john cumming Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 totally gutted just had a sparrowhawk kill two younsters in the loft around 4pm today, i had the birds out and had started shaking the birds in, as they started landing on the loft they took off again not thinking anything of it filled the food scoop and headed to the loft, upon the loft door being opened was met by total carnage?? two younsters on the floor dead all the other birds off the eggs and a hen sparrow hawk going loopy bouncing off walls n windows trying to get out!!!!! the birds were actually frozen stiff with fear litterely sat on top of one another never seen anything like it.the sparrow hawk went straight throught the bob wires to get in and it happened so quickly less than a minute i would say as i had only came from the loft to the feed shed to get the corn, to say im raging is the understatement of the year makes me wonder if its worth the time and effort racing the birds when you see this happening and im not surprised so many fanciers have ceased racing the pigeons when this is happening all the time john
THE FIFER Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 very sad m8 and worse when you see it as you did,

THE FIFER Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 I think we should start Phoning the the RSPCA and get them to see what is happening in peoples property,its cruelty, not nature for this to happen in back gardens etc,

john cumming Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Posted March 12, 2011 I think we should start Phoning the the RSPCA and get them to see what is happening in peoples property,its cruelty, not nature for this to happen in back gardens etc,yes you have a valid point, bottom line theres to many of them, they must be desperate if they are having to this to maybe survive!!
greenlands Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 Hi John, sorry about the hawk problem mate and more so it getting into your loft.Good luck in the future pal.Lindsay.
tiger Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 looks like they overpopulated when they now are going into lofts and making a kill its time we got our governing bodies two pull as one ie we could have sales and employ someone in the pr department two let joe public know whats going on ?, jmo
REDROCKET Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 sorry to here this it seems that there's a spa hawk for every loft these days we had percy here today doo's were'nt out it looked as if it got a small crow ? right above our loft.
cemetary Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 John sorry to hear this mate, but at the end of the day, we will just have to deal with this on our own, there is no help out there for the pigeon fancy, no matter what we doo. The hen sparra will be fatten her self up before she goes to nest, so be very careful when you have the birds oot from now on.
alex wight Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 i know it might be too late but take photographic evidence and get it sent to the shu. Get it on this sight and show the anoraks what carnage they are allowing to happen. can you imagine human-beings protecting murdering human-beings, the land would be full of murderers, JUST LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING WITHIN THE BIRD POPULATION.

Treat them with the contempt they deserve. I had one of the murder protectors at my door asking for support, i let him speel the awfiest load o shitte, and then offered him a tour of my lofts the spineless basket declined, probably knew it wasnt safe. I only wanted to show him what the doos felt when an unwanted guest arrives at THEIR HOME. we keep going around in circles with this, but in my eyes there is only one answer. SO TO THE ANORAKS, YOU PROTECT YOUR BIRDS AND WE WILL PROTECT OURS.....DEAL OR NO DEAL.......FECKING DEAL, ANY PROBLEMS KNOCK THE DOOR.
