buster 8789 64 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Why only last year I trapped a female golden eagle, I kept it in the trap and used it to call males in, got 3 in total. I then raided it's nest and sold the 4 eggs to bird dealers who incubated and successfully hatched them under parakeets. I made 1500 an egg..... The adult birds I sold for 3 grand a bird.... Now, if carslberg made posts to entice antis, they'd probably be the best posts in the world.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 give the lad a break ffs. so he mentions bird lime and everyone jumps down on him.you seen some of the daft shit posted on here. to answer your question mate,when i was a lad the guy across the road from me,was very good at stuffing birds and animals.he used bird lime, he made it from linseed oil.boiled it for ages. oh and like a silly c**t i had a go at it one sunday morning.went in my old mans shed looking for linseed oil,only thing i could find was putty,had linseed in it.so fired it in a pan and boiled it on the stove.Was bubbling away like porridge.laid it on the patio to cool,went out after a while to jar it up,well scooped my hand in the pot burst through the cold skin it had formed straight into red hot f*****g putty.which stuck to me like f*****g napalm.all my screaming and jumping about got my mum and dad out of bed and half the neighbours.trip to hospital and a very blistered sore hand.

Can you Point out in my retort where I give the kid this grief you mention? I even make pains to avoid aiming the carlsberg jibe at him by mentioning post instead of thread but alas as is the norm in today's culture someone feels grieved enough about it to write a complaint. Because of folk like yourself who get outraged at fuckall, our tv is full of shite and poofs but that's another subject. As for the kids thread, I couldn't care less what he wants to divulge on an open forum, it won't make a blind bit of difference to me. My sports already banned and Im not a moderator so batter in. As for you, stop being so sensitive and stop imagining people are trying to belittle others when they aren't. Now kind sir, if you could point me in the direction of this vagabond you mention regarding selling live rabbits, id like to exchange grammatic blows with the scumbag.....

Slightly different from you mate but i used to trap buzzards, not for any finacial value i just liked to eat them. I suppose it was inevitable that 1 day i would be caught and as i stood in court that day awaiting my sentence i wish i had thought about my answer to the judge for a little longer......just before passing judgement on me he asked "Just out of interest, what do they taste like?"........i said "Much better than Falcons your honour but not a patch on a Golden Eagle!!!!!".........

jimmy100 48 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I love songbirds imagine a world without them and how quiet it would be!!when i was a kid I used to tie a long piece of string to a wooden peg and balance a shopping basket on top on one side with loads of bread underneath and hide in the garage waiting for the birds to come. Then when they were confident of going under id pull the string and the basket would capture the birds! 9 out of 10 times it would be a sparrow but i caught many robins, blackbirds, blue tits, starlings etc but my best ever was a pair of yellow hammers!! Thinking back now that must of been atleast 20 yrs ago but i can still remember the excitement of catching them two cracking little birds in one go like it was yesterday! I also used to have a sparrow trap that id set before school and rush home after to check it and that was always a good way to catch them! It was a round net trap that when set was a half moon shape and you would but some bread on the scoop and when the bird pecked it it would release one side of the trap and catch the bird in the net! i used to let them all fly of unharmed and it was great fun for a kid!
