LilMissLurcher 2 Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I had a rook/raven/crow thing years ago, rescued it from some magpies. fed it dog food but it also had a taste for spagetti?! might of been the resemblance of worms! Quite an unusual pet but fun! Ended up taking it to a bird sanctuary as its quite a messy and noisy creature plus it flew backwards lol, had it a good 12 months though! Hope you manage to sort it out! Atb LilMissLurcher Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And the relevance of that is? ...unless i'm missing the point.... ignore him lilmisslurcher. i only wanted one as i read colin didriksens country mischief and the chapter on satchmo and his other birds is quality ive wanted a corvid ever since!!! look at it this way colin has done more in the field than most on here including the mods who write there own books or articles but he still found space in his book to write up about wildbirds he had tamed as he found it fun and interesting so im gonna give it ago to as there is a hell of alot more to country life than just hunting or shooting shame not everyone realises it!!
