tsteve9999 456 Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Off subject a bit but has anyone been to the parrot sanctuary in Leicester? All the birds are free flying and its a strange experience to see flocks of the things flying in and out of the place. I bet the areas bird tables are a sight to see.

I bet he,d look a bit like a chicken as well sat in a baking tray with no cloths on surrounded by roasters, you can see why it went extinct in the first place really can't you simular to the dodo, big, tasty and flightless not good traits for longevity 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think they are here to stay now, you can get a licence to shoot them but I can't see us getting rid of them, interestingly they recon the originals exscaped from the film set of African queen with Humphrey boggart Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had anybody actually seen one in the wild for themselves surely if extinct animals are a real.thing somebody would have seen one ? Strange stance, on a global level we are driving lots of things to extinction probably on a monthly basis, it does not have to be an alpha animal like rhino,s and tigers, insects and bugs are going at an alarming rate, if you want one to research take a look at the thylosene or Tasmanian tiger officially went extinct in about 1933 at the hands of mankind Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most annoying fuuckers ever! Millions of them here and smart as hell (well at least the older ones). Here's a pic from parc ciutadella a few years ago when Trevor was alive. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think that's a ringneck looks like a quaker to me. Smaller but just as annoying and noisy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
