    Bird Rescue. Does it Help?

    Hi Peter. I think it's all a hoax as well. It was something brought up in the discussion I had with the anti-starling people. I suppose it was their sick wishful thinking. Crazy Americans! Wish I could figure out how to attach pictures here. The message I get is they are too large to...

    Bird Rescue. Does it Help?

    My pulled posts concerning the spraying of roosting starling flocks was not at BF. It was at another site that I quit years ago because of their evil views toward some bird species. :C I suppose I felt my blood pressure was too low and therefor I went to the site to see what they were up...

    Bird Rescue. Does it Help?

    Hi Cathy. My Aunt lives in Leeds. She has not shared any recipes for squirrel stew or starling soup. :-O The Internet is a wonderful thing. But one needs to remember that just because something appears on the Internet that does not make the information true. That is probably how the...

    Bird Rescue. Does it Help?

    There does not seem to be a middle ground with the bluebird people from the posts I have read. Yes, you are right. The house sparrow / starling vs. the whole of creation debate usually gets vicious from both sides. I am in a discussion about starlings with some very anti-starling and...

    Bird Rescue. Does it Help?

    Hi Bill. Sorry about the sparrow species question mix up. My question wasn't well presented. Thanks for clearing up my confusion. (Well, at least that part of my over all confusion.) That is a very good link you gave me. Thank you! I personally could not imagine capturing "millions" of...

    Bird Rescue. Does it Help?

    Hi Katy. :hi: I thought they could interbreed but I dunno. :h?: Interesting ( x 13 ) that you say the House Sparrow is in decline in the USA. There is one forum elsewhere that hates them because they move into bluebird boxes ... yadda, yadda, yadda.... I won't go into the horrid details...

    Bird Rescue. Does it Help?

    Hi there Bill, Pam and Sue. Thanks Bill for setting me straight on the UK and US sparrow / finch species. Hmmmmmm........... For some reason I was under the impression that the US house sparrows were imported and released from the UK many moons ago and I thought that they may still be able to...

    Bird Rescue. Does it Help?

    Hi Peter and Andy. Thank you for your replies and information. :brains: I did not know that the UK sparrows were aggressive, although I know the House Sparrows here (another import) apparently raid the bluebird nests too. ~~SIGH~~ Seems like lots of things raid not only the bluebirds but...

    Bird Rescue. Does it Help?

    Hi Cathy and may I add a thanks to you for your comments about this. Everyone here seems to be of a like reasoning on this topic. :-O Funny you should mention mice. Two years ago a neighbour called me frantic that there was "something" in her garage and could I come help? I went over to...

    Bird Rescue. Does it Help?

    Hi again everyone. :flowers: Someone has to be at the bottom of the favourite bird list, now don't they? Personally I cringe when I see the arrival of the Common Grackles (Quiscalus quiscula) here in spring. They raid nests, steal eggs, steal chicks or sometimes just peck chicks or adult...

    Bird Rescue. Does it Help?

    Hi everyone. :hi: Sorry but I'm thinking this may be a long post. Hope it makes sense by the end. ((Kinda creepy to be the only one here too as it is very early in the AM for most of you.)) So here it goes.... :scribe: There are several groups here, as well as individuals, who will care...
