I was at Blair Drummond safari park today were i went to a B.O.P show they had falcons and other stuff the barn owl was quite cool but then the big gun comes out a Sea Eagle it was not fully grown yet the wingspan was 8 ft!!! the women made it do tricks like dive bomb at the water and pick up its food! Then she told everyone that farmers wiped them out years ago blaming them for killing there animals which the women said they are scavagers and would have just scavange there dead animals so they all poisened them and wiped them out! Who is kiden who she told us five mins before that they are known to pick up roe deer yet she said they wouldnt kill farmers lambs or sheep etc lol she has obv been boiling her head

an eagle owl will eat peregrines plus young by day or night. will also eat anything big enough to make a meal of sitting on nest crow sparrow hawk magpie ect ect.

 

as for sea eagles or golden eagles anything up to size of medium roe deer are a fair target including dogs and foxes.golden eagles are know to frighten red deer over cliffs or rock faces.

 

so the eagal owl wins bird of the year for me.

 

you won,t see the rspb spending thousands of pounds reintroducing them back to Scotland like thay did with sea eagles

I went to a guys hut the other day and he had eagle owl noises blasting out a pair of speakers.He puts it on when the birds are out and said it keeps the hawks away.

 

Can see how it'd maybe work,I was S***ting myself.

 

I misunderstood him over the phone,the neighbours began to get a bit p***sed off when I had Hotel California on repeat whenever the doos were oot

i am not sure on this but i have been told barry kinnear has a remote controlled eagle own on roof. been told press button and the wings open and flap a bit. if he does it will keep bops well clear of his pigeons it also stop them landing on house roof. i know some of his mates are on hear maybe thay know better
