Damn!!! I honestly think tonights cigar goes to Dan!

I'll have to look into it, just to be sure. But, fukk yeah! What could be simpler - and cheaper! And, a good, flesh filled maggot's got to be a world ahead of a mealworm fed with carrot.

Cheers, Dan. I'll have a dig about. Look into the possibilities of this

Costing me a fcuking fortune in mealworms trying to tame a Robin we got at work that’s moved into the engine room I don’t mind an as soon as it gives me the pleasure of eating out me hand it will be worth it

had a robin make a nest in my longnet basket that was hanging up in my shed a few years ago....was lovely to watch...

I'm about £7 a week on the feeders with the live mealworms, seeds, fat balls, peanuts, suet pellets but get an amazing (to me) mix of birds. Well worth it

Cheers, D.

Right then. Maggots; Google has been wrecked. I've searched everywhere, read every opinion. Finally I took the option to 'Phone A Friend'. And Allen came through for me!

I won't bother regurgitating all the answers, opinions and experiences the internet drags up. Allen is a professional supplier of cage bird requisites. He sells " Frozen Pinkies ". Maggots that people pay dearly for. So their prized show birds can stuff their own hatchling chicks with. Nuff said?

And, I asked him how come? He explained - as I've seen said on the net - you have to let the maggots clean themselves first. It's the black spot, visible in the maggot. That's its last meal. That's rotten meat. That's where the Botulism hides!

So, yeah: Breed those muvva's like a corpse. But, put them in clean sawdust till they've shit! Loose the black spot.

All I need now is a fukking blow fly!

" Homing Flies "? This could be the next 'Big Thing', Sid! Put little rubber bands on their legs. Get little clocks.

I may start breeding myself a whole yard of Pit Flies! That'd catch on with the chavs, surely? Imagine them; " Yurr, mayte. Mor flie's deyn eyta GCh. Buzz, ROM, mayte! " FFS.

There'd be a Massive thread on here too, ten years time. Everyone hinting that They Were There, back in the day. It'd be like the fukking Balcony, all over again!

Here's a good bit of free sport for you KD in mid summer sit on the couch length in hand hood held right back.

once a fly lands on the helmet.slam the hood over said helmet with the aim of trying to kill the fly with said hood."foreskin". You got to be quick mind them flies are fast..
