Bootsha 1,306 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Its a real shitter when b.o.p's start on your team, and theres not a great deal you can do about it , obviously dont use an open door system. But the routine with your birds that works ( or did used to for me) i.e, out exactly the same time morning and evening, exact same routine, will obviously be picked up on by a b.o.p, if you move your times around it could have an effect on your team. I did know of a chap who was having trouble at one time and he just shut up the loft and let nothing out for a week or two, that seemed to make them go elsewhere for food, but they'll probably come back. Dont even let your stock birds into the aviary, if they can see birds about your loft they'll hang about for a meal. Not much help i'm afraid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lady hunter 162 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 not let them out since racing finished,first time out today and 1 down already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bootsha 1,306 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Get that person / thing in your avatar to walk around the loft twice a day, that ought to keep any non humans away from the loft. The only other option is thoroughly illegal, hit or miss, but an extremely effective solution, your problem will either explode in a puff of feathers or will fly away.lol. Only kidding,its just nature i suppose mate, they were here first and they need to eat, cold comfort i know, but true never the less. Sorry i couldnt give you any better advice.
