The RSPB: Birds of prey

hi have signed it.

birds of prey need to be managed more, the common garden birds eating at the bird lovers table, is the falcons dinner table, all your doing is gathering birds for the kill.

And that is a problem why ? Do you have any testable evidence that raptors are impacting on prey species numbers ? Or evidence that raptor numbers would not fall in direct response to a fall in prey species numbers allowing prey species numbers to climb again ?

You wouldn't happen to belong to the organisation of rogues the "Songbird Survival Trust" would you?

Birds of prey DO NOT need managing.

Birds of prey ONLY take what they need to eat, they do not kill indiscriminately. If there is an easy target, then they will go for that. If you are foolish enough to site your bird table where it makes visiting birds an easy target, then blame yourself NOT the birds of prey!

Remember, if there was no predation, we would be absolutely overrun by songbirds and other prey species. Try looking up the Scottish vole plagues.
