  1. hi all, i have been thinking for some time about starting a bird house. i would like to breed mules if possible but as i say i am a complete beginner. i have just got the housing setup and i was gonna add a caged flight. will i need one or not? i am after any advice on setting up and an idea of how many pairs i could keep. my housing i 8ft x 10ft. it is insulated but has no electric to it yet. my mate is an electrician so not a problem. What sort of cost am i looking at to set up breeding? have kept birds such as parrots and budgies so i know about care and diets. anyone help? cheers

  6. for the cheapest traps to make get some card roll it into a cone. paint inside contact glue or carpet high tack glue when its nearly gone off put some sweetcorn or feed on the glue so they stick to it. tie it to a piece of string and repeat it til you have a line of about 5. bring them to your local pheasant haunt and line them out in cover away from prying eyes. stake the end with a bar or branch. throw a handful of feed around them and return in a few hours to 5 live pheasants sat there waiting with paper cones stuck to their heads. works best late afternoon. dont let keeper catch you. and t
  7. go to tesco around 7.30-8pm and buy up the tin loafs (unsliced). bring it to your chosen spot and stake it to the ground with a threaded bar or similar. ratty will do his best to be off with it which gives you plenty of time to line up a shot. i shot 70 rats over a weekend on a local fishery to me using this method. the rats seem to forget the danger factor whilst thinking how to drag it off. hope this helps. if you need the aroma you could soak the top of the loaf in a nut oil

  14. no. its the 2wd. but found out yesterday that if you put the rear leaf springs on top of the back axil instead of underneath it raises the body nearly 3 inches. longer shocks on front and then put bigger wheels with bigger tyres. because there is so much traction you would never get stuck anyway. i have this off a friend who is a 4x4 enthusiast.
