Torquemada 288 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 So, some rich fella has bought 4 so that he can get them breeding and have some on his estate. Problem is, in just a few day old foxy or possibly an otter has got one and made a nice breakfast out of it. One of you local lads need to offer your services for fox control, or work out some way of keeping them pesky otters away. Google it to find the story. Quote Link to post

neil cooney 10,416 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Happened in Dublin Zoo a few years back. A fox got in and killed some Flamingos . A few friends of mine were working on the Zoo extension at the time. Anyway's someone with a rifle took out the fox the next morning before the Zoo opened to the public. If it was me with the rifle I'd have got myself a trophy of some type too, . 2 Quote Link to post
cragman 2,788 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) A farmer friend had a peacock go missing a few years ago. I had a walk around and found feathers scattered on a rock pile. Terrier in, fox out, bang!? Edited April 15, 2016 by cragman 3 Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 When the lads I know were working in Dublin Zoo some b*****d broke in one night and threw some penguins into the lion enclosure. They said the lions didn't go near them. 1 Quote Link to post

Torquemada 288 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Got the wrong end of the stick, sorry. However, difficult to imagine flamingos proving dangerous to native species 1 Quote Link to post

However, difficult to imagine flamingos proving dangerous to native species No worries Torquemada - no , I don't imagine they'll multiply any , nor will we see flocks of them wading along the rivers and marshes of Somerset - the rest will no doubt be accounted for by Mr Fox !
