A friend posted this picture to my site and I think it would bring a whole new meaning to falconry.......

Actually, it's a Pygmy Vampyre Falconet.

Used to fly a cast. The male goes at about 30g and the female at 40g.

They're the ideal bird for indoor falconry and, if well keen, can take large moths. The only real problem is that they're ******s for carrying & bloody difficult to get out from under the sofa (the hoover seems a bit extreme!).

Anyway, must go now. Got to train a gerbil to point & flush.

Can anyone identify this bird?

Yes, it's a dead one.

My mum took this picture last week in her garden. She caught the bird gorging all the food on her bird table. She tried to 'shoo' it away, but it snarled at her............as per picture.................

........she said........"So I blew it's Fu**ing head off with my .357"

:lol: :lol: :lol:

good ole mum.

This is the only Hillbilly joke I know

Two Indians and a Tennessee Hillbilly were walking in the woods, all of a sudden one of the Indians ran up a hill to the mouth of a small cave. "Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!" he called into the cave and then he listened very closely until he heard an answering, "Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!" He tore off his clothes and ran into the cave.

The Hillbilly was puzzled and asked the other Indian what that was all about. Was the other Indian crazy or what? "No," said the Indian. "It is our custom during mating season when Indian men see cave, they call 'Wooooo Wooooo! Wooooo!' into the opening. If they get an answer back, it means there is a girl in there waiting to mate."

Just then they saw another cave. The second Indian ran up to the opening of the cave, stopped, and hollered, "Woooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!" Immediately, there was an answering "Wooooo!Wooooo! Wooooo!" from deep inside the cave. He tore off his clothes and ran into the cave.

The Hillbilly wandered around in the woods alone for a while, and then he came upon a great big cave. As he looked in, he was amazed at the size of the huge opening, and thought, "Oh, man! Look at the size of this cave! It's bigger than those small holes them Indians found. There must be some really big,fine women in this cave!"

So, he stood in front of the opening and hollered with all his might "Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!" He grinned and closed his eyes in anticipation, and then he heard the answering call, "WOOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOO!"

With a gleam in his eyes and a smile on his face, he raced into the cave, tearing off his clothes as he ran.
