Im just having a mental laugh at you standing in the back yard swingling mice around by their tails to fling towards the hawk.

that`s not a mouse sor,that`s a tampon .sweets forgot to put her specs on.

YOU are such a instagater....And I always wear eye protection when I'm outside with them and special elbow length glove in hope that one day one will land on my arm. They watch my Cockatoo and Macaws in the summer being handled by me.. Sometimes I have a audience of 2 or 3 just watching me from the roof of the barn, when I'm outside training my inside birds !!! Got It???

so you cannot fool one of them there hawks with a tampon.go on try it.

Do you know any 97 year old women who still need them??? Those days are LONNNNNNNNNNG Gone !!!!

that exactly what i mean you don`t need em ,o ancient one.so use them for the hawks.
save killing them poor little mice.

Three little mice,
See how they run,
They all ran away from sweetybird,
Who cut off their balls with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life,
As three dead mice?

did you notice i changed the words a little bit.

No I don't throw the mice in the air !!! I only throw CHUNKS of raw meat into the air ie: pot roast or roast beef BUT,, I nail the TAILS of the mice to a platform where I feed them !!! The hawks take the mouse off the platform with one swoop. They bite so hard that they snap their tails with one bite, They know the mouse is nailed there. Half the time they try getting to it before I have a chance to climb down off the ladder.. LOL impatient little sh*ts they are!!

did you throw ants in spider webs as a child??

heh..

and If the hawks are "watching" you working your indoor birds... I'm guessing they see lunch on the wing...bright colors are attracting them.....try spray painting a chihuahwa orange and see how long it lasts..heh

Do I have to tell the truth?? Yes I did throw ants and fly's into the webs.. Hey! they have to eat too!! And yes the hawks watch me all the time winter & summer. And yes I MUST becareful with the parrots. They have a custom made outdoor aviary made out of steel so no other animals can get to them..And my Chihuahwa is 3.2 lbs. and I MUST Watch her very close..Not only can and will the hawk take her away the coyotes here are worse. twice this year already I had to fire off a couple of rounds OVER their heads so they would leave my yard and she can go out to do her business. Ahhhhhhh the joy's of country living !!! At least I have NO GANGBANGERS out here ! My worse fear is losing a animal to another animal and not a punk...
