do they gat a lot where you`re at? If they`re not real bad I`d adjust your flying time so the BOP dont get on your schedule, and keep flying. But thats just me.

Yup BOP stand for Birds Of Prey.
I think the falcon is the deadliest of them all...

Im curious why no one has created a crap kit yet, I mean you guys always lose your best birds to the BOP, But doesnt anyone have rollers that they need or want to cull, Well if theres people that dont have the heart to do just make a kit around these unwanted birds, Fly your good kits and then when you see the BOP release the unwanted kit as feeders and save the good birds, Just a suggestion,

Hey, Tony -- I've heard of the BOP coming back for 2nds and 3rds, so I'm not sure that would work.

Hey Tony the thing about the BOP's is that if you feed them than they have a constant food source so there is a big chance they will never go away, so you end up having them all year around...

I truly understand what saying, But feeding a falcon to save the kit, and then locking them down wouldnt make it a constant thing, BOP are predators anything for them is easy prey when you look at it, Its not like feeding the sparrows in your back yard and having them stay around. Maybe im wrong.
Laura, If the falcons around your area are coming around for a second plate, Those are some starving BOP lol

If you fly a shit kit all you are doing is inviting the BOP for lunch or dinner.He will always be their.It doesnt matter what time he is there.Yesterday I flew a kit of 12 they disapeared.then they came back one at a time.I lost 3 or were killed and one came back with battle wounds.I looked in the air before i let them out but the bops are in the clouds flying.

and besides, they dont want your "shit" birds. They want your best spinners. That one that balls up for you every 45 seconds,35 feet deep, and makes your whole kit look that much better. If they are not doing that the hawk does not want them. Seriously

Speaking of prey, I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed I went out to the loft and instead of pigeons, this is what was left:
Har har!
