VAGIN Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 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

yeboah Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 Had 2 racers return with half wing missingOne 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 presentEach falcon is capable of eating 300 racers each per yearNow when the figures were quoted in the nineties as 1300 breeding pair of falconsThey could eat a yearly average of over 1 million racersAt a reserved estimate today's true figure for breeding pairs would be more like 10,000 to 20,000That would equate to approx 15 million kills for them to survive
