After a couple of hours I was wondering why the young birds were nervous and constantly flying away from the loft.
Sparrowhawk.
I was standing between the loft door and the back door of the house. It's a space of about 3 metres. I was calling the pigeons in when the hawk went through the gap, at shoulder height, at 100 miles an hour. The pigeons went in all directions.
Another hour latter, I finally got them in. They were all over the loft, none were are on their own perches. I spent half an hour sorting them out, making sure they had a feed and they all had a perch.
It was dark by then, so i left the lights on for a few minutes so they could get their minds sorted out.
Next issue?
There's a sparrowhawk needs to go away.

The Morrison government let the people of Australia down very very badly. Each state has a premier, sort of a prime minister for that state. The premiers have done the people of Australia a great deal of harm with Covid vaccine mandates, lock downs, shutting state borders and imposing regulations which have been horrific at times. Scott Morrison just let them get away with it.
He could have intervened. Section 109 of the constitution of Australia gives Federal law precedence over state law. They could have passed legislation stopping it, but he was too weak.
I wrote that Mr Morrison did not deserve to be re elected. Obviously a lot of people agreed.
