I remember shooting fire 🔥 work rockets to scare the hawks away from my coop

I really enjoy looking all the birds flying arround the loft. Thanks for tour time Kurt 👏👏👏

Ohhhh mate need to get these birds flying more they are sitting ducks. You should be able to get them to the point where the pigeons fly above and around those hawks. But the birds are very unfit and fat. Keep it up!

aha yeah the ybs little silly and the rest really need work but we will get there over the next few months!

Get rid of those mongrels ASAP! See them working together the buggers. Good job on getting over to your bird fast mate. Once your birds get experienced and hawk aware those big hawks will just be good exercise for your birds.

yeah those big hawks wont have any chance getting the birds once they are fit on the wing, they are to slow as you seen. just nabbing the stupid ones on the ground.

1 thing u should never do is if u let the young birds out u must stay with them so u can keep an eye on them, tbh u don’t serve them if u can’t keep an eye on them 🤦‍♂️

I had a very intense Hawk problem. I had one really obsessed talk. the others were all so pretty obsessed but one was really. Also had a couple Falcons coming by. I had to fully net my exercise area ie my flight cage. It was an open area before the hawk started making multiple strikes everyday. I lost too many birds. So now I just pop the birds in the box and take them out to fly before I feed them in the morning. The racing pigeons fly back and make it into the loft before I even get home the high Flyers will take a more elevated route and spend more time flying out before they'll drop back into the loft. Once the birds are all back in then I close up the flight area like the exercise area. then I let all the lofts out together in the netted protected area. this way the birds get to relax and socialize outside of the lofts without dying. And then I get more into the habit of putting them in the crates and flying them. and they get in the habit of getting into the boxes and then understanding that they're going to be flying after that so they're more willing to jump in. after a few times into the crates or whatever you're using each they'll get it they'll understand it's time to fly. Having them understand that and cooperate is really satisfying. Kind of what it's all about. Admittedly I enjoyed a year of letting my birds fly all around my loft and all around my yard and stuff. But it attracted a whole ecosystem of raptors. Everything from Eagles to owls to Ravens even just coming by on a regular flight path to see if there's something they can snack on. Now if I just get them ready and fly them before 11:00 a.m. when the wind comes up, I'm good to go for a daily fly. can't sit around waiting for the day to progress to see if it's going to be windy later, you know it's going to be windy later.

Same here , I’ve enjoyed letting my pigeons out for two years almost , loft open all day long , closed at night , but in September of last year it attracted a very cunning hawk that caught my birds inside of the coop , prior to this hawk my back yard was heaven for birds and bees so to speak

I agree, it will be better once the birds get a bit smarter and stronger at flying. Especially if you can get them to a point where they're all flying together and either flying or in the loft. I'm pretty much in the same boat.

at the moment the birds are easy meat but once they starting flying more often they become one of the harder targets for the hawks and hopefully they'll leave them alone

The pigeons will always be Hawk prey my friend.

Finally, they're out again after all this time. Don't worry about the hawk that much, because if it grabs some, those would be not so good flyers anyway. It is a natural and very good initial selection imho. Pigeonmania has many videos with a flock that he flies only during winter, when hawks and falcons attack. I learned a lot from his experience and his birds.

Quick tip keep the main door open so the pigeons on the ground will see them eating and they will come join them.

Keep one of the red ones or little Shock for stock, they are beautiful pigeons and good quality.

U can buy 4-5 more counterfeit scare owls..but place dem far way from your bird coop .just a few distance to distract the hawks

SOMEONE scaring them, KURT???

Trying to figure why you don't let them go out the trap? That's the way I do it so they don't get confused about how to go in and out. I just leave the trap bars up and they can come and go until I want to trap them in.

It's about time ya started Keeping a few small Rockets to hand and fire one up in hawks direction every time they come round.. they will soon learn to stay clear

Pigeons are smart bird they will get used to it and won't be caught again

U saved that pigeon!!!! Wooooo!!!

Maney, what the hell, those are not hawks, their huge!

I rescue wild feral pigeons and I’ve must have raised and released 1000’s of them last 12 years , I have kept few birds as they grew close to my heart , I had built a coop in the yard , I had a total of 12 pigeons , I used to fly them around for the first two years of my coop being built , till last year September when a hawk found my yard , I’ve lost 3 birds since September , usually if I’m in the house and not In the yard with my birds , they have been real good outflying a hawk but we have these cunning Cooper’s hawks that caught them inside of my coop , the entrance for my pigeons was wide enough for him to get in, all that changed now as I had my birds closed for weeks in hopes that hawks may move on to another area . I hate keeping my birds closed.

Can you please share what you do to nurse back a pigeon that was injured by a hawk?

TEAM MANEY LOFTS

Maney you definitely have to start producing more content like this, this video had me at the the edge of my seat I tell ya.

If you get more may contact some falconers for some help and come and take a hawk off the farm and relocate it still see that Hawk at its new perch on my way to work everyday and me I don't have a hawk problem anymore thank God. My youngs were easy pray but the more experienced birds were just no match for him. He even started to recognize the young birds and just go after them and sit in a tree when the more experienced birds were flying. It was my enemy for a good 2 years

Hang in there keep working on them pigeons you will get there

You need to let just one side of the bob wire open and let the pigeons to go out alone if they feel confident they will go alone outside .

Total pigeons before letting them out today, count? How many returned & how many missing, pigeon year/ number record important to tally. As hawks, kites or falcons live on your property too as predators

Good work jnb

Birds looks comfortable but for now Maney please forget about that White Pipe that you used in the pass.

Idk your laws there but can you get your falconry license and capture the hawk to relocate it or fly yourself? What I had to do in my country to keep a hawk away from my farm animals (pigeons, cats, rabbits, ducks, chickens, doves, budgies, and guinea pigs.)

Hi mate, really frustrating for you, those two Hawks don't look as though they are going anywhere soon and if I was to guess they have been there for some time, not just waiting for the birds as they have not been out for some time. Must be something legal you can do to get rid of them... waiting to see who is missing or not. Agree with the other guys Shocks offspring are something special. I noticed the black hen was missing, may be just flying as she doesnt want to stop normally but look out for her mate. Another special one she is..

I think you should enlarge the doors a little bit. It’s too many pigeons for two small doors and the bigger the doors the faster they get in.

👏👏👏👏😍

Ok 👍

That's why it is not good for your birds to stay in to he ground longer since they are racing pigeon they must train them to fly and trap then quickly

Keep one of the red one to breed so be careful of the hawk take them

you need to attract the crows, ..they get rid of the hawks..

Fireworks rockets before you let your birds out as soon as you see them fire at them they will soon get the message

Starting pistol sounds like a good idea to scare to hawks. Hope that is legal there.

Hi my dear friend 😍

Young ones are a nightmare,I never looose all of them at once.couple at a time is the best way.if all the old ones had struck then you would have been in real trouble.

Those kind of hawks didnt have a chance to catch racing pigeon,if it catch any bird those birds are not good,,only falcons are danger to pigeons..but mature and experienced birds always escape except in cases when pigeon is tired or its feathers are not in good condition

Is there a gift giveaway on this KZread channel

Let them fly from the top of loft they will learn to land there when they come back, otherwise they will land anywhere on ground and room around.

Really dont understand why you still keeping the split bars in your flyer loft,the yb's are just gonna learn to be a lazy flyer just like em

Keeping them locked up and starting those youngs that late in the age is not doing them any good. Fat birds/ birds on the ground are dinner bells. Gotta start them early in the air and keep them going.

Its Never a good idea to let young birds out for the first time with birds that have been out before. They make them fly to quick and they get lost . you always ask for comments and advice and I see people giving you great advice in the comment section and you just egnore it. your lucky to have people giving you advise mate you should listen to what they say. Also buy a boomerang to throw at the hawks ya don't have to hit them just get it close enough to scear them.
