I now have two birds in my garden:

Recently GB08 L 04810 and a month ago GB07 L 49320.

I am looking after them and may give them to one of your Forum Members who I have been chatting to.  The former one is quite tame but the latter isn't very.  I have called them Walter and Wilbur (not sure of their sex).  I did catch the new one - accidentally in my home made trap, but I haven't anybody to give it to and I need to trap the other one so I let it go, but at least my trap worked.  I hope I don't get any more - two is enough for me........and I get the neighbour's cat in and I have a resident blackbird!!!!

Regards

Spencer

Is the 08 bird wing stamped, I am near sure this bird belongs to a member of Larne and dist N Ireland, regards.

I will have to catch it again to find out.  Not always easy.

were are you based Gadgetgezzer?, cheers

I am near to Fareham Hampshire, off Junction 9 of the M27.

spencer have you tried to contact the owner's of the birds as they will need to be transfered or collected by them if they permit you to rehome the birds you need transfer papers

But good of you to take care of the birds have you seen the pigeon in my kitchen thread by david it's a great story maybe you could keep the birds and join the fancy

If the 07 bird has been with you a month have you not reported it previously?

Phil

What a question!!!  Of course I reported it.  The owner had supposedly passed away and I talked to a chap who had taken it on.  He said it might return if I fed it since it was in a bad way which I did, but it never went and seems to depend upon me.  I have worked hard with these birds, trying to get them on their way and it has cost me in food.  I have also been PM'ing one of the forum members and she would take it off my hands since she is close by.  Unfortunately, I think she is on holiday.

gadgetgeezer im holiday but im here let me know when you are in and i come and pick them up for you

Gadgetgezzer can you please pm me your contact details as i know who owns
GB 08 L 04810, regards.
