I'm fed up!! This morning a Sparrow-hawk has taken 2 of our collared doves.. It's carnage out there, with feathers everywhere!!
Oh I know they're wild birds (the doves) but they are regular visitors to our garden and as close to tame as they can be and they nest and raise their young in our trees, we know them individually...
We've already protected our
little birds with caged feeders...so the SH's can't get to them but the Doves and pigeons feed on the ground, and the Sparrowhawks even fly right into the trees and snatch them off the nest!!
I know all the argument about it being ''nature'' and the SH's have a right to live too...... I don't care, I'm sick and tired of their murdering attacks and eating the birds alive. It really upsets me!!
I want to shoot them..but the bleeding heart do gooders , would be up in arms...( unintended pun)
