Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 All these stories of raising these birds from chicks you lads have shared with us are f*cking bang on I'd love to give it a blast but I've never had any experience rearing or keeping birds at all. Best of luck with the chicks lads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) Good luck with them fella, just give them a bit of tinned cat or dog food. I had an old medial clamp here that I use for disgorging fish, I just used it to put chunks towards the back of it's gob! Just be careful to avoid the opening to the trachea at the back of the thought. Don't FFS give them to Maltenby...what he done to that poor Jackdaw was wrong on so many levels FTB take them to malt,the bird man of wales.but he looks f**k all like burt lancaster Fecking Jocks... PS. It really did fly away, ungrateful b*****d that it was! Edited May 26, 2010 by maltenby Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hannah4181 260 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 You lot have all done way better than me! I dumped my magpie fledgling after 3 hours, its squawking irritated the hell out of me and the dogs . . even after food! Noisy little sod! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trapperman 474 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 my dad had a jackdaw when he was a kid said it was a spot on bird well tame all the stories about it made me want one so when i was about 10 or 11 i went looking for one first thing i found was a rookery so i climbed right up a big f#ck off tree and got a fledgling out of the nest took it home and kept it in the shed for about a month it got really tame so i got a bit cocky and walked out one day with it on my shoulder....................... f#cker flew straight off and never came back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
