THE FIFER Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 take it to the nearest RSPCA and complain about cruelty to your birds,
Guest bluemorning Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 unpaired female spars will be a problem as they dont gain weight for breeding and hunt daily.

hawked again Posted April 23, 2011 Report Posted April 23, 2011 I'm confused by this post Wallace was quartered! I have not had any bother whatsoever from MY sparrow hawk for a couple of weeks now. I hope it's too late for another hen to move in before nesting time. Something must have happened to the one that bothered me all winter.
