Just Heard The Terrible News

[Novice]

That's really bad. We have foxes here and I live in fear of that happening.

I could scrape some youngsters together if he is interested.

[geordie1234]

See the videos this morning...heartbreaking

[greenbar]

U got a link George,

[bigjamie]

you got a link the guy has just lost all his birds do you think its the pictures

[frank-123]

Sorry to hear the bad news Billy.

[Bryngwynt Lofts]

Absolutely gutted for Billy saw the video last night,he was so looking forward to this coming season.Then this to happen,as I said birds here for you just let me know.Clear your head now

[Tony C]

Gut wrenching, I know as having experienced it myself. Hope you get back on the horse Billy.

[William Reid]

Would just like to say thanks to the guys that phoned and txt me as it was much appreciated.

And just to let folks know after adding new lofts and aviary I had more pigeons this year than I've ever had .

The carnage lasted for 53 minutes and finished with just over half the pigeons taken.

And to be totally honest if the two of them had killed everything I would call it a day.

The only thing that is keeping me going just now is pigeons that depend on me to feed / water them.

Apart from that if I could just kill something I'm sure I would feel a lot better.

[Kyleakin Lofts]

Billy, I cannot imagine your pain and grief, but I hope you keep going. I am sure the offers were all genuine, so apart from having to re-start, you can do it. Keep the chin up.

How did it get in?

[William Reid]

Thanks Geordie for your help pal . I sent a couple of friends a copy of my security cameras. I've only asked Geordie to post it just to let fanciers know how little space these things need to get entry. And would also like to add when I was at tommybhoys on Monday for some advice he showed me the entry point where the fox got in to his and the whole made in his loft was even smaller..

Hope you can get the second video and picture of entry posted . Or maybe it's just me being thick as *expletive removed* again. Thanks again for your help Geordie.

This is devastating news and watching the video is heartbreaking as this could

easily have happened to any us other fanciers out there. If your needing youngbird myself and my dad

will be happy to bread you some.

Gutted for u mate shame u didnt have chance to deal with the culprits

[William Reid]

Would just like to say thank you to all the fanciers who offered me young pigeons and even the loan of some of their best stock birds. I've tried to answer every txt phone call and PM . But to be totally honest I've been overwhelmed by the offers. If I haven't replied too you I can only apologise. But there will be no new introductions here till I catch the foxes. But thank you for all the offers of help.

[William Reid]

Just a wee update . After relocating five foxes I decided that I couldn't carry on like this so after seeking some advice decided to invest in a electric fence. I have now had it up and running for a few weeks and I'm over the moon with it . I have reviewed the security cameras every morning and not had any visitors .

really good news,glad to hear you have it in hand,good luck with the young birds

[William Reid]

Thanks Jamie and old tammy . Hope you are both keeping well.

Should have added to my update that I don't know if it's my imagination but all my pigeons now in the morning when I go to the loft seem more alert, brighter, and relaxed. So I'm thinking maybe because they are now getting a proper nights sleep / rest

[Hawsir1957]

Billy don,t forget to put the shilling in the meter

Hope to see you back at our club for the y- bird

season .
