cemetary Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Sure there is footage on youtube of this Dougie! There could well be mate, but this guy was a right bampot, he didnt stop at anything until he was told,
cemetary Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 yeah thats right show me footage of a owl or hawk taken a racing pigeon in fair flight. This guy was well known for it around here, he had the harris hawks, not owls, Try youtube, you may find something,
billt Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 never in fair flight No, but hawks don't attack in fair flight

billt Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 a harris hawk is never going to catch a racing pigeon or any other hawk.you name a hawk that will attack your racing pigeonsGoshawk and Sparrow hawk
ALF Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 your getting hawks and accipiters mixed up.would you be laughing if folk juged your pigeons as rats with wings like feral pigeons. NAW I'M NOT GETTING ANYTHING MIXED UP BUT TO SEE HIS FACE WHEN HE CAME IN AND TOLD US WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS HARRIS HAWK WE WERE ALL ROLLING ABOUT THE PLACE LAUGHING :emoticon-0140-rofl:
billt Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Accipiter nisus(Accipitridae) there from the accipiter family like peregrine falcons.when have you lost a pigeon to a goshawkChris you can't be serious, I live in West Wales and I'm big on birds and the Gos is my worst nightmare, I can live with Mrs spar and Percy but the Gos is the worst, I lost four in nine days last year to a male, he was relentless, chased the birds around the yard and was very determined, in the 25yrs. I've lived here the Gos has been by far the biggest enemy
billt Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 ok sorry to here that.i thought you ment on race days when they were racing.and not around your loft.No of course not, hawks don't chase mobile pigeons that are in full flight, they live on stealth and are very good at it
