lvlasked Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 no i think its just due to the changes now people back then sure to let them up in singles or in pairs so i heard now they up in batchs of 10+ so most just follow the others home

just ask me Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 Totally agree batches of birds hit by peregrine scatter and will fly hundreds yes hundreds of miles in opposite direction,no wander they dont return. lets just say a 1000 birds get liberated they get attacked by falcons they scatter in batches in all directions what to say when they dont get attacked again maybe 30 mile down the road when they are on the run from the first attack sending young birds 100 mile in the wrong direction then a 100 mile race becomes a 300 mile race or more for some young birds if its in there first few races in there young lives very few of these will make it back
