Sparrowhawk Too Busy Chasing Sparrow !

[Hareydave 1,214]

I Don't Understand Anyone Not Liking Sparrow-Hawks . . Remember When Putting Pheasants /Partridge Down Its You Creating The Unbalance Of The Food Chain No Ifs Or Buts . . No One Likes The Mink For Its Destruction & Shout Its Not a Native To Britain Well The Game Bird Is The Same Only It Makes Money & The Spa A Native Bird Is Condemned For Takin Advantage Of The Unbalance Created . . Also Feeders In Your Garden Gives The Sparrow-Hawk An Advantage A Situation We Create Then Moan When A Predator Takes Advantage !!

if im paying 3 or 4 hundred for stock birds an it killing youngsters before the hit the roof..then it would need invest in a crash helmet it fair game

When Putting Birds Down The Spa Is Only Doing What Comes Natural Bit Like A Dog Chasing A Hare Something Those Wankers Banned Which We All Condemned & To Think Some On Here Slate The Do-Gooders (Me For 1) For Releasing Mink Which Kill Our Native Wild-Life Yet If They Release Non Native Birds They Think It Should Be Ok To Kill Our Native Wild-Life . . Basically Its Exactly To Same Just Roles Reversed . . Oh & Money Which At Times Changes People's Outlook & Morals !!

Just cause they're perched in a tree doesn't make them tree sparrows. Get some proper pics up so I can tell what they are.

Was out with stewie/lurcher1 and couple others obe day when one swooped down knocked the sparrow out of the air about 15 foot high and swoop down next turn picks it up like poetry it was all within 15/20 metres of us as we were walking along great site to see

when you keep birds you couldn't like them sparrow hawks . a hen bird had me tortured it use come through the hand hole in back gate like a missile, that was until somebody set fish tank in front it

there a lovely bird but they don't have the tools to kill a pigeon so it ends up getting eating alive.

have you ever heard a starling screaming when a sparrowhawk gets one ... its a long death , i saw one grab a jackdaw they fought for ages ,the jackdaw eventually flew off followed by the hawk , i know which one will survive

You always come back with the same reply on these threads and it's a pish reply.

Your clearing not understanding the meaning of the word 'cull'.

Too many sparrowhawks about for sure, I had to take my feeders down last year, they had become a feeding station for the sparrowhawks, I used to get goldies, bullies, long tailed tits all sorts, all I get now is jackdaws, cushies and magpies....few if any small finches.....shame. Lab is right, sparrowhawks and magpies need controlling, natural balance is out....

apparently if you put the pigeon in a larson trap where the spar left it then itll jump in the trap thinking it can finish its meal]

You Clearly Don't Understand The Meaning Off The Word Hypocrite . . If A Mink Got Into Your Game Birds & Decimated Them & You Say Shot That Mink & Where Prosecuted You'd Be On Here Moaning Like Fukc How Its A Non Native Species ect ect Just Like The Pheasant Is . . Yet A Native Species Off Ours Feeds On An Unnatural Food Source You Introduce & You Want To Be Able To Cull Them . . Everyone Knows Why Are Foxes So Abundant In Towns & Cities Because Man Has Created A Regular Food Source Just Like You Have . . So When You Say I Keep Coming Back With The Same Reply On This Subject Its Because Thats The Common Sense Here !! Edited March 18, 2015 by lanesra

I Understand What Your Saying Regarding Feeders But When You Take Your Feeders Down & The Garden Birds Disappear To Feed Else-Where Do You Think The Spa Stops Hunting / Killing Them . . No It Doesn't It Still Hunts Them Just Not In Your Garden !!

Wouldn't mind seeing a few sparrowhawks and kestrals around here (like we used too) and less buzzards (like we used too).
