Very Angry

[lady-hunter07 15]

Well listen to this!

 

Got a phone call from my dad and mum back home in Northern Ireland last week. Was sitting here talking away to my mum "oh so have you been watching eastenders lately" the normal shit we talk about but anyway so mum says "ok love your dad wants to talk to you about birds" so my dad comes on, oh listen to this!!

 

My dad had took my female harris hawk out last sunday, he had been in the car flying her out the car with his friend and my nephew, so there driving along and my dad sees a crow to the left off him and the bird so getting up close and off she went but the crow flys off she starts to follow so my dad see her and follows on two feilds then all off a sudden she swopes down into this pen full off geese she lands on the bank off one so my dads a distance away but can see her so he is slowing but surley getting closer and closer when he sees this man opening the pen with a long pole he runs up to the bird and starts hitting her around the back the next thing my dads behind the man and breezer is out cold on her back on the ground my dad starts screaming and shouting at him holding back his fists all my dad wanted to do was get the bird and get her home and safe look over her to make sure everything thing was ok. He got her home and didnt fly her for a good few days. my dad rang a few days after to let me know that she was ok.

 

Now when my dad told me this i was so angry one for not being there to make sure she was ok two to give the fella a peice off my mind. I couldnt believe it when i got off the phone, hearing something like that, it gets to you,you bond with birds they let you into there lifes and you let them into yours its a trust thing and you both get a bond with each other, breeezer is such a kind a gentle bird, and to hear that some man was hitting her with a pole so hard to knock her out it made me SO angry, ok i can see it from the fella's point off few some wild bird flying in grapping his, but come on take about going over the flipping top!!

 

Sorry i should of added up top, i moved over to england while my bird was in moult so i left her in Northern ireland until she was finished so my dad is flying her for me, until i get over after x-mas to hopefully get her over here in england.

Steady on mate. Harsh as it sounds for the bird it sounds like a genuine and understandable mistake. Hope Breezer recovers quickly

My dad was going mad about it, altho all he wanted to do was make sure the bird was ok. he did say to the man before he left, he would see his face again.

be a trained one or a wild one its still an offence to kill or injure any bird of prey! give the fella a boot, hope bird is ok,

does the farmer not have the right to protect his livestock?

[Albidus 0]

I reckon he does.

The thing is there could well be a living off the land type forum somewhere else with some bloke saying he was just tending to his geese when a huge b.o.p swooped down and attacked them so he attacked it etc etc.

If i was in his shoes i would have done exactly the same to be totally honest, but it doesnt make you feel any better! Glad she is ok now, but it must have been quite an experience for her.

Hope there was no permanent harm done.

had it of been a lurcher attacking a sheep would people be so laid back about it .I aint sayin the man was right to hit the bird but he was protecting his livestock .I really do hope no serious damage is done to your bird

Im not sure about the laws regarding birds of prey but dogs with livestock is a totally different story.
