No it was the owl singing along to it that tipped me over the edge

Mirky's animal kingdom............

Just because I've been a bit quiet on the animal front don't think I've not been bang on it.

Went to Chatuchak market last Saturday to buy the owls a new home. Cost me nearly 4000 baht but they are well happy now. Bought them a nice cage with loft area. They hide in there most of the time all happy.

Siamese fighting fish doing well. As most of the Thai breeders know me at market I've been offered 'special' animals.

First on the list is 100% true blooded Siam fighting fish. They are a bit different from what you see on the stalls. These fish are 500 baht each as opposed to 5-50 baht each. Bit dull in colour but they are the original Siam fish. Show winners and boy can they have a scrap. You only see these now and again and I feel privileged to have been offered the best at the market. Once payday arrives I'll be buying a couple for sure. We have fish in every room now. Cracking looking and badly violent. As soon as they see another one BANG. Thai. As usual nutty.

Birds.....

Well you know me. I've got my heart set on an eagle or big bird of prey.
I won't just get one. I've done my homework. I was member of YOC when I was a kid and loved birds of prey. I have more of an idea than a newbie. The thing is with birds of prey if you get it wrong they die instantly. The whole thing is a mega hobby for me and Porno. We love them to bits. All the going to market buying food. We are partners in it all the way. Love it.

I've got plenty of room now. Balcony is going to be housing the hawk. I'll set everything up first. I'm planning on flying and training one properly. Been reading falconers websites and courses.

I've learnt you have to get a hawk from a baby or you will never be able to tame one. Last week I went through all the feeding lark and having one on my arm. Fookin claws are sharp. They are big bastards as well.

Been offered about 4 different ones around 4000 baht.

I know it's mental having all these nutty animals but I've decided something. This whole thing is a once in a lifetime experience. The chances if me getting a yuppie job and living in LOS were a million to one. Lets be honest.

It's a fucking mad place and I'm filling my boots. I'm living with a bi sexual sex addict and if I wake up in the morning and want to buy an eagle I'm going for it.


One day I'll be on that deathbed waiting for them to switch off machine.

I fucking won't be wondering ' What if '

I've made a safety plan should I lose my job. Porno's nephew Nong Arm is a little bastard. He's about 14 and loves owls,hawks and fighting fish. Should I got bullet from work I'm paying him to take care of anything I buy. He's happy with that and as he's a natural with hunting animals I feel fine.

Ollie and Barney.

Last but not least on the list is an Asian Fairy Bluebird.
We are going to buy one with a posh fancy cage. Got the dealer sorted. Cost of bird is 1200 baht. Cage 3000 baht.
Not difficult to take care of. Easy peasy compared to birds of prey.


Just to close. If any of you are ever in a position to own/buy a bird of prey then go for it. I've never experienced anything as good as owning one. Hard work but worth it. I'd be gutted not getting up early sorting the food etc.

Loving it. The animal part is easily as good as the shagging sluts for me.

Scurrying across a snow-covered field, the tiny meadow vole made hardly a sound.
But the Great Grey Owl heard it anyway - and swooped.
The huge bird's flat face acts like a radar dish, directing even the faintest noise towards its ears. So even if its prey had been a foot under the surface of the snow, its fate would still have been sealed....








The owl had been perched in a tree overlooking the field in Bobcaygeon, Ontario, Canada, as temperatures plummeted to -15C.
Photographer Jody Melanson, 47, travelled an hour to the area to get pictures after receiving a tip-off that the Great Grey Owl was there.
He said: 'I found the owl after five minutes of searching. He was sitting in a tree hunting.
'When he heard something edible he swooped down and grabbed the vole.




'Great Grey Owls can hear prey a foot below the snow. The owls face is shaped like a radar dish and they use their ears to pinpoint the prey's location.
'There is no chase. The owl hears, silently swoops in and pounces on the prey. The owl seldom misses.'
Great Grey Owls live across the North American continent. Adults have a big, rounded head with a grey face and yellow eyes.
They eat mostly small rodents, with voles being their most important food source.

Chatuchak Market.............

I had to go and get the owls some dead mice today.

Loads of red shirts about. Driving up and down waving flags. Army was on the bridges stopping them going up there. Looked like turning nasty.

Did my 2nd favorite pastime in LOS. Walked round pet market.

What did we see for sale?

3 baby owls. Spotted owlets. I wanted one. Saw the mum. Looks like Barn owl. Big and white. Was mulling it over walking round. To buy or not to buy?

Saw another 2 of those Fairy Bluebirds for sale. They really are lovely. Trouble is they don't really do anything. Just sit in cage. They don't bite or swoop down on you at night. Bit boring.

Next had a shock. Massive great scorpions???? Who would buy those? Big black fukka's with monster claws.

Husky dogs.

Lizards.

A woodpecker.

Some type of Kingfisher.

4 Eagles. Funny story really. You know how hawks sort of sit with their mouths open all the time?

I saw this cracking baby hawk for sale. It was sitting on top of a cage with it's mouth open. Next to it was some other bird in a cage and the hawk kept stoving it in with it's open beak. Really mullering it but nobody took any notice.

Got to admit I saw how all these animals are transported. Jesus.
All just lobbed together in box on back of motorbike. Honestly, I know some say I shouldn't have pet owls and stuff but I promise you the best thing that could ever happen to any animal there is to come and live with us.

Tortoises. I fancy one coz you can't get them in UK.
Stems from me being Blue Peter fan I think.

Loads of fish stuck in placcy bags in the sun.

Poor squirrels stuck in cages in boiling heat.

I had the chance to go to Pattaya today and knocked it back to go to market. I like it better.

Why don't you lot have a detour next trip for a day? It's mega.

Can someone close the board down again please

[Mirkwood]

Can someone close the board down again please

It must be horrible being you.
If you can't drink or fuck it something has no interest to you.

I bet your mum never let you have a dog when you were a kid, right?

Owl Sanctuary..

[Mirkwood]

Come on then.

Lets fucking get it over with.


Update........

Came home early from work yesterday and decided to clean the owls out.

I've got two owl box's on top of the kitchen cupboards. I get them out of their cage and they fly up there and sit.

It was all going to plan. Next thing I know my owl Ollie. Goes and flies back in the cage. I get him out again and he flies back to the box on top of cupboard.

That was the last time I saw him.

Fuck knows what happened or where he went. It's a mystery.
I thought he was hiding under the table or something. I looked everywhere, behind cupboards,under beds, all the usual places he hides. After 3 hours gave up the ghost.

What happened to him? I honestly hand on heart could not tell you.

There was a gap of maybe two inches in one of the windows but that was it. He must have squeezed out of there. If it wasn't that I don't know.

Porno got home and was banjaxed. Proper. Couldn't sleep. Bad dreams the works. Barney the other owl was going ting tong all night as well.

Knew what had to be done. Went to Chatuchak market after work and bought Ollie 3.

Spotted owl this time. Baby one. Pictures to follow. She loves him mega already.



You won't believe this. I know that before I start.

Today I went out to get my hair cut. I'd left the condo doors open and walked in to find owl cage door wide open?????? Barney could have flown out anytime he wanted.

No way has anyone been in here. I didn't open it.

Something strange happening here.

Every fukka keeps telling me owl bring ghosts to your house thats why Thai's dont like them.

There you have it. Take it or leave it.
