Would be interesting to start a thread asking how many PB members have actually experienced a hawk strike this year alreadyhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif

 

Would add my name to it, TWICE so farhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/cry-blow.gif

Sorry to hear of your bad luck Tooshy Boy. For a number of years I have lost two or three birds to BOP, and the final straw was two years ago when only letting them out at weekends I was hit every time I let them out four times in a row That November. (1) All hell let loose when I was entering the loft, I turned to see the Sparrow Hen on the groung behind me. (2)Walked 20 feet up the path and turned to see her on top of a Bl Pied cock. (3) After being alerted by the noise of the crows, I found the Sparrow hen in the next green just starting to strip a yearling Cock. (4) same as (2). By this time I could hardly get the cocks to come out of the loft.In desperation I wondered if I could distract them someway that would at least give the birds a chance to escape. I picked up a set of rope coloured chaser lights and put them on the garage roof. they were lit and put on to a fast blink every time the birds were out. The garage is only six feet from the loft, and I can say that I have had very little losses that I would attribute to BOP. I do not claim this to be an answer to the BOP problem, but it seems to have helped me.
