bullcock Posted March 23, 2017 Report Posted March 23, 2017 Feeling your pain guys,Last year we had 6 attacks before the hen hawk was down on eggs, this year we didn't breed early young birds and waited until February before letting them out and so far fingers crossed all good, but every time we walk down the back door we are expecting a hit, the closer to them going down on eggs the higher the risk of an attack.A couple of weeks should see us free for a while. Not holding my my breath.

It is a nightmare rescuing them from streets away from sparrowhawks and they haven't been out of the sky. If it wasn't for the crows I would never find them.

Cliftonlad Posted March 23, 2017 Report Posted March 23, 2017 Never seen the like of this before just have taken birds in about 12 ish heard early alarm from the gulls above loft there were Three sparrow Hawks circling. Clad I got birds in. It's getting worse :emoticon-0179-headbang: thank *expletive removed* I've got the gulls ..
blue pied Posted March 24, 2017 Report Posted March 24, 2017 Last week a had my old birds out . 15 pairs all flying well and then they landed and took off again. I went into the house and came back out as I heard the crows squawking so I looked about and couldn't see anything and as I wento walk away I heard a wing flap. I looked about again and seen my 5th open reims pinned down by a hawk. I jumped the fence like Micheal Johnston and chased it then hen got up and tried to fly away and sparrahawk pinned it again eventually a got the hawk off it and then hen went and joined in the batch. After 90 mins 1 landed and after 3 seconds and to my amazement the sparrahawk came from no where and pinned a daughter of my good hen as she fled for safety under the loft the hawk chased her. I half dealt with the problem but eventually got them all back in. I kept them in for a few days and had them out the other day and seen another sparrahawk have a dive at them but missed. Some carry on but as I keep saying to my papa, deal with it, put up with it or chuck it. 🦅🦅🦅
