DOVEScot Posted September 18, 2007 Report Posted September 18, 2007 thanks bruno will be up first light to get them in heh dovescot you better watch out it this same bird was on top of my loft two sundays ago lucky there were no birds out then about a week ago it tried to take my blue pied but i managed to save it then a week later it strikes again you can see the result im sure it was looking around to see how it could strike Aye, never complacent about the hawks, just glad it flew over today
EAGLEOWL Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 ;DBART IF THE FEMALE SPARROWHAWK KILLED YOUR PIGEON SHE WILL RETURN .SHE WILL KNOW THERES A DINNER WAITING FOR HER EVERYTIME YOU LET THEM OUT.THE TROUBLE WITH THE SPARROWHAWK THEY KILL FOR FUN NOT ALWAYS FOR FOOD. EACH SPARROWHAWK TAKES ON AVERAGE THREE SMALL BIRDS A DAY OR ONE PIGEON A DAY WHICH THEY PREFER DUE TO BEEN A VERY RICH FOOD SOURCE 9/10 ATTACKS ON PIGEONS ARE BY THE FEMALE THE MALE IS TO SMALL TO ATTACK PIGEONS SO PREFERS THE LITTLE BIRDS. WITH A ESTIMATE OF AROUND 34,000 PAIRS OF SPARROWHAWKS ROAMING AROUND YOU WONDER WHY THE PORR LITTLE SPARROWS ARE GOING MISSING . MY BIRDS ARE OFTEN UNDER ATTACK BY THESE SO OUT COMES KOJAK MY CANARY HE SEES THEM OFF
Guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 Who or what is Kojak, Eagle Owl and how does it see the hen sparrowhawk off ?

jimmy white Posted September 29, 2007 Report Posted September 29, 2007 AND I HOPE THE RSPB SEE THIS TOO >
DOVEScot Posted September 29, 2007 Report Posted September 29, 2007 If the estimate of 34,000 is correct then thats a lot of feeding they need, plus add on the ones they just damage, then add on the ones they traumatise Then consider the perigrine numbers, My view is they are wild birds and should be allowed to feed on wild pigeons etc to keep the population down naturally but when the top of the food chain gets too heavy then something should be introduced to lighten it, no wonder they are sh## scared of two eagle owls in yorkshire :-/ The minute they start feeding on domestic birds then they should be considered a nuisance just like a dog with sheep
jimmy white Posted October 1, 2007 Report Posted October 1, 2007 sent e mails to rspb,,,, b os ....shu,,,,,,newspapers ,,, this just cant go on ,, or sooner or later some fancier will find himself in trouble ,,, we must find some legal means,,,even loop-holes ,,,but legal,
jimmy white Posted October 2, 2007 Report Posted October 2, 2007 this just has to be rectified ,, fanciers just cant go on like that much more,, sorry this has happened jamesb ,,,,its just far to common nowadays ,,send pic into s h u and e mail rspb ,,, and the problem is made worse as if the hawk has done this once,, itll try again :-/
