Whilst cruising around the internet today, during the quiet times in the shop (yes, I've done the dusting, made the coffee etc!), I came across 2 items on birds.

When I heard this item on Radio 4 this morning, there was mention of a number of possible hazards which could cut short a long and happy life. To accustom them to natural predators, a stuffed fox will be placed in their cage. Speaking as the mother of a soldier who was once stationed in that area, I would have thought that the biggest threat would come, not from foxes but from Homo Sapiens Armius! How about a cardboard cutout of a squaddie in the cage? Oh well, just a thought.....
