pigeon killed

Hi lads just thought I would share this with you all as its so unusual. A woman called at my house today asking about the pigeons, she had a dead one with her in a bag. When I asked her what had happened to it she said she was watching TV when the pigeon flew through a doulble glazed window and landed on the dinning room floor, smashing the window, now that must have been a very fast pigeon, any thoughts ? I said it must have been chaised. I have heared of birds hitting windows but not going strieght through???

seems very strange martyn, i know they do go mental when being chased by bop/hawk but to smash a window ? i dont know......seems odd

Same here, I saw the pigeon it was very bloody but not as bloody as her floor according to her. Now she said double glazing thats 2 pains of glass...mental. It was a streeter no ring, I might call at her hose and have a look, someone in the village told her I had pigeons she thought it was one of mine?

wont go through single pane of glass nevermind double glazing this cant be right

martyn, i cant see a streeter going through a sealed unit, after all a pigeon is skin and bone and doesnt weigh very much at all does it ? in fact you can stand and throw a house brick at a sealed double glazed unit and it would bounce off 9 times out of 10........

chances are her dog or cat has killed it and she doesnt want to say........

at least that get rid of one of them horrible streeters,i hate when they come in my garden and even more so catching them when they go in the loft

ive had them on my loft too ray, horrible things............do you remember feral used to keep them and take them from the nest in town centre.....?

yes we were all dreading him coming in the exchange

yes,i remember

yes david, I think you could be right. Maybe someone told her I had pigeons and she was frietened it was mine and I would be mad. It seems almost impssible to me the more I think about it.

bring her on forum she will be good for giving us a few laughs it tickled me anyway

I hate streeters as they bring this sport of ours down because people who don't know the sport of racing pigeons think they are all the same flying rats

AND WE ALL KNOW DIFFERENT HAY

dont mind them streeters that is as long as they dont come in my loft but youve got to give them credit they can survive in some freezing conditions our racers wouldnt last two minutes

i think thats why no one seems to understand about the bop problem because they dont understand that our birds are not just streeters/vermin.........they are a totally different thing when you think about it and compare them, the genaral public dont understand the problem mainly thats why the rpra should try get them educated about whats going on........

Agree with you on that one Ian, the streeters must have the best immun system compared to the common racing pigeon

remember the red one lol, he was also very cheeky and swore alot,i bet he looked as good as his birds

Ray which Red One, confused mate

he put a red pigeon on the site ,i,m sure i,ll have a look

O.K but still confused????????????????//

it was a streeter
