Nearly Gone!

[sapper756]

I was sitting watching tv when I heard a "thud" on the back door, on looking out the kitchen window I observed the sky filled with crows, making a terrible noise. (I had my natural cocks out for the first time, since the racing stopped) as I opened the back door, to my surprise a Hawk at my feet on top of a yearling cock, I took my shoe off and threw it, hitting the hawk, enough for it to release the bird. The poor bird made it,s way in between my 4 wheely bins, only to be followed by this hawk, on pulling a bin out, the hawk took off. Fortunately the bird has minimal damage. I still have 5 cocks out thoughhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif

 

Thats them shut up again for a whilehttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif

[THE FIFER]

I had mine out on Monday and have discovered I am one short

[lanarkshire lad]

I had one hit by sparrow hawk on wednesday,if your letting them out i think its a must to shout them in after exercise or make sure you keep an eye on them.

Been know now to chase and enter the loft then bust out through Traps. Many say they fly past them into the loft.

I always had a baseball bat at back door. Must remember to renew.

Had two Hawks about 4 years back attack ... both then left me well alone.

Think a little deterrent upon the birds is always needed. Wether out flying / training or racing.
