A very interesting and informative site,but as a pigeon fancier and bird lover of most kinds I find it disgusting,on realizing the amount of effort being put in by so many to further the production of even more of these already overpopulated predators,at the expense of all types of birds,

The only good thing is it may highlight and show the victims with rings, or maybe they will be removed from the nest, if not then pigeon governing bodies should highlight any findings and capitalise on the project :-/

I am sure there will be a few once they start feeding ;)

Just had a look and the interest is high, 100378 views,

 

You can bet your bottom dollar that all pigeon rings will be removed from the box, but will they let any one now, ?

 

It has cost around £5000, for the box and all the accesories to be purchased.

Another item on TV was that Buzzard nos are dropping and a plan is being put into action to set up new breeding programme Maybe the Buzzard and Peregrine will fight it out for areas and leave the pigeons alone as I don't see the Buzzard as such a big threat.

The buzzard isnt a threat to pigeons, its the sparrowhawk and the peregrine that the only problems we have.

 

The buzzard will only take the likes of road kills etc, as the other 2 will take anything.

 

Ther has to be something done, if they can rear 4 a year i wonder what there numbers are up to now.

Not in this area they are not, they are abundant, and the good thing is they keep the hawks at bay most of the time re territory, we have four in our surrounding area, but we still get the occassional visit from the hawk, possibly young ones as the same bird has escaped the grim reaper twice  ;D ;D ;D
