i have lots of hawks but dont seem to be on a regular path,, i have had a couple in the tree behind the coop, waiting for dinner, also i saw an eagle as well.. the eagle has not been back, and the hawks, well they haven't been back either.....

Lots of resident BOPs, no trouble to rollers n tumblers. Lost best n fav Chinese owl hen to BOP or one of gfs cats.
anyone considering parlor rollers, coop tumblers, oriental rollers, or flying flights?
i love my rollers and have no trouble with these, but over all love how my oriental roller mix, and flying flight mixes, terrorize the bops.
my parlors are not the best rolling only maybe several feet, were friend has competition ones that roll one hundred something or two hundred something feet. he keeps them cause cannot fly rollers anymore cause of bops and neighbors.

Pigeons and chickens together - I like it (and so do they I think) although pigeons get the rough end of the deal

@AZbirddad,
Try American pigeons and supplies for sale group on fb, it'll get you best money n homes for your birds. Loved look of my ports but they are like starved horses (literally ate till they couldn't move good n threw up) even though morbidly obese n made such mess n never flew (they literally smashed at cage wanting feed ever time I walked by and chased after around yard, and were hawk magnets,so I rehome them. They've been great to keep pair or few in cage inside as pets if I didn't already have the Birmingham rollers.
