    do they eat your flowers or something?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,674 ✭✭✭Teutorix

    they dig up the soil around them looking for food ie.worms

    Do they dig? I've had two on different occasions in my backgarden. I live near enough to a park, where they might chill out with their other animal friends, but how did they get out of the park, across a busy enough road and over/under my garden walls?! :O

    Agreed. A fcuking blackbird flew into the side of my head while I was cycling to school once and my being the nice guy I am I picked it up and cycled about 10 mins out of my way to bring it to a bird sanctuary place.

    I think they are they just don't show it as much as we do. For example today one of my friends said " Cathy likes screwing things" and this was completely outt of character for her, I ended up getting a slap for it because I laughed aswell.
