Hey, I've recently been looking into pigeons.
The thing is, I have tons of hawks all around my house. They are quite literally nesting in a tree over my yard. The crows keep them SOMEWHAT under control from just taking over, but I don't know how safe it'd be to let my birds free fly. I heard that trained homers can evade hawks?
If necessary, I do have a completely enclosed walk-in run for the chickens. Would that be enough to make them happy? I just don't know if they need to free fly or they'd be happy with a run.
Local Craigslist has many, many pigeons for sale as well as many different breeds, so I do have quite a selection. Are there any particular breeds recommended for my situation?
Thanks!
