preston powerblast Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 It's the same story everywhere guys, I had an email of a guy who had been in hospital to have a knee replacement operation, he reported that already this year that he has lost 15 birds. It's that bad his neighbours are knocking on his door asking him to remove the carcases from their gardens.We have two old birds already taken off the loft, we've even started to lob trees down and an old telegraph pole, to stop it sitting there waiting for the birds come out.Were dreading letting the youngsters out.

Guest bluemorning Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 if the ground is frozen up your way or covered in snow the small birds feed in hedgerow bottoms and are hard for the spars to catch thats when they will pay more attention to your birds keep them in a few day while thi weather passes.
