Oddest thing you have found in your garden.

Pensivepuca

My mum told me "there is a parrot in the tree" so I laughed at her, went out into the garden and low and behold, a yellow/green budgie.

I took two photo's when it came into the garden and watched it fly about, tried tempting it down with seeds, but no luck.
No doubts its gonna end up dead by a cat, magpie or starvation sadly.

So, has anyone else found odd things in the garden?

beeroclock

I found myself asleep out there once after one too many and they dont come odder than me

moneyman

Is it just accepted that people find odd things in their gardens now?

Rabbo

Is it now so hot that tropical birds are migrating here?

nocoverart

A half onion.

Soon it's gonna be flying onions.

I found God in my back garden. Insisted on taking charge of the barbeque so I told him to bugger off.

Mariasofia

Found my neighbour out there once with binoculars. He's very odd.

Can I have your burger please- there's one left over- there's a napkin over it right now so you mightn't know it's there- just left of the white wine bottle -please?

The Backwards Man

Three gnomes.

Little cute parrot, is he lost from somewhere? Have you tried handling him?

Hownowcow

My dog once found a hedgehog.

I'm not sure which one of them we rescued.

We tried getting close but he flew off to the Oak tree, then we tried tempting him with food/seeds, no luck.

I put the photo in the "Lost and Found Pets" section on boards and might tell the neighbours.

Aw he must be delighted with the freedom to fly around

Maybe he'll mate with a magpie or something and introduce a new species

Dear God, a budgie magpie mix would be terrifying

Magpies are very handsome! They'd make a lovely couple

Pensivepuca

Indeed they can be handsome, but picture the noise!

Menas

A frog. We live about 1km from the nearest stream so i presume a bird dropped him. He lived there for a week until we evicted him.

Boscoirl

A grenade, it was all rusty

Lapin

A snowman.

Mick Murdock

My auld fella. He was in Dublin for the day at a rugby match.

I came home from work about half 4 in the morn and found him flat out in the garden.

Never told him actually. His clothes were destroyed but he never let on.

It’s the parrot/onion hybrid that worries me …

It is unseasonal weather- I'll give ya that.

SV

Found a tire in it once and a wheelie bin, neither were mine.


I kept them anyway cos I'm a stand up guy like that and I couldn't turn down such a sweet offer!

Micky Dolenz

A few years back, I found a half drunk naked guy tied to a tree in my lawn. Some prank his college mates pulled on him.

Cedrus

A Ferret.

Twice.

The dogs didn't see her the first time, but I doubt she'll be back after they pinned her behind the compost bin the second time.

Mariasofia

I in all seriousness found my brother sitting in my kitchen drinking tea and eating a ham and cheese toastie ! I had gone to bed earlier, pissed as a coot and had left the front door open. He on his way home from a night out just walked right in......

That would be perfect in a "Oddest thing I have found in my kitchen" thread

Just thought it was slightly related.....my kitchen door being right next to the back garden an' all:)

Same. Found the biggest ass hedgehog I've ever seen out there.

Had to beat the dog with the sweeping brush to get him off. Let the poor guy go in a field next door.

My dod used to bring a hedgehog into his bed. There were a nest of them under the shed. I didnt find it odd cos it happened a lot :pac:

Derpington95

I'm just waiting for someone to put a picture of a safe up so we have another escapade like last time :rolleyes: :pac:

Ms. Pingui

I found a massive red parrot in the yard at work before. I've never seen 0anything look so out of place before. We managed to find its owner through the local radio station in the end.

Really. Did they not have a problem with each other?

My dog went nuts when he found the hedgehog. I think the fact that it didn't run away and he couldn't pick it up really got to him. You want to have heard the howls out of him!

The little hedgehog was in a ball and I didnt realise what it was for a second. Doggie just had him in his mouth and left him in the bed with a big "look what I got you" look

It seemed to turn into a night time game for them, Id leave the hedgehog out then and give him food so he knew what was coming

'twas a Summers night a bit like tonight when I was returning home from my local tavern after consuming many an ale.

The moonlight lit up her pale skin and the stream of her piss on my fcuking driveway.

"What the fuck are you looking at ? " said the fair maiden.

"Get the **** out of my drive way " said I.

Then I noticed her friend ... a behemoth female. "She has to go to toileth "

I said."Thank God its her , and not you for then we'd have another giant moon in Finglas tonight"

aujopimur

I found what I thought was a piece of pipe sticking out of the ground in the garden of a new house I'd bought, further digging revealed a wheelbarrow full of hardened concrete.

Ihatecuddles-old

When I was about 14 there would be a gnome put in our back garden every couple of weeks. My parents got security lights and an alarm fitted after the 3rd gnome appearance. We must have gotten about 8 gnomes out of it.

I met my boyfriend on a dating site, his profile picture was him with a gnome....he only lives down the road from my parents. Completely irrelevant but I was a bit worried he was the crazy gnome guy.

policarp

False teeth.
And no one ever claimed them. . .

MickFleetwood

The corpse of Jimi Hendrix.

They probably got in your garden by themselves.

Two slugs, going at it

A horse maybe a pony one or the other

Galwayguy35

Found a fox in the process of killing a rat one night in the back garden, other times a deer would appear around the place as well to eat some of the grass, there is a forest just behind my back garden so sometimes the local wildlife comes to visit.

When I was about 10 I found an egg on the lawn. It was kind of bluish and made from stone, possibly marble and about the size and shape of a standard hens egg. It had a small sticker with 'made in Italy' on it. No-one could explain how it had gotten there and it's still lying around the house somewhere.

Aglomerado

A cooked sausage. In winter, so it wasn't as a result of a barbeque.
No idea how it got there.

My Great Aunt had two of those, she kept chickens and an Uncle brought them back to her from Rome!! Strange gift but she treasured them!

But on to my own garden surprise!! A large bag, about the size of a bag of sugar, of a very pungent herb that I understand is very popular with the young folks!! A neighbour offered to take it off my hands! Can only think it got fecked behind my garden wall in haste!! Circa 2002 so don't get excited...it's long gone!!
