An off-shoot from 'Song Birds' thread, birds behaviours  'avoidance'.

 

Often thought that with pigeons 'safety in numbers' just doesn't apply. I feel a small team of 12 or so birds has less chance of being attacked than a large team of say 30+. Don't know how we would go about changing it, but it just doesn't make sense for pigeons to fly in big batches and in straight lines..

 

Have watched wild birds here, and noted starlings always break into small batches and have an undulating flight path, like they were skimming over invisible waves in the sky?  Same with woodpigeons, never see more than two in flight together, flightpaths are always at least 100 yards apart, always one leading, other trailing by as much as 30 seconds, always one higher, and one lower in the sky.

 

Maybe we are training our birds to be hawkmeat?

I think because we keep our birds in unatural conditions they are not street wise like the ferals, I have seen lots of posts where someone keeps a feral because they are wise to the hawk and are first in the loft

If hawks were propotional to the rest of the bird population then it would be more acceptable but in some areas its not thanks to the strong lobby for RSPB in gaining and keeping them protected

Bird watching is big business to RSPB santuaries and visitor centre hides, photography, tourism, telescopes etc,

I once asked a warden in Boat of Garten Aviemore about the wildlife in the area, in front of everybody he gave this big speal above how he love the wild life, then I aked for his comments on the shoot that was organised at Rothymurchus Estate by the RSPB and if he had in fact taken part and killed any deer ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

He rubbished it, but my friend is the butcher for the Rothymurchas estate so I even told him the haed count on the shoot ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
