Winter Vlog - Hawks Check-In

A day with my pigeons here by the mountains in winter. Birds of prey rarely let me and my pigeons enjoy a free flying day without their attacks. I prefer the falcons with their fair chases up in the sky, the hawks are really disturbing with their repeated attacks right down at the loft, even when the pigeons are inside, bringing a lot of stress for the birds.

Lewis Burns, I have been raising pigeons for 60 years and these videos are amazing my favorite, thanks

[@Pigeonmaniacom]

Wow. Glad to know somebody with such experience in the pigeon hobby is watching. Thank you.

I know that feeling when you see your pigeons flying back after a hawk chase. Good flight 👍

[@Pigeonmaniacom]

Greetings from the Philippines..... HAPPY FLYING..

[@StratosLoft]

Nice job getting them back 👍 I keep my birds locked up till March too many hawks here mostly cooper hawks they hide in the trees they can’t catch them in the air only ambush them .

[@Pigeonmaniacom]

Yes, I hate them hiding in the trees and attacking when the pigeons try to get to the loft. And not once but several times in a row, this is really annoying. 2 days ago they kept attacking about 15 times, the pigeons had to fly fast 1,5 hours in cold wind, really hard day for them. I wish the falcons get back because they were away for a few days, hawks usually go away because the falcon kicks their ***. Now it snows for a week so I will give them a break to recover.

[@thao078]

Would love to see drone footages! Great views from there! You can probably scare the hawks with it too!

[@Pigeonmaniacom]

Yup, I've been thinking about it, but I need to stretch the budget a bit. The problem is I saw several videos with falcons attacking drones and wouldn't be happy to see them messing with my brand new device, lol.

Without any raptors it would be really boring and all the weakest birds would survive to pass on their genes which would be a disaster for the prey species. But when the raptors are too many and too harsh, no more fun.

[@alanjpoole7274]

Do you have any solutions to your hawk problems?

[@Pigeonmaniacom]

I don't have solutions. I am lucky enough that they do not attack often during summer when I have the young birds learning to fly. Now in winter I would prefer the falcon to get a bird weekly than 50 missed hawk attacks - because they miss most of the time but they ruin the day with their countless attacks especially at the loft. This video only shows two, but 2 days ago I had about 15 hawk attacks, both up in the sky like falcons and also down at the loft when the pigeons were getting ready to come home.

[@nelsontinega2567]

I love this video a lot. Am from Kenya but goshawks are the real problem here compared to falcons which rarely attack my birds. Goshawks rarely miss a catch and are very active in the mornings and evenings hence cant risk allowing my pigeons out during these times. I think this is because of the many trees where these hawks hide before ambushing the birds. They sometimes chase my birds until they are lost
