    hi guys , i have the chance of buying a 2 year old tx200 in 177 , i have read lots of posts tonight but they are all about the hc not the full length rifle could anyone tell me if they are hold sensitive and are they quiet enough for shooting mainly rabbits or are there other rifles i can consider for £450 max would prefer spring as never had a pcp and want to shoot with as little hassel as possible must be ambidextrous or left handed , i dont want a gun i have to send off to get tuned just want to buy and shoot thanks in advance

    out of the many breeds of chickens i have kept the breed i would recommend is the poland / polish they are so calm and not skittish at all and are one of the quieter chickens i have kept lay a decent sized egg and are easy to handle

    hi all this is the first catapult i have ever tried to make , was feeling bored so browsed the tree in the front garden and this was what i kept , i am looking for advice as to whether to use flat bands with loops or tubes through holes and pins . thanks in advance for any advice also would anyone be able to sell me the bands/ tubes and leather pouch please
  17. pappabear
    i think thats the best idea millet , thanks fireman i now have the perfect excuse to start planning another aviary
  18. pappabear
    thanks for the replies , i will take the advice from you guys as i know you are alot more experienced than me and couldnt put the wife through having another just to lose it because of my inexperience plus waiting will give her a chance to make sure she definately wants to keep british finches . 2nd question is a aviary and flight letting the birds mix in a group better or are they best kept seperate i have 3 triple breeder cages i had for my canaries and a 6x4 shed with 3/4 of one side open with weldmesh double netted , do i need to build a seperate flight and housing to keep the goldies

    could also offer a handmade knife that i bought from midnight on here for a pair
  20. pappabear
    taz , that would be brilliant , could you let me know what you would like for a couple and how long do you think it would be before they are ready togo
  21. pappabear
    thanks millet , ideally would like a young bird / birds that the wife could hopefully get hand tame , or a pair that i could hopefully hatch some from , was just hoping for somthing to occupy her as she has been with this bird solid for 4 weeks , i put him in the aviary and think he flew into the wall , so feeling rather guilty at the moment

    hi guys , i know this is a big ask but i am after a couple of goldfinches as my wifes one she has been hand rearing has died and she is devastated . i dont have a lot of spare cash but i am willing to exchange my 14 bengalese and 8 zebs for a couple , or would swap my as new .177 stoeger x20s wood stock for some as hate seeing the wife so upset , failing that if anyone has some for sale please let me know and i will try to sell the rifle to fund them
