Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Just to rub it in a bit more Pete.. Oh, that's rubbed in alright, mate! F**k me, I'd be scurrying around on my hands and knees, trying to find them! What a shame we can't team up. I could sit on the back of your quad and you could slip me on the runners!

Believe me, Fireman, I (Obviously, I'd have thought by now?) have absolutely no personal problem with aviculture. In fact, some of the stuff kept and bred in captivity gives me a screamer! I'd f**king Love to visit these shows and see these amazing birds, calmly hopping about their perches. It'd just be so cool to see them close up That said? I'm absolutely Not one of these 'Listing Ringer' types. I've no wish what so ever to go to Israel and ring unheard of species. Just to add names to my list. I'd sooner ring a million Starlings from my own boxes, and learn about what they get up to, than handle a single Lesser Spotted Fukk Tit in the Gambia. That said? Having personally handled a living Treecreeper ....? I can die a contented man now. Aviary with Treecreepers breeding in it? Stand there. Whack it out. Crack one off, surely? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
