Birds of Prey

Hi Frank,

Hope everything is going ok with you!!!! I tried very hard to make a kit and
fly for last IFT Comp but couldn't do that. From last couple of days I am
trying to make a kit of 4 for upcoming IFT Comp, but again....... Now I
don't have any flyers left to fly.

Here are the pictures of BOP.. and picture no: 0040 actually holding my
young blues.... Cheers..........Shahed

This is heart breaking news for any pigeon fanciers. That's why I told many
people defiantly this country (Australia) is not for Tippler. May be
Tipplers for only those people who keep their birds in the cage like a
chicken.
Last Friday I lost one young ones by Falcon. They couldn't even fly for 15
mins.

Hi Guys,
I lost a young Shannon silver Badge yesterday. I had one of its wings pinned
and one free, that is how I settle my birds when they are young. She was on
the loft roof with all the others when she was startled by a Magpie and took
to the air. She landed in my neighbours tree and settled there for the
night. Next morning she was in the air circling the loft , but would not
land.

Lost my kit of three to an over fly on Wednesday evening, got this one back
today, it's be hit by the falcon. Happy to have it back.

I Was working my two jacks up in the country, rabbi ting and ratting, when I
came across this man with a Goshawk, He said his hawk was picking up the
rabbits my dogs where moving, I was telling him about the peregrine problem
with Davy in Sunderland He said there were 5 pairs of peregrine in that
area, and he said there were 1 pair in Newcastle, I was telling him about
the eagle owl in Whi

And for the past week the B.O.P. has hit me hard one taken above loft
another a day later I didn't see him catch

That one but he chased it down it never came back, today he hit me again
[see attach.] but it managed to make it home

Just been reading my bird magazine, our friend the Eagle owl has been
killing the bops for fun, He has been catching and eating the ferocious
goshawks, and is said to be DILUITING THE PERIGRINE POPULATION by munching
on them to extreme also the Eagle Owl can live for up till 70 years LONG
LIVE THE EAGLE OWL

This is the muncher doing the killing

six stitches for two talon punctures ,some Betadine and she'll be training
next week. Gotta admire the heart of this 8 week old !!!!!

There are couple patches of woods in my vicinity, a block away or so. A big
forest is couple miles S/E of my place - that's where my red Dutch
Sheffield's get MIA :-( because that's where the real hawk territory is, not
just the sparrow hawk's ...
