Peregrines and water

[Delboy]

Am I correct in saying Peregrines do not drink very much and rely on fluid from their kills for hydration ?

[Guest JPH]

somit like that

[PATTY BHOY]

yes, they will drink water two or three times a year,if needed  but the above is true >

[Roland]

True. That's why salt depresses them to say the least. Use to pour salt on any carrion. hence the demise of of the B.O.P and co etc.

i have never seen one drinking from a stream or puddle but the way things are going with peregrine strikes they can survive on blood .............

a glass of strong salty water would depress you to roly

 

 

[Guest spin cycle]

i'm amazed this is true. i would've thought that it would put a big strain on the liver to get enough water out of blood etc.

[Guest JPH]

blood 90% water anyway

seawater is 97% water..but that can't be drank because ( i think) it  attracts water out of tissue by osmosis so dehydrating the drinker...i may be wrong . i don't doubt it's not true about the peregrine...but the blood going in would have same osmotic potential as the body and therefore the liver  would come under strain lowering it so that it could be absorbed...perhaps i'm b**ls****ing.....time to 'rehydrate' with some lager (evil)

yip salty water will do you in  . blood is not full of sodium and there system works different from ours,

Salt is not good for BOP but it is good for Pigeon Fanciers when the BOP consume it.

Well it's not one of the three wonders of nature. Which are, A. A hen drinks water, but doesn't pee.

B. A rabbit doesn't drink water - captive ones ommitted of course be cause on they inviroment we keep them in - but does pee. And C. a donkey s$its a square turd out of a round ar$ehole   ;D ;D ;D ;D

But many predators do not drink water ...

Not drinking water means B.O.P can't combat the effects of salt. Thanks to the RSPB and RSPCA for enlightening us and bringing back past paerts.

Mind one must remember, and many don't realise that Peregrines will readily take carrion. Especially when feeding over laden nests. Have had this also confirmed by a very good and reliable sauce.

[dazza]

Roland can you reveal your sauce - was it regae regae?
