Sparrow Hawk attacks

Hello Gary,
They are fantastic to watch hunting but not when our birds are on the menu, you would think the male and female are 2 different species the male being much smaller and a different colour.
i get them now and again but strangely only females ive never seen a male sparrow hawk at my aviaries.they normally give up after a few days when they know they cannot get to the birds, not a lot of help i know as you can loose birds just through panic,they dont like getting tangled up in loose plastic pea netting, its possibly a young 2018 male struggling to catch food if he dont learn very soon he wont last long.

Hello Chris, Yes they can be, Softbills tend to hide up, where seed eaters panic and try to fly away hence being caught on the wire.
