- Fastest animal on the planet VS. humble pigeon.
Mature falcon VS. young pigeon (4 months old).
After the falcon pulls feathers from its wing, the pigeon still manages to escape in a last moment move with the remaining wing.

That pigeon was super exceptionally fast and agile.cameraman job well done.A beautiful video
The aerial acrobatics are ABSURD! What amazing creatures!
1st Class filming, that pigeon deserves a medal 🏅 he managed to out fly the Tiercel Peregrine which wasn't messing around.
As fast as Falcon was diving, that damn pigeon also was diving so fast, incredible how falcon knows that this bird have damaged wing and goes after this one. they both fast but pigeons maneuver very good, awesome video, keep the videos coming
Hats off to this bird's spirit, she didn't give up the fight till the last. Hope she recovers soon 💓
She was a bit lucky too, I found her the next day under a pile of fire wood on the other side of the garden. Really fortunate a cat or other night predator didn't get her.
@@Pigeonmaniacom wow .. 👍
👍👍👍
@@Pigeonmaniacom Absolutely wow👌
Thank you for the video!😍🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊💪💪💪💪🦅🤝🤝🤝🙋♂
This is the reason i love pigeons alot especially racing ones....for me pigeons are the ultimate challenge for the falcon....love the acrobatics
Thank you for the video! I currently have a loft of 45 racing pigeons and your knowledge has been a big help for me to reduce losses and fly my birds with confidence just by understanding the techniques used by different raptors.
Edit: It is because of you that I have this knowledge, you are the #1 source for this information!
Thank you, Mike. Glad to know that, always nice to know it is worth filming and sharing.
Super ! Ma bucur mult ca a scapat! Ar fi bine sa nu mai iasa afara pana nu isi reface penajul.
Sigur ca nu mai iese afara, nici nu ar avea cum, abia se urca pe prima odihnitoare de jos. Este in concediu medical pana in primavara la etape dar si-a pierdut sansa de a face parte din matca libera.
I cried looking at this video, because is precious, and what winning the battle for your life is beautiful. It was like David and Goliath.
Another fabulous action video and with a happy ending. Thank you!
Thank you, Phill.
Good for you, little pigeon!
You maybe young but you are experienced!
Level up!!
In one word it's amazing !
This has to be one of the better videos you have filmed! The birds were relatively close and the action was incredible, you have even managed to take a nice zoom on the falcon, and it was adult peregrine female. They are much more efficient than the immature birds, your pigeon was extremely lucky!
I am a bit surprised you think it was a female, I was convinced it was a male. I think I saw bigger and slower falcons in the previous attacks and thought those were females.
@@Pigeonmaniacom I have posted some links in the post here, I'm not sure if you have seen it because of the filters?
Awesome video. Background music was perfect. And the bird was somn to write home about too.
Thank you, Derrick.
Man that birs can really fly.. your pegion was maneuverable,had stamina and endurance.
Your camera skills are also topnotch
Wow! Happy ending for that bird! Bravo! Falcons definitely have some endurance to chase birds like that.
Yes, compared to the hawk, the falcons are like robots with endless battery power. Missing a pigeon dive from the sky to the ground, they get back high in the sky in a few seconds.
Man I laugh so much everytime I see the Falcon trying so hard to catch the birds they have so much experience man they really love to clown the falcan 😅🤣🤣 your birds are so fit
😂 They manage to escape often but still some get caught eventually.
best pigeons in the world 🙌🔝🦅🦅🦅
You gotta be kidding. 3 from the ones at the end of the video are already taken now.
Soimul calator....falco peregrino!!!
Hi mate fantastic video that pigeon certainly had a close call hopefully gets better soon and back out flying birds looking in great shape 👍
It was just breathtaking 😍
Foarte tare👍
Thank u for upload
Now let me watch before i spam more comments 😜♥️
🤣Thank you for your interest, Haroon.
It makes me happy to know that your pigeon survived the attack. I would like to know if the survivors will be able to overcome this traumatic experience and how this affects their normal flying routine.
They usually get over it and are fine, but learn from it. For example the ones that separate from the flock and get chased, won't separate again so easily. Also if they get a bit overweight and fall behind the flock and get chased, they stop eating or eat less for a while. This might be something hormonal, not sure they are SO smart. 😆Fanciers use to say they never recover mentally and will be caught the next time but I think that is not the case, if they are taken, it is because they were lacking agility, health, etc, like the first time. I have one example from this flock, one of the biggest and most heavy youngsters got caught by the hawk and carried a lot. After the hawk landed I was able to get there and save the pigeon, it had open wounds. After recovering it started flying again and almost got caught by the falcon, giving it another wound. It recovered and got really light compared to the initial weight and today is still alive and flying well.
@@Pigeonmaniacom nice👌
@@Pigeonmaniacom I do appreciate your answer. I was very curious and your response has completely cleared all of my doubts. Have a great weekend Andrei!
@@Pigeonmaniacom oh
Brave pigeon 👑
Man back in the days , i use to have a flock of 58 racing pigeons in the country side , only mountains and trees around , you cannot imagine how terrifying it was for me to always lose a pigeons in each release , many hungry predators around , falcons , eagles hawks and many more , my pigeons reach the level of not having any will to leave the loft . I remember from 58 to 19 pigeons lasts and fight to survive.
Hi Ismail, and welcome. Yes, some days can be terrifying, especially in the beginning. Over the years you can select more adapted birds and refine the feeding so you reduce the losses. It is really satisfying when they escape and end the day with no losses. Of course there are areas where it is impossible to keep pigeons but those are rare cases. In winter my birds get attacked almost daily, sometimes by a pair of falcons and a hawk waiting for them at the loft. They have to adapt... for me pigeons = flying.
@@Pigeonmaniacom Yes, but the attacks of adult hawks are still lacking. One pair of adult hawks is enough. And doves will not just graze on the ground near the dovecote. They will be very reluctant to leave attics, and when landing, they will immediately run into the attic. An adult and a young hawk are completely different machines.
@@Dimarik73rus This is why I said some areas are impossible. It depends how far you are from the trees, how many hawks there are and the prey available. If you are the only fancier there, it won't work, probably. However, here is an interesting fact. I know a young fancier that has the loft in the mountains basically, and right above his loft there is an almost vertical forest of big trees. He has mature hawks attacks DAILY, even in hot summer they ambush attack in the garden. They took about 200 young pigeons from him just last year. But he insisted. He brought some feral street pigeon youngsters in autumn and along with the last batch of young racers from autumn he continued, but with an open loft all day long and night (this improved things a lot). By the beginning of winter he still had ~10 pigeons, half of them being racing pigeons. There were many days with no losses, even weeks. Those pigeons had food available in the yard and had to go out and eat. They also spent time on the roofs. They kept flying a lot when they got attacks from 1-2 hawks. Saw them disappearing over the forest in the fog. Fascinating. When they went too high in the sky, falcons attacked. Now he has 6 remaining, 2 of them being racing pigeons.
By the way, after I got snow and freezing temperatures, I also got mature hawk attacks. 😜 In the worst moment possible, during falcon attacks.
@@Pigeonmaniacom Trees do not play a special role, the hawk will be effective even on the football field. Everything is correct. The intensity of the hawk's attacks depends only on the abundance of game it hunts. And one more important point. It is the abundance of natural game, the wild food of the hawk. A hawk will not occupy territory just because of pigeon lovers (pigeon breeders). He needs constant food. Stable wild prey. The pigeon breeder (amateur) may be offended tomorrow and close the attic, and the hawk will have nothing to feed his children. The loss of 200 pieces is very big. I must have seen this amateur's video on your site? If so, then there is a mistake that pigeons constantly graze on the ground and on the roof. This does not happen in nature. As soon as a flock of wild pigeons suffer losses due to the unfortunate location of their home, they react either by massively replenishing the losses through breeding, or simply looking for a new place to live.
I have a whole white pigeon for a year and a half. there is a pair of hawks 500 meters away and a pair of sparrow hawks with young at 30 meters from the loft every year. one time when I was watching this white pigeon with my father (I'm thirteen myself). a male hawk went after her. they flew at 2 km altitude. when the hawk nonovated her she was down in 2 seconds. the pigeon is half pouter and half racing pigeon.
KAÇİŞ filmi
I could watch every day when a falcon or a hawk swooped in, I had pigeons and for the last 5 years I didn't yell at a hawk at all, and when it swooped in I just kept quiet and watched😊❤

Mayday mayday I'm being chased by the hawk what should I do. Fly dove fly. 😅 That was a really nice attack by the peregrine falcon and of course the dove did everything right. It's an art to catch a pigeon at these speeds. Craziness! You still have action in the sky. I only let my pigeons out 30 minutes before sunset, then the hawk doesn't come anymore. My pigeons are flying now that many bad ones have gone. I still have a few bad ones, but they don't go out of the dovecote. And the good pigeons go out and fly. They don't fly for long because it gets dark quickly, but at least 10-15 minutes. That's enough for a start. How long do your pigeons fly? When I turned on the video, at first I thought I turned on a video of myself because of the song. Thank you for showing us what is happening in your sky 👌😅👍. Seeing it live is of course a different experience.
Yes, thank you for the soundtrack idea, it is like it was created for us, I love it. You thought it is your video, eh? 🤣🤣🤣 My pigeons fly about 1 hour daily, more or less depending on weather. If it is really bad, I call them inside after 15-20 minutes of maintenance flying. The worst days with combined hawk + falcon attacks, they go over 1,5 hours of intense fast flying at the ground, then high in the sky, then ranging far away until I can't see them. Recently they started to leave with the falcon so far my zoom is useless and I can't film anything. 😤 When they finally get back some of them are exhausted, I can easily see the best ones. After we got snow and freezing temperatures I got mature hawks too, which is a different competition. 😬 I've just removed 3 lazy/weak ones. So you keep them with this schedule to minimise losses and breed more pigeons I guess. Make sure they don't mate with the bad lazy ones, or you get more lazy pigeons to fill the loft. 🤣 From my experience: lazy + good = lazy babies. 🤣🤣🤣
@@Pigeonmaniacom Yes the soundtrack is made for the raptor attacks. 😂 Yes, the problem with carrier pigeons is that they fly far away when attacked. Yes, I will keep my pigeons and will continue to breed them. I like it when the hawk flies overhead and at speed you can hear the wind rushing. 😜👍 Maybe I'll buy a few carrier pigeons too. Yes adult birds of prey hunt differently. Much more aggressive. A few days ago I had a peregrine falcon. But didn't get any. Pressed the record button too late and you only see him flying away. sheep. Wanted to catch a dove like the hawk over the roof. The pigeons were lucky there.
😲😲😲 galing nang ibon mo good day 😊✌
That bird is so lucky had me on edge but it survived 💯
You're not getting your very deserved appreciation your hard work not paying well.. one day your videos will get their place in sha Allah
Fortunately, it looks as though she has just lost some flight and secondary feathers, BUT, that still leaves a gap in the wing when flying, and until the new feathers can grow again
Definitely, she will rest in the stock loft until spring.
Супер 👍👍👍❤️ 🦅🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Very nice 👏
Súper tare
Wow that's some nice acrobatics...glad it makes it back to loft....
Btw how often do u introduce new birds to your loft for breeding or may be young birds
I think u should make a video on that too
I used to buy many birds years ago, I was ridiculous. Two years ago I only got 2 new entries and last year none. It depends on how many birds you have to work with to avoid very close inbreeding.
@@Pigeonmaniacom but majority of ur bloodline is from ambassador right? If u breed the them wouldn't that be inbreeding ...
Btw i started introducing new birds hope this year is better for me
@@haroonhidayat Yes, many of them have Ambassador bloodline but it is mixed with various other lines so it is pretty safe for now. In a few years I'll have to bring new pigeons. When you introduce new birds, make sure you get them from people that have very resistant ones, they do not use a lot of medication, etc.
super pigeon 👍💪👏
Nice Video.🙋
Very decent falcon maneuvers. In the wild, this pigeon would just die. After all, he would have had to fly the next day in search of food, and in this state the same falcon would have overtaken him even faster. Excellent video quality up close. And what is the nest in the tree in the last seconds of the video, a gray crow?
Yes, I have grey crows nesting and I feed them in winter, they help a lot against the hawks. Of course the pigeon would die in the wild but also in the wild they wouldn't fly high in the sky for 1+ hours exposing themselves daily, they would just fly at roof level to the feeding place and back.
@@Pigeonmaniacom Yes, but in the wild the pigeon has yet to find that food. Our wild pigeons fly to grain warehouses (5-20km one way). And throughout the route they are attacked by different hawks. Even when the dove flies with a full goiter. And if we (fans) see bad weather, we can skip the day of the rut of pigeons, but no one will pour grain into the feeder of a wild pigeon, and it flies in search of food even in the fog.
@@Dimarik73rus Yes, every life style has its advantages and problems. Having to fly back with a full crop of food, the ferals have an even smaller body weight to carry that food and still be able to escape attacks. Racers are bigger anyway and I have to adjust feeding. The smallest ones I have about the size and body type of the ferals are best and I love them but they do not race so well... I guess you can't have them all in one.
Wow, I also want such a bird for myself, but it's not about the bird, it's about the owner of the bird, since you treat a bird, not everyone can respect you and your bird so much!
Whats amazing is the pigeon starts to climb because she knows she can climb faster, its in a dive the falcon would catch her easily.
Top, sehr gute Taube, ich habe meine Tauben auch 365 Tage im Freiflug, heute erst wieder zwei Angriffe vom Habicht, hat aber keine erwischt.
Hi Achim, always great to know more fanciers let the pigeons fly the entire year.

How many pigeons have you lost this winter?
I've lost 12 pigeons this winter to falcons and hawks.
@@Pigeonmaniacom Thank you for you answer,me too hawks robbed 12 pigeons.
Noroc mare pe el 😊
Si un strop de antrenament si stapanire de sine. Dar norocul mare a fost ca am gasit-o a doua zi sub lemne in partea opusa a curtii, toata noaptea o putea lua vreo pisica sau alt pradator nocturn.
Do you right blogs about how to adapt or select best pigeons against falcon attacks?
I will probably make a video or post an article on the blog.
The price of flying racing pigeons today 😢
Good Boy!!!💪
2:32 I have a pigeon who’s wing is like this should I try and wrap it? I tried to but he hated it so I stopped. Will the wing heal on its own? He doesn’t fly well at all. Also I was wondering was this damage to the wing caused by the hawk? Very cool video, had me on edge the whole time. I was so relieved when they returned also. 😅
Pegions really past through alot
Nice bird bro ..
👍💪💖
Pigeons are so badass in terms of personality too, very brave. If they had the same weapons as falcon, or any birds of prey, like the sharp talons and sharp beaks, I think pigeons would be a super predator. Pigeons are so brave they fight to death, next to roosters. Its cuz they have weak beak and dont have any defense strategy, they fly away,

Heartbreaking. Some sports should be banned
this is female right?
FALCOM
Bro give me 1per ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
maybe young male falcon looks small experience female large falcon usually pigeon don’t have chance as it will come from behind pigeon blind spot and catch it with legs .thus falcon maybe just playing or trying to kill the pigeon not grab looks young falcon
That is an adult female peregrine
the thing about pregrene falcon even if they not hungry they will still come after pigeon just to damage it or kill it with a hit or just practise their hunting especially if teaching young birds .if falcon not hungry they will not grab the pigeon they will hit it with beak wound the pigeon .if pregrne is hungry most cases pigeon is gone . most racing pigeon fancier given up sport due to losing too many pigeon to pregrene .this falcon is small male maybe playing or powering up he’s hunting skills by the way males are not that good of hunters females twice the size and have no mercy
