I had eight young birds up and they were flying well. Then all of a sudden they scattered, some went high some went low. I figured they saw a hawk. I looked up high and then I saw it, diving after my roller, It had to have been a parrigren Falcon. It was moving like a rocket, had to have been going over 100 MPH. My roller zig-zaged at just the rite moment. Then the roller started going high, thats when I could see it was a falcon. when it had to go up it wasn't so fast and the rollers got away. BOPS I hate them. But what an air show it was. In about an hour all rollers returned safe but tired.

Whenever I see a bop after a bird it's like a scene out of "Top Gun", and you know that bird is flying for it's life and I cant breath until they get away. I love to see a frustrated bop leave hungry. I saw a bird fly a bop into a building in San Jose, hawk missed couldnt slow down hit the side of a building.

If the peri is atacking low enough and close enough to where you are standing,try blowing a referees whistle as loud as you can just as he is about to hit.It throws them off more often than not.

trust me these hawk or falcons would attack any where any time...why I say this is because...my roller was right on on the trap door ready to go in...so then I went to next to the trap and tried to push it in...my grandma called me from behind then I looked back and in my mind I was like "that's not one of my pigeon flying straight at us." then it flew so quick that by the time I lift up my hand to hit it...its passed right under my arm already and I barely touch the tail...luckily my roller took off right then and the ambush was unsuccessful. It came back after a while and now trapped right in when land on board. thats my story...
