 Re: garden visitors
Hi Everyone Thank you for the info on SH. As a newbie to this site I have found all the info very helpful. I will get to like the SH and other birds of prey - it was just my first sight of an actual kill. I agree that cats are by far the biggest killer of birds. I have cats and for this reason mine are totally indoor. They like to lay on the windowsill and admire the birds in the garden. That way everyone is happy!! Would a SH attack a human? or have I watched one too many films - as when it opened up its wings to shield the prey from me I wondered if I ventured too close do you think it would have attacked me? Does anyone know when SH have their young? If they have young will their young stay around here or do they get chased off by the parents to a different area? Sorry if I sound abit ''geeky'' it is just up until now birds of prey have just been pictures in a book so it would be good to have an idea from people that know them. |
