Come on fella's.
Give me a break. You haven't had a Mirkys Wild Animal Kingdom update for ages.

First the owls.

Well to be fair. Owls don't make good pets. You can take that from me.
Why?

Well after the initial love wears off you have a very demanding creature living with you. They are un-tamable. No matter how many times you get them sitting on your hand,feeding etc they never come round and act even slightly friendly.
It's weird because they get all shirty if you leave them alone as well. You can't win.

The house is like an abattoir. I go to the market every week buying any mice that die in the heat. All the dealers know me now and we have a laugh.
One woman sells little chickens. I asked her if I could buy any dead ones she gets. How strange. Since I said that her chic mortality rate seems to have gone through the roof.

Owls eat everything. Skin,bones the lot. What they can't digest they hawk up in pellet/ball form and gob out on the floor. They need to do this to clean their stomachs so you can't get away with feeding them nice things like chicken breast all the time.

Personalities.

Well, Porno's one Barney is a bastard. It hates my guts bad. Won't let me near him. He's had a growth spurt and is one mean mother now. I tried to get hold of him last week and he took a chunk out of my hand. He can get fucked now. I'm never touching him again and he might be going on my Mirkys re-introduction to the wild programme if he isn't careful. Porno loves him to bits though. He acts like a baby with her. He does give her a bite now and then but she thinks it's funny.

Ollie my one. Well he's a nasty bastard as well. Hisses and plays up when you go to pick him up. He's fine with me once I get him on my hand though. He hates Porno and won't let her near him. She's threatened to kill him quite a few times and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in the pot.
My one does look the nuts though. Never get fed up looking at him.

Chatuchak Market.

As I said. I'm down there every week and they know me.
The owl dealer had a real beauty the other day and Porno wanted to buy him. I said no as he was a big one. Thought we have enough on our plate.

I've seen things for sale there that nobody would believe. For the mad animals you need to go out the back. They won't put them on show. I think there are police issues. I'm not sure if it's legal here to sell birds of prey like they do.

Anyway, snakes,mad ridge back dogs, snapping turtles, lizards, Eagles, Squirrels, monkeys, Crocs, crows, fish, spiders and owls. They are all here. I don't know what it was but I saw a wonderful black and blue bird for sale this week. I've never seen anything so lovely. Poor fukka must have been trapped somewhere.

Porno bought two Japanese fighting fish. To cut a long story short we now have 12.
They look the nuts as well. All different colors and if you get their tanks too close they do have a row.

If all goes well this month with work and we move, I'm buying a really big aviary for the owls.
OK, it's fair to say in UK or USA owls shouldn't be kept as pets.
Thing is though this is LOS.

Their life was destined to be shit anyway. If a Thai fancies an owl or an Eagle he will just buy one and stick it in a cage. End of.
It gets fed what it's given and probably dies. I look at it like at least we are doing our best.

The bloke told me he normally sells to Chinese who want to eat Owls and Eagles to gain sexual prowess

Or young Thai lads who want to fight them against each other.

So, there you have it. Thought this video might give you an idea of what my apartment is like now.

It's not the owls that should be in a fucking cage

Update from Mirkys animal kingdom..........

I got back from Pattaya. Caught bus to Morchit bus station and popped up the road to Chatcuchak market. Had to buy the owls some dead mice.

It's been a bit quiet in the animal market lately. Some fella got bitten by a dog and died. The police have been having a clear up like they do in Mikes shopping mail and Tuk Com on fake clothes. All the mad animals are off limts and WWF did a damning report on illegal animal trade so not a lot for sale,

However, that all changed today. Business as usual.

Saw a cracking owl for sale. Really lovely. Wanted to buy him but held back. Only 600 baht. It was a type of Scops owl but different to one we have. I can say hand on heart Porno and I give owls a good home. We are both mental on them and give them 100% care. Feed them the right things, fly them and give them everything they need. They have good home here.

Saw 3 Hawk Eagels for sale and found out how to feed and take care of them. Spoke to Thai fella for ages. When we move to new condo I might consider getting one. Look the nuts. Bit scary. I feel a bit like that geezer in Kez film.

I know it's out of order owning birds of prey but I view it like this. They had bad karma falling into the hands of some Thai koont in a trap. Their life was fooked anyway. Living with us ain't a bad option.

Sorted an avery out for my two owls. Being built in next 2 weeks. Cost 5000 baht.

So, what did I see for sale today.

Really really lovely bird.

Asian Fairy Bluebird.
Got to be the most lovely bird I've ever seen.

Loads of squirrels. (Sorry to see them in cages)

Baby owls and baby parrots.

Snakes.

Lizards (big fukka's)

Spiders. (Yuk scared)

Cock fight in the pit. Looked horrific.

My Siamese Fighting fish are called Pla-Kad in Thai. Translation??? Fish bite

I can honestly say I love the pet scene here as much as the sex lark.

I had to laugh today. Everything in my condo either bites you, fights, fucks and costs money. Nothing nice here.

Loving it.

Haven't you got a fucking job to go to ?

I doubt it mate. I don't know for sure but most of the animals here are wild and not allowed to be sold. WWF and the like are always making protests about whats for sale in the market.

Thing is with Thai's they will never stop doing anything that earns money. The police do the usual sham once in a while then it's back to normal. Been going on years.

Saw a mega cock fight yesterday. Kids,girls,mums and dads all crowded round laughing.

They are a race of nutters.

Forgot to say.

I walked round the dog bit yesterday as well.

Kin ell. You can buy anything here. They had Huskey dogs for sale 12,000 baht. They would come in right handy out here wouldn't they?

German Shepard dogs, Rottweilers and Bulldogs. It's mental down there.

So you mean if people stopped buying the bloody things maybe they'd stop catching them?

Oh yeah I didn't think of that.
