I had a yearling hen return to me on monday morning with a big hole in her side. Ive decided to call her Lucky. She was hit with a bop as a y/b then hit outside the loft with a perigrine in the winter and now this how lucky is she. Thats her finished till next year

That's my 2 nd bird in two days out of racing this year with rips in her side with Percy at this rate it's not looking good for the distance races for me that's the team of racers down to 18 that includes yearlings what chance do you have it's sickening

Had 2 racers return with half wing missing

One lanarkshire in at present with most tail missing

Club mates with same problems birds injured and teams being decimated

With the falcons now rearing young if a source of racing pigeon is available which it is at present

Each falcon is capable of eating 300 racers each per year

Now when the figures were quoted in the nineties as 1300 breeding pair of falcons

They could eat a yearly average of over 1 million racers

At a reserved estimate today's true figure for breeding pairs would be more like 10,000 to 20,000

That would equate to approx 15 million kills for them to survive

Scary when you put it into figures how much they could eat
