sorry to hear about the hawk atack, i know how that one ca go with chicens though... but i'm planning on geting my falconry license sometime in the future (once i own my own place) but i'm going falcons for duck hunting or red tailed for rabbits.
pigeons i've had as pets before(cats got the parents in the shed it was sad) so we raised them... i could never hunt or feed them i've already had a conection with them.
the birds you havelook absolutly stunning make me wish i still lived in woodville.
