OK it's dead now, so I can say that technically crows are vermin and will probably be shot by the nearest farmer or airgun enthusiast. Its demise has not hastened the end of a great songbird species etc unlike, say, <insert rare British songbird here>. Relax, you'll forget about it tomorrow.

 

or a horse

 

.....or a Pyscotic sparrow with a sledge hammer ala Stephen King's "misery"

 

Lyn, you wouldn't feel so charitable if you see what crows usually eat. I stood and watched in amazement once as a single crow perched on the edge of a songbirds nest and wolfed down 5 or 6 baby chicks one after another.

It was amazing, sort of like how a pelican eats a fish, it just picked each one up, flicked its head back and gulped it down in one go.

They do that to any nests they find. Horrible creatures crows.

Next time stamp on its head.

 

ajm, rarely do you sound like a complete ranting idiot, but then I guess there's a first time for everything. No one knows how it became injured, and lets face it, your shooting buddies probably blast them to bits for fun anyhow

 

should have killed it when I told you to. now the little bird died of a slow painful death.

 

I can't kill anything Ray, couldn't bring myself to do it

 

well u are wrong, and dont know where u are getting it from

If it's good enough for American soldiers, it must be good enough for crows?

 

B2Z in sense of humour shocker!

 

lol well thats different u see and it has to be a very sharp one, the blunt ones are cruel, wouldnt even use them on my enemies, a war killing has to be least painful and quick, in my book anyway. their human beings, u dont want them enemies to suffer

 

I can't believe you put dettol on it's feet..

You'll be feeding horses some "lovelly yellow flowers" that you saw by the roadside "cos they looked tasty and the horses looked hungry" next..

Ragwort? Nah not that daft

 

People are learning. I could have done it in less than three posts though.

 

put some olive oil on its feet lynne if u can and maybe get a frozen mouse to feed it a lil pinkie mouse.


and also aloe vera gel is good for them,they use it on all birds of prey

 

Bit late Moses.... it's brown bread mate! LOL!

 

Yea, but moses is preparing it for a kebab....

 

ok then

 

Yea, but moses is preparing it for a kebab....

 

ajm in ignore posts where cats are involved shocker, one day perhaps

Even though a cat was probably not the culprit

Or, ajm in ignore previous posts from Jye shocker, where he didnt have a witty answer that is

 

lol @ the dettol

dettol death of the dark crow

 

That surely would be a cold day in hell!

Jye in attention deficit disorder shocker!

 

Lynne.

Did you dilute the Dettol, or put it on neat?

 

Wakey wakey Neil

 

Ah yes I forgot that amoungst all the crowing at each other.

For future reference i've found this http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:L...rt+birds&hl=en which may well save the lives of other birds you come across.

I'm not surprised it died. The pain inflicted on it, even by diluted dettol would have sent it's poor system into shock.

 

You want to be careful, if you had the dog with you at the time you found the bird it might be classed as "Hunting with Hounds"!

 

By the Barbaric Bird Butcher of Liverpool!

 

yeah - pull its feathers out, cover it with shortcrust pastry ond stick it in the oven for 2 hours at gas mark 4

 

get yourself another 23 Lynne and you can have a pie
