few of my mates i work with have birds of prey they hunt with there's most use harris hawks there big enough to take a rabbit or pheasant and say keeping them is quiet easy the most important thing is their wieght to heavy cant fly or won't just sit in a tree and to thin not enough energy to make a kill fine line between starvation and peak fitness they fly them all year but scare the bejeasus out of me saw one of them grab my mate on his hand with no glove and it took him nearly an hour to get it off wouldn't let go if it could feel any movement in his hand and just locked its talons into his hand nasty fu----r think he must of fed it a weeks food trying to get off i'd of killed the thing but he's still got the same bird and a scar to boot any how good luck and get a good pair of gloves mate

You'll be fine with a pair of pink marigolds Dave, they'll look the part and give you all the protection you need

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

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.
