An Entire Pigeon Loft Got Killed

So this is what happened

[@granitispigeonloft]

Weasel 100% take protection because she will come back for sure

[@ibadalvi8467]

Yes u r right for my side my experience also saying this animal

[@ahmedhagag4689]

Yes it's weasel

[@chandon593]

Yup

[@cava1010]

Its a weasol, it loves drinking the blood of the animals more than eating them

[@whitecloudmountainminnowpr6353]

That sucks man. I would buy a little jack Russell or patterdale to live in that yard to guard the pigeon lofts.

[@philiprichardson3074]

So sorry about the losses. I suspect a rat or more likely one of weasel, mink or polecat caused the deaths. It accessed via the trap and killed them on the floor. In the dark the pigeons in fear try to fly away but end up landing on the floor becoming more victims in the process. I lost 20 birds some years ago in similar circumstances.

[@edmundverwey617]

"We do need MOST of these pigeons". What do you do with the rest? "We were going to get "RID" of the pigeons but the predator did it for us"???? What???

[@geeveekano]

I have my friend gave me 4 pigeons. I have left the trap door unsecured. Raccoon got in and got 3 bird. It was terrible. I was devastated . 6 months now got more pigeons. Learned my lesson.

[@trevorschwan4609]

I had a cat get in my loft and killed 5 birds before I caught it. It got in through bob wire trap and couldn’t get out. So he was caught red handed. I called animal control and they came and got it.

[@dennyfackler602]

I had a cat do this to my hen section several years ago. I caught it the next night.

[@yletdachnik]

hello from Russia .I'm sorry for your pigeons.,

[@easygoer410]

Racoon might be the culprit

[@colincrees553]

Do not lock Sputnik. Leave cage trap inside and stay out the way .

[@precisionrelaxation5080]

Sorry 😢 for your Loss, I remembered this Happened to me when I was a Young Kids, not a Good Feeling..!

[@IREmicfox]

That so sad, time to set a trap, I'm sure the predetor will be back, Top man with your video's, not many people would show that disaster in your loft

[@championpigeonloft5481]

Most likely a possum.

[@traolach9880]

Looks like the work of a Ferret or something of that family. It's a horrible sight to see.

[@ieuanwalker6330]

Cat had my recessive red about two week ago and the rest of the birds were traumatised and never returned. Unrelated tip ;) cats are seriously insatiably attracted to antifreeze, most mamals like the smell and taste.

[@chrisroberts9391]

2 years ago I found all 19 of my pigeons dead just like yours. 18 were in the loft and I found the 19th have eaten on the loft roof. I suspected a pine martin and this suspicion was confirmed, when it returned the next night and was caught on my camera trap.

[@eddieortiz4276]

It will be back so set up a few traps 🪤

[@scarylilstarassassin5492]

Sorry to see this, has to be a mink, they do surplus killing and the way they kill is by biting the back of the head, and mink are fearless so going into an area with people, weasels and such are shy, mink are not. So sorry once again

[@GuardianAngel..]

If anything happened to my #67 Grizzle I would personally fly down to Belgium with my hunting rifle and any small rodent I come across in a 10 mile radius (especially those weasels) is going to get it.

[@wrinkleranch1]

I am so sorry for your loss. I’m not sure what predators you have there but it will definitely be back. I would set traps and wait with a gun. Whatever it is needs to be killed. Live trapping and moving it is only going to make it someone else’s problem.

[@The71PigeonFancier]

Very sorry to see this, be careful it will be back.

[@dais-nas-xaumqaib9820]

My guess is Mink. They will kill for the thrill. This year my coops got hit with a pack of 5 and they wiped out 46 birds in one night. I caught all 5 a couple of nights later. Good luck with your birds.

[@BK-nj8dm]

Ik had precies hetzelfde meegemaakt, ik kom uit nederland. Bij mij heeft hij gewoon het gaas opengebroken en ik had er in totaal 16 duiven in zitten met elk koppel nog 2 jongen, hier zijn alle jongen meegenomen en van de ouders zijn er 2 meegenomen, de rest lag allemaal in het hok zonder kop die een meter verderop lag... We hadden een val naast het hok gezet in de hoop dat hij nog weer terug kwam (want al mijn duiven waren toch al dood) , en ja hoor, er zat een steenmarter in.

[@mariodelosreyes4271]

it was horrible. it happenned to me during my younger period. one big cat was able to enter my small loft and she killed all my pegions 7heads. cats don't eat them. they only kill them and removed their heads. i hope you can get rid of that monster and recover from that lost. god bless and stay safe and healthy always.

[@feniljudewin6594]

Set trap as early as possible......... May return if it knows its a good food source

[@brahimbarboza209]

A great loss, I hope things will go well after this catastrophe

[@albsej]

Yes mate, rats normally strike the pigeons and eat their heads. I had that experience before in my loft. You really have to take action immediately now that animal know already that he can strike your pigeons easily, that animal will definitely come back every night until he finish all your pigeons. Fix all the holes in your loft.

[@123Bjorn]

Weasel or stoat. It will be back

[@colincrees553]

Stoat .weasel, or mink mate . Get a cage trap put a dead bird in back of it . And remove all dead and alive ones . U will have it tonight

[@pod3531]

secure every open hole with wire netting and keep watch

[@arunprasadm82]

Hello Sorry for the loss I am sure it is a wild cat which get through a narrow gap and only its head pass through it can fold it's body to get through and my second openion it should be done by Human who got a access to that loft to destroy the unwanted birds as you have mentioned in your conversation

[@cleavonmclean8103]

Sorry for your loss

[@ArcUnit21]

It is definatly a a rat, same thing happened with me, make sure and look around that there arent holes in the wood that the rat came in through, RIP those birds

[@GuardianAngel..]

That ain’t no rat man if it was it would only have killed one for food, the animal that did this obviously enjoyed killing.

[@ArcUnit21]

@@GuardianAngel.. rats kill alot of them, a rat killed like 7 of mine in one day

[@GuardianAngel..]

@@ArcUnit21I know people who have birds where a significant amount of them got killed and eaten by rats but you see that was an ongoing problem the rats had their holes nearby and in the night they would come out and wreak havoc but how do yo explain a loft that never had anything like this happen for over 40 years then all of a sudden an entire loft of birds get decimated this is definitely the handiwork of either a weasel or mink.

[@ArcUnit21]

@@GuardianAngel.. well, that is true, ur point is good, btw u watch maney lofts?

[@GuardianAngel..]

@@ArcUnit21 yeah I watch his channel like Belgian he’s another pigeon fancier who is passionate about what he does and also has a good work ethic.

[@stephenfarrow368]

Deffo a fox mate,it will come back for its kill

[@AaBb-th2ud]

Why not put surveillance cameras? It's better to put surveillance cameras because the birds you own deserve to put cameras for them

[@anonymousprivate6814]

Poor birds, sorry for your loss.

[@rubyredloft707]

Hi this is Ruby Red loft I think that was a raccoon that got in your loft and be careful because they got a tendency to come back Good luck peace

[@lorenzobascoe3300]

Im sorry my friend 😔🙏🏽

[@birdman2527]

It must be some type of rodent for sure

[@brianwitton5061]

You need to redesign your lofts,to many gaps.

[@eddieortiz4276]

Sorry about this mess. I had this same thing happen and it was a raccoon 🦝 It killed over 60 birds but I caught him since he couldn’t find his way back out.

[@RFRP]

So sorry about this! 100% weasel, ferret, mink or the like. This same thing happened to me when I was a teenager. One night and 30+ birds dead, often with the heads ripped off. It was devastating. Glad that in your case it was at least birds that were not important. Get a dog!

[@scarylilstarassassin5492]

Defo a mink mate, a lot of people dont realise how tiny weasel are, 4-10 centimetres, it wouldnt have the strength to pull the bird through the wire until is head came off, weasel dont kill surplus as much as mink, they will go into a coop, loft, cages, etc and kill everything, its horrible to see 😞

[@AleshaaRees]

i cant believe you said Birds taht were NOT important. they were animals with a life how can u say that??

[@henryf.ky.3415]

It’s a year now, hopefully you took care of business. Racing pigeons are hard workers. They need protection as you now. Good luck.

[@GuardianAngel..]

I’m sorry for your loss man, what kind of evil animal could be capable of doing something like this it wasn’t even hungry it killed all those birds purely for sport.

[@KC-qk1xr]

Evil animal??! It's called nature my friend and is totally natural 🤷‍♂️

[@kevinnorton7759]

That looks like the work of a 2 legged predator, made to look like an animal. Was the door unlocked? Ps. I'm just going on how the bodies are situated.

[@jeromesoto2170]

Maybe a possum

[@silvsiri3478]

Hi from Australia, very sad this happened to you

[@andrewsmith1325]

Defo weasels you need to secure your lofts asap it will be back that's for sure

[@ilovecotw8743]

Lost one of mine 2 days ago to a stoat I live in the UK for those who are wondering

[@truepatriot7983]

I am so sorry my friend to see your dead birds it’s very Sad I am pigeons Lover too From America 🇺🇸 Georgia

[@feniljudewin6594]

May b change to small net size...... Helps in ventilation tooo

[@robdrewitt6698]

Hi sorry to hear about your birds. Could it be a mink . Or loos ferret??

[@habanahemingwaycafe2241]

Definitely a Possum family did that , it happen to me few years ago in Virginia , it killed about 23 of my best pigeons, I put a cage trap and it was a family of 5 Possum’s

[@tiles4me]

The same thing happened to me… A old man told me to lay out some bake powder, which I did and the next morning I had foot prints of a big Bobcats paw prints … I had no problems for about 1 1/2 years until this happened… whatever it is will be back , because it knows free food is there … I never did anything about it … so beware!!! Ok … It’s sad … My son and I where sick about this happening …. Bob

[@krasendrivinglessons]

This is ferret kill all so you need to put mesh properly

[@iansmith3464]

Hi, did you catch the killer in the end? I’m thinking, mink, polecat ,pine marten type of animal. Set a trail camera then you’ll know what you got to deal with.👍

[@Muhammad786]

Were you going to cull those birds if yes then its okay but still thats a right mess.Set the trap right away

[@alfredodel-brocco8562]

A Ferret. Have had this happen to me before.

[@dougmerc4060]

Sorry for you loss. Start setting up a trap. Damn!

[@arcee33]

Wow, that is a shame. I have had a racoon get in my loft 2 different times but I think in your case is a weasel.

[@AatifKhan-pu4iu]

Really feeling sorry for u dear. For a pigeon fancier if any one of the bird from loft passes it makes dishearted. And vanishing of the whole loft is such a disastrous event. Such a heart breaking incident.😐

[@j-man7775]

Hi man, it's bad. Skunks and mongooses only eat the heads. They come back every night and can be trapped easily. Catch it and kill it asap, once they start, they will come back Every day and clear out all your lofts. I had the same thing. Jacques from South Africa. Like your videos.

[@danielpott8443]

leave a live trap with a head in it will be back in a couple days

[@prinsharrienadirah2293]

O wat verschrikkelijk! Veel geluk met de loft wezel proef te maken! Ik voel met jullie enorm mee! Geluk!

[@BTMoto]

Sorry to see your loss buddy, im just wondering do you fly natural or darkness Youngbirds?

[@BelgianRacingPigeons]

natural

[@BTMoto]

@@BelgianRacingPigeons and how do you find your yb towards the end of the season? Hard to race for national races or longer races?

[@BelgianRacingPigeons]

@@BTMoto we only race sprints

[@georgezarglis5726]

Weasel I would guess. Had it happen to me, but in the main loft

[@georgezarglis5726]

Might have to set a trap, you have the bait. Devastating at best.

[@monti409]

Purchase trail Cameras that take photos of movement during the night soon you should find the culprit. Then set the trap.

[@gerardotorres8327]

Hey buddy don’t feel bad it happened to me the day before Thanksgiving a raccoon went inside my pigeon coop and killed 10 of my birds big mistake left the door open for the pigeons come in and out and I got the surprise of my life Say no more it’s a raccoon buy a raccoon trap to trap them they had a big Thanksgiving dinner but that’s not gonna happen no more believe me I got something for them my pigeon coop is in the backyard and raccoons be in backyards just don’t leave no doors open anymore they come out at night they like rats but bigger if you like my comment let me know thank you👍

[@apples90able]

It was a chuppa Cabra.

[@miguelsolla4116]

I has that situation last year until foundout that was a big rat taking one or two at night

[@kevinscrivener5548]

Whatever it was it will be back need to set a trap

[@abulbashar6644]

I think it was a Mongoose. And it's will become again.

[@brucecullum398]

My first guess would be a weasel . put some motion lights out there might help and wire the vent holes so you still have ventalation

[@nailbendert4569]

I am so sorry. I noticed I have a rat that dug inti my hen loft. They are hard to get.

[@pakistanihighflyerpigeons]

Sorry for the loss of innocent lives but You need to take some serious measures bro. Those lil holes ain't good!

[@stephenbru]

This never should have happened and you have to blame yourself! ..Their is no reason why any loft should be unsafe or exposed for this to happen...I feel badly for you but you should have known better!...Pigeons have to always feel safe and secure in their own loft ...You know better !!....

[@StratosLoft]

This never happened before for many years so no one was expecting it . Here in the states racoons will eat through wood to get to the pigeons check out Hams loft .

[@pawewolder7161]

I ' m so sorry .

[@lilflappy9038]

Even the younglings! Who would do these such things

[@kurunosujitsu3163]

I think "marter" t Do that bro...it also happens to my loft

[@abcloft302]

Looking at ur loft Terrain and the entrance thru them bars head of the pigeon. My suspect is a 🐀 Rat 🐀

[@pigeonloft5900]

So sad,sir.

[@JackMontana69]

Might be sized of racoon or opussom I think. Check the sidings as well might have loose a part of it that those predators entered.

[@pigeonsrus1672]

this is a huge loss please accept my sincere condolences

[@tm.tanojkumar545]

It must be mongoose cuz they hunt down the birds but they wont eat

[@coleridgelofts6804]

Hi my friend that looks like rat attack they only go for the crop.

[@CoryKlim]

If a fox gets into your pin they will kill every bird even if they can't eat them. Happened to me as well unfortunately.

[@blitzkreegy4232]

It’s a mink.

[@Lewingsloft]

Oh man, very sad 😢

[@abetntwarrios8882]

Wow that's messed up it looks like it was a raccoon so you better protect that Coupe because next time he's coming for you all the pigeons and it's really going to hurt you this time because you don't really care that you kill these pigeons but he will kill the other ones that you really want next time

[@adrianforrester325]

Could be a rat or a stoat maybe even a weasel ,when the start to kill they just go into a killing frenzy and kill more than they can eat i would get fenn traps or similar and start trapping get some live catch traps and bail them with the dead pigeons nip it in the bud asap

[@MsHishyar]

Off that is sad, sorry for your lost

[@pigeon1959]

Sorry to hear

[@TroyArmstrong]

Oh man, this is awful to find, walking into a bloody loft, sorry for your lose I don't know if you have any racoons in Belgium? we have them here in Canada and they are menace find out from other farmers in the area if there are minks ,martens, ferrets, fishers or weasels also if any had the same issue with chickens a fox or wild cat would do that as well

[@Drifter077]

Put hard mesh on all holes including ventilation too, or just cover them..

[@vincentatkinson67]

My father had very similar attacks over the years, more often than not, it was a domestic cat.

[@nikkoshay5403]

Lies

[@davidhuynh721]

I think it should be Raccoons ！ they only ate the head and blood . we got some chickens got kill just like that. So sorry to see that happened and sorry for your loss.

[@abdulazizkazee6976]

Could be a cat too, I caught a cat in my loft 1 night, 2 pigeons dead. I shot the cat.

[@kevinrobertson5913]

Cat did it

[@vwayagour]

So sorry about this 🕊

[@mohammedjamil8423]

Ad say its a mink , problem needs sorting or it will kill everything now

[@precisionrelaxation5080]

Yes 👍🏼 Everything Must Be Secured ..!

[@brianwitton5061]

Same thing happened to me when I was a kid,a cat got in and killed every pigeon .i left the birds there because I wanted it to come back,it did come the next day and I killed it with a garden fork.
