rats in my aivery

[mickmck 716]

ive been getting my male harris down to flying weight after his molt , everything was going well then i started to notice his weight was taking some getting down , some days he was heavier than the dain the molty before and only gettin reduced feed , then the other day i heard him screaming and thought it was at the dog , but when i looked out the window i see him with a young rat in his feet , so its all become clear now why its been hard to get him down to weight . im now locking him in at night and have put a trap down , i wouldnt mind but i been paying £2.00 a rat while he was in the molt lol . just wandered if anyone else has had the same problem before , cheers mick

i had a pair of european eagle owls in an avery and was astonished at the amount of rabbit they were eating, until i went in to strim and found the foxs had dug an hole under the wire and were helping themselves

they say your only ever 10 foot away from a rat

that is true mate especially if you throw bread out for the birds or have a bird table in your garden

Got a few problems with them here at the moment, I suppose living in the country I have to expect it. each winter its a never ending war at this place not so much around the aviaries but around the chickens/sheds and the missus also has them going in the polytunnel now.

 

I have no other choice but to blitz them with poisen when in the areas above which is well away from the aviaries. when they're around the aviaries I use cage and selfset traps along the partition, I always have a few cage traps around the aviaries in the winter....
