  1. I used to have a window box with wire over the top and i grew chickweed in it,the birds could eat away at the chickweed without eating the whole plant . I also grew wild hops up the wire and that did grow faster than the birds did pecking at it,iv'e also grown nettles and docks and a few dandilions in grow bags,but found just picking it all wild and hoofing it in by the bucket load kept the birds occupied and fed what mother nature intended them to eat.I also had a bucket with wire over the top and had rotten fruit in it and it always made me laugh watching the birds chasing and catching the t
  2. Any hole a biro pen will fit in a mouse can squeeze through i was once told by a old bird man and after seeing what some of our bigger wildlife can fit into i'd say he wouldn't be far wrong to be honest and i did used to catch mice regular outside in my flights both wood and house mice...
  3. I used to have a couple of snap back mouse traps in each outside flight and had them under upside down plastic flower pots and i just cut some little mouse holes in the pots,i never had a bird go into a hole so never had any unwanted catches.. I'd would also paint the wire black as you will see the birds so much better and use a roller as it's a pain with a brush.... Cracking little set up and the best of luck with it....
  4. Just seen this Jok and if your on facebook there's a few ford ranger pages there worth putting on to sell them...
  5. You don't deserve it ....
  6. Did see that myself and i do have a regular browse on there and there is the odd "worth a punt pooch" on there ,but plenty of stuff like the Berwick speed lurcher bollocks..
  7. Just a moment... WWW.PETS4HOMES.CO.UK FFS......
  8. No mate but knew a few folk who did live there , i do have to say although at times it was hard and life could have been so much easier in "town" as such i wouldn't swap those days for anything. I'm 57 years old next week a and i have to work maybe harder than i should at my age due to me sort of living my life backwards and doing what i wanted in my earlier days rather than getting a mortage etc etc, but like i said i have memories that i find hard to believe at times and they make me smile, regrets??,who ain't got a few but not from me for the way i chose to live on the road ..It's never to
  9. Was parked up near some irish over 30 years ago now and to say it was mental at times is no understatement, we had wars and some really funny times with a bit of human kindness towards other human beings chucked in. A few days after we had pulled on our site a few "lads " from the irish site started to drive through our site fast at night and were acting the cnut,the next day i went over to a trailer which had a fire outside and a few men folk around it and asked the old fella to have a word with the young lads about driving through the site like cnuts, the young lads were sat around the fire
  10. Ain't it funny when someone else says out loud just what your thinking...................
  11. Seen it just the once myself a few years back,but was listening to a goldy cock in full song this week and thought to myself he's banging that out early .Still as you know mate when they want to pair and go down then they will and looks like them two want to make it happen.....
  12. The old droves and stopping places have all been ditched or made impossible to get onto so travellers are these days forced into more public places as private land is a no no with the public order bill, us hippies used to do ur very best to keep out the publics eye and who the feck wants to live in a car park?, but like i say the old lanes and commons are all no go zones,so just where are these people meant to go??.. Don't get me wrong i can't stand the race in general but they don't have a settled history and do have a right to live there nomadic life....
  13. It's like a metal iron and it helps stop swelling mate...
  14. No pics but i would remember you will need space for the young you will breed and even from other pairs if you have more than 2 pairs coming, also a safety porch is a total must and it's gutting to see a bird (had it happen) or even all you have wizz past you and i know it's not as nice as flights but sometimes big breeding cages will help you and the birds better when lack of space dictates..
  15. If she's been in the river the whole time....post mortem etc will tell the sad final story and may she now rest in peace the poor tormented lady..
  16. Easy to turn most weed purple so not really a thing to rely on as in quality...
  17. I see hundreds of hares every day going to and from work and the amount of spraying going on at the moment this way there'd be lying every where if it was down to spray toxins.
  18. Your going to be a much hated man for knocking her on the head socks......
  19. And that might just save game bird protection terrier work as there hasn't been a need for them to be out with hounds since the ban started...
