    Hawks, racoons and numerous predators will go right through netting and chicken wire..hardware cloth is the best for protection on your coops!
    I would have thought your coop was safe. I'm like you I would have never imagined a hawk being able to get a bird! So sorry MC lost a pigeon!

      So sorry MaryCarl lost one of her birds. I love seeing the hawks here in Kansas but not at my bird feeders. There is one road I travel about 30 miles from my house. I count the hawks along the way. There will be 25 to 30 hawks. It's all pasture land love to see them. Maybe you could put hardware cloth to cover the flight door. That way the birds can still look out. They are so beautiful.

      Yes. So sad for Mary Carl. Unfortunately they say chicken wire mesh is only good at keeping chickens in but not predators out. Hardware cloth is becoming the standard for coop building. If you go to ¼", even keep snakes out.
      I live in Wisconsin. I've seen hawk dive into shrub to pick off small song birds like chickadees and sparrows. Suburban "rural" areas you see all sorts of wild life interaction. We even have coyotes out here on the Northern side of Milwaukee County

    • @noelle1225
      @noelle1225 Рік тому

      You’re right. Hardware cloth is the way to go for any type of outdoor bird enclosure or run. It should also be attached to the wood with screws and washers to prevent other predators like raccoons.

    Brooke, if you have more of the what you put round the pigeon purple palace, put it on the small door where the hawk got that pigeon. I am sorry that two of MaryCarl’s pigeons were lost. That way, the pigeons will still be able to look out of their spot.

    I’m with you Brooke! I know birds of prey have to eat but they can go elsewhere in my book. I live in town and have two chickens and one outside cat. The cat watched after the chickens when they are out in the yard which is every day it’s not raining. If I’m at the store,which is only 2 miles from my house and see a hawk, I call my husband to tell him to be on the lookout! So sorry for the loss of MC’s bird….at least the problem was caught and fixed. Good job Mama!🥰🕊️

    Brooke, would putting a piece of that heavy hardware cloth over that area rather than the piece of wood be an option? They'd be able to see out their little window then. Just thinking out loud.😊 I'm so sorry the pigeon did not survive.🙁

  • @laurasimpson7211
    @laurasimpson7211 Рік тому +11

    Instead of a board to block their view, get the wire netting like you have on the outside of the Aviary! You would just need a small piece and you can remove it when you need to! That way they can still look out, but nothing can reach them!

    Good morning Brooke and thank you for your wonderful smile that brightens our day. Sorry to hear about the circle of life incidents, thank God and your Family’s Guardianship that MaryCarl is able to deal with loss. I’m thinking why not place some of the heavy steel mesh over the pigeons gate door and move the ledge they like sitting on a little further back. That way they would remain safe and still enjoy the advantages of their perch view are in front of the swinging door. DeDe sure loves being a Hipster and your bond with her is so awesome. 😀👍🕊️👍🕊️👍🕊️

    It’s so hard to keep everyone safe but Nature has a way of providing. Watch the catch on that door, they’ll unlock that too if it’s a hook. I’d double the wire on top of the Aviary or put something on top, maybe moving things or another layer of screen.
    I’m sorry Marycarl, I use to breed birds myself( parrots) and sometimes we lose them, but, ultimately it is not our choice no matter how hard we try. You’ve done a wonderful job being a Caretaker, just keep going as you have others that need you.

I miss my little Juni so much. I love watch DiDi as it brings back such fond memories.

    1) If the pigeons like looking out. Could consider a sheet of acrylic or perspex.
    2) would it be practical to allow them access to one of the outside avories giving them a little more space to roam during the winter when they are not allowed to fly out side asumming that not interfere to much with birds that are normally in those areas.

    We keep green shade cloth over our koi pond, the herons and hawks can't see thru it. You may try that on the new area. Those triangle shade cloths work good too. Keeps my chickens safer. Good luck, so sorry for Mary Carl's losses.

    I had a hawk in the chicken coop waiting for the birds to come in he was setting on the roost.
