Will my pigeons get attacked?

[cassandrapettersson]

I'm soon getting pigeons, they'll be able to fly freely as they want.
And my question is, would other pigeons pick on mine? We have well over 100 pigeons who sleep on the roof (street pigeons) of where we're putting the pigeons... That'd be like 5 pigeons vs 500!!

I'm not certain what the raptor situation is in Sweden, but would guess they are more likely to be attacked by hawks than by feral pigeons. If free flown it is also likely that they will eventually join the feral flock.

Never seen a bird get killed by any other predator birds here, though I guess it is a rare sightseeing... If they join the feral flock would that make them not come back?
