    Good result. Will be doing much the same myself, soon. Again, using some great info from this site. ATB

    Gape Worm (syngamus trachea). Lodges in the throat area. Birds with it are often seen to 'snick' to try and dislodge them.

    A BIG thank you to those who answered, very good of you to take the time. I didn't want to go into this 'blind', and so knew I would receive good advice on here. I most certainly wish to deal with the creatures as quickly & cleanly as possible, and so will follow the advice given by 'those-in-the-know'. Thanks again ALL, a real help ATB J

    Hello all..... dumb-arsed question for you, but... I will be setting some live traps for Mink in the near future, and was wondering if any of you could recommend an Air pistol to deal with (hopefully) caught Mink. As the Estate I work on is open to the public, I thought pistol rather than rifle. (Easier to get around the lake area without panicking the fee-paying punters) Was thinking of somethimg in .177 flavour? Any advice gratefully received. Thank you.

    Went to work...fed Peafowl & Guinea Fowl...Swans & Ducks on the lake, then the Reindeer (3 times), then the Ornamental Pheasant collection. Checked traps. Checked electric fence. Put new roof on an aviary. Drank coffee. Had fags. Same again tomorrow.

    Is it true that it's best not to keep them where you've kept poultry before...Blackhead or summink?

    Good luck, CarraghsGem. Be interested to know how you get on. All the best, J.

    Hi CarraghsGem, been a while since I kept any cage birds, so may of got this all wrong due to age-addled brain...but... most young parakeets go through a nipping stage. It's a bit like kids going through teething. They usually grow out of it in their own time. To help things along, whenever you're about to give your parakeet a treat or something it particularly likes, if it nips you before it takes it, remove the treat. Try again a minute or so later. Give the treat if it hasn't nipped. If you give the treat AFTER nipping, it will associate nipping with rewards, and then possibly never grow ou
