    Accents.

    I remember most were black and tan and I had the shit scared out of me by a pack of them when I got sent the paper shop when I was 7 or 8.

    My auntie was round little Hulton when I was a kid so went round there a bit and it was like a different world, packs of street dogs and rough arses I couldn't understand

    Accents.

    The scouse accent changes for different bits of Liverpool some areas its stronger than others. Mancs always sound like they're trying to act hard to me. I think my accent is neutral but I should have a strong one like one of didos villages but our local accent and dialect has faded since my dad's time and it's a shame really.
  4. The ones that look like bird boxes that they drop down on a fen plate would probably be ok, fill them with peanuts and put traps in when your able?
  5. I think no matter what species one of them behind the lug hole does the job.
  6. A young lad I work with is epileptic which they finally diagnosed after him fitting at work and coming off his moped etc. They had his seizures under control with meds and he was allowed to drive and has been for a few years now until he recently had a seizure driving and had a disagreement with a lamp post at a decent speed. He doesn't remember the journey 10 minutes or so before crashing so must have been on autopilot and luckily it was rural and clear roads. He had recently been put on anti depressants which messed up his epilepsy meds.
  7. Them fluffy mongrels are going for less than a grand now and people are offloading young breeding age bitches too as the arse is falling out of the market. A local breeder to me has given 3 frenchie pups away this month because she couldn't shift them.

    Dogs

    I'm probably a lot younger than some of you lads contemplating your last dogs but the boat I'm in at the minute is say I've had my last hunting dog. I've always said I'd get a staff or a gundog in the future but knowing my luck I'd end up with a dog aggressive psycho of a staff so it's looking like the gundog route for me as a family dog I can still get our with. I miss having a dog around the place but I can see the benefits of not having one to worry about too.

    My mate

    Does anyone listen to the big cat podcast thingy? I have now and again at work and there was an old gamekeeper on the last one who sounded pretty genuine, some of the people I've heard on there before sound a bit odd for want of a better term.
  10. I tried linnets a couple of times and just couldn't get them to nest. The hen was going mad for material and flying around with it but just wouldn't choose one of the many sites I put in. Other lads have them going down in wire cages in the house.
  11. If its still black this time of year mate I'd say he's just gonna stay like that and will probably have filled them especially with a goldie hen.
  12. Finally got some on the sticks
  13. Frontline spray on my little birds does the job but maybe a bit costly on bigger birds. I think its called exzolt people are recommending now. Same active ingredient as dogs bravecto tablets which I got tempted to chop up and try on the birds.
  14. Just have to hope some disease ridden junkie hadn't done the same before you now ?
  15. It's bouncing down over here
  16. And when they run out of bunnies to rifle the hares and cubs are next on the menu

    The clips I've seen he could break absolutely everything before the weeks out the mad b*****d
  18. Them frenchies have fell in price drastically and loads of people are offloading their young breeding stock too since the arse started dropping out of the market.

    It must be that fuzzy camera greyman,they are flat coated retrievers.
  20. Hows everyone getting on? I've got a few canaries out and finally got some mules and full eggs in the nest now after a lot of clears. Lost both my marked goldfinch hens so wrote them off for this year but managed to get a hen which has built up ready to lay. This time last year I'd bred a lot more.
  21. Pretty much anything you search for on YouTube will have something you wouldn't mind knocking boots with in the video in some way. YouTube suggests things too and you find yourself watching a live edge table being made, snorkeling or women's athletics. The long jumper videos with 10+ million views didn't get them from people admiring her skill.
  22. I don't know tbh mate. My first pair if canaries had chicks on boxing day in the house with a normal light bulb though, the cock was bred in the same year too.
  23. A lad I know breeds a lot early doors using heat and light in his shed and it suits him but personally summer is for breeding birds. I've thought about putting my goldie cocks in one shed with lights and the canaries on natural lights to try and get them in condition at the same time but I'd worry about messing them up.
