percy attack

hey guys percy is chewing nicley on my best widowhood cock iam gutted wen is this goingh to stop and to make it beta there were two hens

sorry to here this gareth bet your well gutted mate

yes mate i am 3 other members had losses today as well just hope they leave us alone for a while cant see it mind

leave you alone when sitting for a while

Garath sorry to hear this bad news

we could all go back to bird nesting lads mind you it might be a tad harder to climb now lol

sorry to hear this gareth, its about time something was done about them as it getting beyond a joke now.......................

Justbeen to a pigeon meeting and gareth isnt the only one to get a visit, seems the perigrine has been buisy today, many have had a visit, I let my 10 widow cocks out today and although I havent had a visable visit there was 2 missing when they had flown and went in for food, later I found them in my bottom garden loft which they raced to last year, these 2 cocks have been broken to the attic loft all winter and havent looked to go back before, so being they both had gone missing and then did that means something gave them a fright today, maybe the same perigrine.

Yes Ian thats the only time we do get a bit of peace, maybe in a month or 6 weeks she will be sitting and we can have a rest from the attaks.

i havnt had mine out since last year, dont want to risk eggs going cold but i`ll be a bit worried when they start going out again..........

ive heard on other sites that they breed pigeons with no rings on and they tie bags of poison to the pigeon i think its a good idea

just got back from a days shooting and 2 peregrines were seen soaring above a flock of woodies but they didnt attack them ,i think theres more around than we think

David you say that you havnt had the birds out since last year, be a bit carefull as your birds will be far to fat and they wont no what a bop is, my advice to you is to get your birds out and get some fat off them I no the bops are going to have a go but dont for get you start raceing in about a month or so and I dont think its a good thing to cut your birds down to get the wait of them it dont do birds any good cutting them down they need all the tanks full to be able to race

yes good advise ginger, i was thinking of parting the hens with the ybs when they are 14 days old and then putting the cocks onto depurative..............

had percy here again today had one young un and injerd another

sorry to hear that gareth, its heartbreaking i know.........i had it last year and up till now ive kept them in whilst breeding.

hope you have seen the last of it......

Seems you boys in the town are getting it lately gareth, us conutry bumpkins havent seen much of him, seems to me it should be the other way around.
The worrying thing is shes hitting early this year might be a sign of things to come, me thinks we might get a pasting this year mate..

no chance david mate she is here every day and its not just me geting losses its a joke

i agree mart i could do with out it at the moment but well solider on we always do

bad news that gareth, martyn maybe they are early because they are hungry due to the winter and fanciers keeping them in.

David, that is exactly the problem mate, where gareth lives there are a lot of lofts, they are all starting to get the birds out, as we will be training within 2 weeks. Some people havent started getting them going yet me included, so she is hungry and as she will be sitting now within a month, shes stocking up and trying to gain weight for sitting.

mine go out every day all day up to now no trouble my loft sits in open country side
i have all sorts of BOP around here also crows buzzards magpies you name ive seen it .
but up to now birds are enjoying a open loft hope it continuse , but wount hold my breath

our first race is in 4 weks and mine havnt been out yet, i know it sounds bad but im letting the other local fanciers let theirs out first so if any hawks about they will fill up on theirs.........


got to look after your own havnt you.

this hen survived the attack
