Probably something I’ve done in the past. I used to give it every day of the week.

Re: for Andy

The second eye is better than the first. The first one has a full inner circle that is fairly wide. The circle of colouration is a yellow it can be seen under the iris but the iris is still quite full. The second one has a much stronger inner circle. Wide and deep. Green colouration with dark shadin...

Re: Using Garlic

I use the one with the mother in. I use the ones made for poultry as I can get it at wholesale price from my suppliers. You could make a quid there, Andy. Get a 1000 litre pelican of it at, whatever it costs in pounds, put it in 1 and 5 and 10 litre containers, think of a catchy name.... Boom. :D 👍🙂🙂

Re: Buzzards

What is a 'buzzard', Andy? I am not sure what the equivalent is here. The closest I can see from the interweb is the kite, which is a bin chicken. They hover in huge numbers over rubbish dumps. The Buzzard is a large eagle type bird. We have lots down this way. They have very large wings and spend ...

Re: Todays weather.

Wet and windy here this morning. Cold.

Animals do react in different ways to storms, just like people do. Our old dog hated it and also hated fireworks going off. Our other one doesn’t take any notice.

Buzzards

I had the birds out for only the second time since the end of October today. I let them out at 7.30 this morning and left them on open loft all day. I have decided that this is what I am going to do most of the time this year. What I will do different though is rather than letting the youngsters out...

Re: Using Garlic

I also give them Apple cider vinegar every second day during the week, at a rate of 10 mls in 3 litres of water. It's important, I think not to make it so strong that they start drinking less, especially in the hot weather. They seem to like the taste at that sort of strength, but it's a bit of tri...
