had to chase a baby black bird around the house tonight when i got home from work, bloody cat brought it through the cat flap anyway took it outside then reallised it could'nt fly so had to catch it again as cat would have got it, found a bucket popped it in and it's dad came and feed it right next to me, it was making a sodding racket almost as loud as the rattles in my mig doors! came up with a plan and it's now in the bucket hanging from the washing line wrapped up in a couple of tea towels and keeps getting visits from parents and the bloody cats prancing around below poor bugger only hope after all this it does'nt rather rain as it probably cant swim yet and cant find my drill to make holes in bucket :-/ :'(

Strap an umbrella above it ;)

My parent's cat brought a dying mouse in the house. It took them ages to find where the smell of the dead mouse was coming from!! :-?

the worst of it was the mrs phones me up while i'm on the way home from work (was'nt driving honest) going mad that there's another bird in the house! so i;m thinking i'll just have to pick it up and pop it in the bin (black one or council will be all angry and that) but no, it's flapping around all over the shop and craping all over my surround system how much poo can these things hold? it's everywhere anyway going to check on the little sod now might creep up on it and give the bucket a good slap with a fat stick! not really

Just as our cat seems to have got too old for such capers I get a rather bird dropping down the chimney, getting covered in soot and then going apesh!t in the lounge. Now I have little wing imprints all over the ceiling, and another ouitstanding decorating job Mrs. KW can nag me about. >:(

Sue saved a young blackbird from a cat last year, he now lives near us and feeds in our garden. He has a mate as well.
-
I dont have these problems.I've got a gun.
-
I now keep half bricks by the back door specifically for visiting cats.....rather vermin.

What gets me about cats is that they can, ahem, "do their business", on your property without the owners facing any prosecution.
Now, as a dog owner, if I were to allow my dog to do the same... >:(

Birds. [smiley=thumbdown.gif]
My father was an orkneefologhist oarneefo mad twitcher. I hate them, I have a family of seagulls with cholera putting their acid sh!t all over my lovely tractor every day.
Living a few 100 metres from the sea its a major hazard. They also steal your ice cream and peck your hat off unless you wave your arms around like a demented windmill.
Now looking at modifying an ultrasonic cat repeller to fit to the car..... burst their b*stard eardrums I will! [smiley=evil.gif]

Where in Devon?
Seagulls are terrible in St Ives, Falmouth and Saundersfoot from my experience

Twixt Torbay and Exeter, just look for the circling gulls.......

I feel a song coming on...........
"Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black light.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise".
From The Beatles White Album C. 1968
:-* :-* :-* :-* :D :D :D :D
How the lyrics apply to so many of us and our lives! ::) ::) ::) :D :D ; ;) ;))

never forget my cousin hand reared one of those when we were kids, he spent hours and hours feeding it with a syringe, it used to follow him all over the house, he came down stairs one morning bare footed as the bird would not stop calling, as he got to the bottom step he stood on something..you can guess the rest, he morned the bird for weeks... ;D ;D ;D should not laugh but i PMSL when he told me.

Ahh Ms Zoom, how right you are :y I must confess to having teared up reading over the lyrics again. I once heard this sung in a very uncomplicated and unadorned way by a single female voice. It suited the occasion and the song so, so well. That's why we must hear, as well as listen to, such work :y :y

I`ve got a Blackbird nesting in the barn; the nest is 'perched' (sorry!) on the top a couple of stored wooden fence-posts.....`safely away from any feral-felines.
I think the brood numbers four.....seemingly they`re comprised mostly of a 'mouth' [smiley=happy.gif]

One of lifes great mysteries,why was it that as soon as the Beatles broke up did Paul Mcartney lose all of his songwriting genius? :-/
Wasnt that impressed with Lennon either tbh, "Imagine theres no countries"-grow up ffs ::) ;D

[Chorus]
Where be it Blackbird to?
I know where he be,
He be up yon Wurzel tree,
And I be after he!
Now I sees he, And he sees I,
Bugger'd if I don't get 'en
Wit a girt big stick I'll knock 'im down
Blackbird, I'll 'ave thee!
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
'Ow's 'E Fadder?
(Audience Answer) Allright!
All me life I'm on the farm,
Workin' for me keep
Tendin' pigs and chickens,
And they cows and sheep
And then while I'm workin',
there's one who always mocks me
He sittin up 'dere in the trees,
blackbird I'll 'ave thee!
Chorus
Underneath the open sky
in spring we loves to dine.
We likes to 'ear the flappin'
of the missus' washin' line
We listens to a tuneful song,
a blackbird or a tit,
But on me vest and underpants
he scored a direct hit!
Chorus
If I goes out poachin',
a creepin' through the fields,
With me old retriever,
a followin' at me heels.
If I aim me shotgun at a pheasant in the hay
That bloody blackbird starts his row
and frightens him away!
Chorus
No longer can I sleep at night,
get peace of any kind,
That bird'll be the death of me,
he's prayin' on me mind!
If I chase him long enough,
I'll get 'en by and by,
And celebrate me vict'ry
wit a girt big blackbird pie!
Chorus

I like that version. :y ;D ;D
