Kyleakin Lofts Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 expletive remove if you want trouble at your loft put feeding out and you would be as well as ringing the dinner bell I stopped feeding them a while back for that very reason. Scatter under the hedgerows is about the best you could do because it is dense enough for them to hide in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Davie Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 I've been feeding them for a few years now and I canny say I've had any bother.Jim, do you not think it just encourages the sparra hawk, the woman next door was feeding the wee birds with seeds and it was having a field day with them right outside my window, I helped by scaring them away on a few occasions but eventually had to tell her what was going on , she has now stopped feeding them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemetary Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 A put the feeders out if am doing anything around the birds, they come and get a feed, once am finished, take the feeders and put them into the hut. Sick of seeing the sparra hawk cock nailing the wee birds, woman next door spoke to me the other day about this, I told her why, she does the same also, not feeding the sparra hawk to nail the wee birds. Ave robins, stuckys, the odd bleeky, and the crows, gulls, and the pest owe magpies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanarkshire lad Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Well if the hawks taking them I don't see it happening but I've seen the tell tale signs that they've been about like a dead goldfinch below the window obviously hitting it and as for the doos I don't get anymore bother than anybody else I've not had one hit by a sparrowhawk for a good few years now.

sandy25 Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Aye the R.S.P.B. are doing a fecken grand job right enough wi their B O P Need anyone say anymore surely the penny will fall on Joe Soap's heid sooner or later But somehow I doubt it will be sooner ..The R.S.P.B.should be disbanded for over stepping its mandate ....and the Royal Warrant be removed from them for the damage they have done to our natural birds and wildlife which will take a ,generation at least to recover and in some cases will never recover bassa vandals on a corporate scale .No excuse except money grabbing bassas .rant over ....... all the best sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
