Hi mate I know it's not very nice but like you said it's nature and we all have to eat we had pylon wires round by were I live and could guarantee each race day would find birds dead and seriously injured hitting the wires I think fanciers would be surprised how many die each race day good channel looking forward to you racing 👍

Hawks can be a damn nuisance. I always let my mine out early, also don't let them out everyday. Crows and Jackdaws also keep them away and get some wound spray from the Chemist, it will heal the birds wound quickly. As previous comment Hawks don't like reflective cd's.

I left you a comment the other day about them, i use the owl balloon its pretty effective and dvd, s reflection side facing the sky around the garden seems to help

Always a crazy adrenaline rush!

1981? Crikey, that's a good age ha

Your giving the sparrow hawks cover with the trees mate

If you can get some crows around, that's the trick I've had success with - super territorial, I feed them old dry cat food. They band up and drive the hawks off. Here in my region of the States we have several hawk species, the sharp-shinned being probably closest to the eurasian sparrowhawks, and they are small, quick and fast, you'll never see them coming. Good thing about the birds is they heal quick, and if you don't get too deep a puncture, a bit of hydrogen peroxide and some antibiotic ointment and she'll be flying in 3 days. Also, they learn that sitting around makes them dinner, bet she'll never get hit again :) good luck!

Them and peregrines are a nuisance

Not a bad wound AT ALL. I've had my birds come back torn open so bad. From time to time their crops may be torn open, While healing when they drink the water, the water runs right back out of em. It happens so much that I don't even get upset anymore, at the same time I don't fly much anymore

Worse when Percy leaves its mark gashing hole got one back like that massive hole were I could see the food fall out as it was try to eat and water running out used cold freeze air spray to numb are and very fine fishing gut to sow up the bird and second skin from chemist works well and healed proper back racing after a year 👍

❤❤

I had one of my birds come back with a big hole in her chest as if it barely escaped or the hawk wasn't very hungry see recovered

Are they for sale mate❤

Also pay attention to how songbirds around your area are behaving. The high pitch squealing call I hear during the first part of the video indicates the hawk is still in sight or at least still predicted to be nearby. You can hear its presence before seeing it.

That sucks hope they are ok

Hawks you will end up pulling your hair out , they ar a pain in the but 3 times in 1day I got hit . Keep the birds in for a day hope it goes elsewhere once it attacks it will be back

Hi pal if the hawks are feeding at a certain time of the day mate then let them fly an hour after they have eaten or just before we're I'm flying mate hawks are about between 11 and 3 o'clock pal so see if you can work out when there coming over youres mate yours in sport Billy

White tip will be fine. Thats nothing much.

It's hard to watch especially when that happens

Get some iodine on any wounds and if you not using garlic and wonder pigeon in your water add it mate 💯

The hawks are killing me here in the states. I’ve lost 40 young out of 60 so far.

You need them off the house roof as on the race day they will just sit up there and not come in and you need them to be more hungry than that

Disgusting animals larson trap

Hope you treated the bird because stress on a bird goes over to cancer... 🤝

I hate that feeling believe me when I let out I let out with lots of worries I can’t believe it with all the other street birds out there they have to pick the ones that we are flying where I live. There’s hundreds of street birds, bigger and healthier they will not do anything to those birds yet they see my birds and they want to do kamikaze‘s on them.

Better chase them away mate or feeding frenzy a sparrow hawk hen and cock can only take a doo from the ground or roof tops youse second skins u get the from any chemist and put it over the hole on ches or under wing mate works a dream

Hawks are horrible are they my dad has kestrels

Lock birds in put a white bird in a cage put a Snairs with fishing line tangles his feet you got your problem solved drive him or give him to a trucker wave by by

Shoot it..

You need to get out your air rifle
