  1. :icon_eek: Absolutely f**king staggered, mate!
  2. F**k me! They didn't look That big! Doubt they'd be horsey though. Are they not split? Horse fittings tend (Need) to be solid. Could yet be for a big mirror, I suppose? Just that I've seen similar before. Can't quite get my finger on it. Stiggly'll know
  3. Precisely. If she was walking around with a black sheet over her? Living off benefits? They wouldn't dare say 'Boo!' to her. Just f**king incredible, isn't it?
  4. But, don't get too excited. Look. Just f**king staggering, isn't it?!
  5. Cracker, this! Not only a cracking read ~ and full of so much Bird Catching lore (This is actually the book that taught me to recognise a chaffinches song!) it Really should have been titled " The Bird Catchers Tale " But, the irony is not lost, on me, that Curtis conveys, to Speakman, the ~ even then ~ complete f**king arrogance and buffoonery which the Arsepca had degenerated into, fifty years ago. Since then, of course, they've grown rich enough to buy themselves a make over. Now they're the pets and keepers Guardian Angels ~ by the diminishing few. In fact, the message
  6. Shuter; Ye need to get onto Pigeon Racers, dead quick. They'll be needing some sort of 'Squab Milk' formulae. Else they won't last long, despite all ye best intentioned efforts. I wish ye luck. I like woodies
  7. Interesting ..... I'm pretty much on top of what grows, round here. And few enough Dogs piss on any of it. No more than any wild animals could account for. Yet, the simple fact is that we don't get huge amounts of dandelions here abouts. I've seen film of guys with carrier bags full of seeding heads! That's just mental! Not gonna happen, round here, sure as hell! I see frozen peas getting a good press? Doesn't exactly smack of the most natural food in the world. But; Can it be better than nothing? Most of all, this " Perle Morbide " shit is getting my attention. Though, the Big
  8. Mbeep Now; How many f**king heads are we going to wreck here?
  9. Made my f**king day, that has! I swear to god; Only this afters, I was drawing up my plans for a quite major assault on a cage bird suppliers ~ getting all the bits together for my envisaged canaries. And I could barely bring myself Not to add some Hand Rearing gear to the wish list. 'Just In Case'! Maybe this is The Gypsys Warning? Perhaps I should just happen to have some of that stuff around the place? Greenie? As I say; The lads who breed natives would know best. They'll have watched every f**king day, from hatching to adulthood. They know their shit! But, yeah; Beak doe
  10. Certainly looks the size for a sparrow, doesn't it? As ye say; Finches would be the other contenders. Chaff? Maybe the aviculture lads, accustomed to seeing their ABCR stuff grow up, could shed some light? Just so happens, this is about the Least likely stage that I'd ever handle a bird at. Too old, by far, to dare approach in a nest. But, too young to effectively hit a mist net. What to feed it would be my own main concern. I hope ye manage to get it through. Thing is though, being a full on albino? How will ye ever know, for sure, what the f**k it is?! Unless it's a cock and even
  11. Okay. As a brand spanking new convert to walking around with a f**king Computer in my pocket ( ) Just what might one expect from such an App ? I only have the one, as far as I know. BTO Ringers one. Brilliant! It's like the Observers Book of Bird Biometrics and Ring Reminders! But, what information ~ or what ever ~ could an active forum provide us that we couldn't get from the forum? Genuine question. I've had my first ever Smart Phone for less than a week and am learning by pressing buttons.
  12. Pete Ingram once said he reckons a crafty pint or two seems to steady his hand .....
  13. Aidy; As those ladders get drawn up mate. As ye try to see through the piss raining down on ye. I'll be the bloke laying on that wall. Reaching my arm down. And looking ye in the eye as I tell ye to grab my f**king hand!
  14. Blow me! All this talk of rotten wood and bits and pieces? I was dreading what I might see! I take it you're at least going to wash and wax ye Dads motor now?
  15. Why on earth should I be 'bitter'?! I retired before fifty and am now quietly living the dream! Ye say yeself; " I don't go on any forums other than this one. " Well, I Did, ye see? For years. And that's where I got the information I relayed above. It's the same old story, no matter where ye go. So, before making defensive criticisms of my own views, please at least have the civility to check out my stated sources first. It's all out there I'm not ranting at all. See? Simply stating the facts. Maybe I can be the one to that, without 'bitterness or rant', because it now has absolu
  16. I love the nests under those mules, mate! What materials are they using there? They look like nothing I've ever seen in nature. The crafty one, in the feeder's a scream too! Bless!
  17. Aidy; What I was actually moving toward getting off my chest there, mate ~ all be it in a rather convoluted and dry style ~ is that, if ye look at the 'proper' pest control fora, ones dedicated to just that subject? You'll f**king soon realise that No One will Ever become a " Pest Controller " nowadays. That's because the paper pesties out there are all too busy trying to drag their little ladders up, they'll Always find a new bit of paper to show They're the boys. And, anyone else with one less scrap of paper than they've got is the shit on their shoes. Now, I'm seriously asking ye, m
  18. Eighth picture down? Two traps. Lower one has sacking bound around the jaws? Frankly; I'd put that f**ker in a fire and let the lot burn off. It's probably just me, being jumpy. But, the Aussies wrap strychnine, just like that. And that stuff just never goes away.
  19. Was it Shakespeare who said; " Never a Lender, or Borrower be; Or some c***t, with a Cleaver, may come looking for thee! "
  20. *Just a note to myself; To return to this ~ extremely close to my own heart ~ subject, when I'm less likely to bring on a massive aneurysm over it!* F**k this! I already feel a hard, throbbing pulse in my skull! Dunlop?!?!
  21. In a word, mate? Black! The male bird, seen at all well, shows nicely defined, solid, jet black. Over his head and down his back and wings. Female's just washed out, by comparison. Now; That's without any reference to any field guides, look. I'm not claiming any credentials as a " Birder ". That's just me, glancing out the window and seeing these birds, as you might, for a few minutes a day. Usually separately. And separated by hours. That's just what seems obvious to me. Try it
