We’ve had massive problems with falcon attacks on our birds for the last 25 years at the loft ,with many pigeons old and young missing for hours sometimes days before they return,in my opinion once pigeons have been attacked and split from the batches many of these birds especially YBS won’t go back into the sky and make for home thus leading to massive losses year in year out ,yes sickness is a problem and fanciers shouldn’t be sending pigeons that are sick, but for me the biggest problem is the falcons attacking our birds every 5-10 miles on the way home let’s address the biggest problem this great sport is facing if we are going to survive .racing YBS when percy’s teaching there young to kill is total madness in my opionion ? let’s get together before it’s too late.
