Guest IB Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 I saw my first & only bloodbath after a visit by a cat on my dad's birds when I was around 11 years old - 49 years later still never really forgotten it, so will be even more of a shock for the young fella. Hoping your luck changes soon for the better, my friends, just a wee bit too much of the bad stuff happening to you and young Jack for my liking.
paddymac Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 micko sorry to hear that, first of all your health and then jacks birds being attacked, really feel sorry for you both mo chara. Try putting carpet rods on the fence, that hopefully should solve the problem if not get yourselve a trap and remove the problem out of town.

Guest lenwadebob Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Hang on in there Mick - you know what you told me only a few days ago Sometimes life can be very cruel, especially for young Jack, but he will learn to be more aware of life's pitfalls and be a better man for it. I hope your health improves very soon and you have a Great Xmas with your family and life brings you better luck in 2010. May God bless you my friends.
