picked up on the falconer stating that it will live on pigeons also??????
OLDYELLOW Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 if eat one pigeon a day and one bop a week be far more pigeons not been eaten
Guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 I'm off to Bristol IKEA sunday, think I'll try and pinch it and bring it back with me
Guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 funny how no one has picked up on the falconer stating that it will live on pigeons also?????? Unless you race and train your birds at night, shouldn't be an issue, holdovers where the birds alight nearby might be a problem otherwise can't see why they would be a problem to pigeons
