I fly out of the north west,every time I let my birds out they get hit by bops,I have tried all the tricks,fly early,fly late,lock down for wks.its so bad I am thinking of calling my loft predator ally loft,seems like the bops do not migrate.is there any place where the bpos are not slaying our birds an is there any thing we can do to slow the buggers down

Become a legal/licensed/certified falconer, trap and relocate the birds legally. And you to can be hawk/falcon free.

yea, its bad here... all with in 3 blocks their is a river with all the birds & stuff that bop's like to snack on, and a large metro parking lot that must have aprox 100 commies.. More munchies..
I kid you not.. Every time I took up I see a red-tail, or cooper.
being that my guys are on lock-down..
I built a removable sun/fly pin for the kit box..
I call it.. The COOP-A-NATOR

mcroller,
My loft name is Rimfire Roller Loft but I am considering just hanging out a sign that says "Accipiter Feeding Station"
Butch, you are one lucky S.O.B.
