Usually it starts in June but they've arrived a bit early this spring and have taken me by surprise.
I've raised pigeons off and on for the last 46 years, have had this coop going for the last 17 years- same strain of Birmingham Rollers. The other evening I forgot to lock up the flight window and the coons pulled a raid. 9 dead from a small flock of 14. Bastards ate one bird down to the wings, one down to the breast and ate the heads off of the remaining victims.
Score so far....
Them- 9
Me- 2 coons, 2 possum
