Ok, so.....

[julesapple]

.....having quiet bath when the daughter walks in with this



I would have preferred flowers or possibly wine.....

Thankfully, it isn't staying long.

[Jeanied]

Ere, it's fun in your house Jules. Never a dull moment it seems!

[Two_Sheds]

How did she catch that and not lose an eye?

[julesapple]

Sometimes I wish there was.
Stupidly, we have a bird of prey. When he's in the garden the same daughter has a missy fit because the gulls like to dive bomb him. So she takes him out, lets him go and he eats seagulls for a snack. She can't bring herself to do 'it' now she's up close and personal and this one's injured (not sporting, to neck it really) so it's here, in the garage, eating my mog food, until the animal rescue centre collects it tomorrow.


This gull looks at me in far too gimletty a way.....I've seen Huxley Pig, it's not supposed to look at you like that.

[julesapple]

TS, she has a knack. And blind ignorance, she'll walk up to anything. She's not even 5t tall, built like a twig.

I've seen her wrestle Llamas. These thing know when they're beaten. A freakin' woolly mammoth wouldn't stand a chance....

Can't you get a lock on that door?

You got a BoP how did I miss that?
What you got jules and can I borrow it for seagulls around here?

[julesapple]

We've got one of these...or the DD has



Jakk...the Harris Hawk

[cardiffsteve]

He's cool.
I jealous

[julesapple]

That's DD's cuddly baby......I kid you not.

[Vince G]

They're magnificent. There's a guy comes to our office and flies his Harris Hawk on the roof to scare off the gulls. We've got a nice lawn on the roof of the office (pic below) and people couldn't sit out at lunchtime in the summer as they kept getting divebombed by gulls.

[Florence Fennel]

I've been wondering what a BoP was for the last couple of days, so thanks Jules. Your DD must be destined to work with wildlife.

[Two_Sheds]

Jakk is extremely cool. Does he "do" pigeons too?

[alldigging]

Would he like to come and eat some Oldham pigeons?
(I could sell tickets!!!)

[julesapple]

He got very excited last night - he could smell the injured seagull (now thankfully collected) and thought the DD was going to let him eat it. If it had been more badly injured than it was I think she would have dispatched & frozen it for him.

Jakk 'does' pigeons and crows, rats, rabbits......he's not speciesist.
