If the birds are waiting for the crickets as such then put the crickets in the fridge first for 10, mins and it slows them right down so they don't all just jump or run away..

Dandilions seeds give them black beaks and in the wild there be all over the dandilions like buggery so you lads should be out collecting the unopen seed heads by the carrier bag full..A natural conditioner and a natural trigger food for nesting,get some live food into them finches as well lads and you will see the improvement,copy whats going on in the wild as there ain't any hard seeds out there,it's all buds/greenfoods,soft seeds and insects there eating...

It's a rain cover for game birds and that's the old water container for when it used to be a release pen..When it was in use there'd be some cover/feed crops around it in the surrounding fields and the birds would be driven back towards the spinny,birds will always fly better going home as such so you drive pheasants back towards the release pen..

Cracking and good luck with the season ahead,paint your wire black and your'll see your birds so much better mate....

I knew a bull x grey that would do it with partridges,she'd sort of bring back a rabbit but partridges she'd gulp down choking herself stupid while doing it and they still be flapping when she did it..

We had our work horses sussed hundreds of years before America was founded,the mule was used in war time by us as a load carrier etc and stayed until motor transport took over..The need for a quick load carrier in the US ment the mule was easier to breed as they are tough old things that could cope with the climate and conditions better than a horse bed for a different terrain,weather etc would..Seen a few pics of mules out hunting with hounds and there used to be a Ginnet living in a field not far from me which is a mule but bred the other way round,horse mother donkey sire,funny looking thin

Most area's as such in Britain had there own type of work horses that suited the land where they lived and worked and the horses are named as such,The Shire,The Suffolk Punch,The Fell Pony,The Welsh Cob and Pony etc etc..

Loads of wild birds use horse hair but i never would as iv'e had chicks loose toes with long lengths of seazle (think that's what it's called,white stuff like horse hair) so i used to just use coconut husks,dog hair,moss,and cotton wool as the goldies and redpols love cotton wool..

A pal of mine's terrier brought in a bold featherless chick one day and he reared it,it was a starling and it could talk,well i say talk it'd tell you to fcuk off and call you a wanker.Funny thing that had a thing for trying to pluck your eyebrows,he had it for a few years just flying loose and it would fly off into his garden and come back in when he called it..One day it just didn't come back..
-
Not sure if Blackbirds copy a noise they hear but Starlings do,they don't have a song as such and just use sounds they have heard.There's one by me who's song starts with the sound a ambulance makes when the siren first starts up,i live in a small village that has a sort of rat run/short cut through and when a ambulance reaches my road they put the siren on so they can do a Y junction fast and the Starling has copied that..

I used to have flower pots upside down with a snap trap underneath and a little pop hole in the rim so the mouse could get in but not any birds,caught a good few mice with them but rats are a fecker to have around a aviary..
