He would definitely have been making hand motions as if feeding chooks when he said it.

I would like to see the video or photos. Crock of shit.

Convenient Crock of shit...given it was 2013...the law of averages says that it could happen....

Just like Possums eating Thrush fledglings with his mate, a Rat on a convenient branch ....in a photographic studio......turned into posters & pasted all around this country of ours...

Insinuating that all possums eat native eggs & fledglings all the time.....everyone.....every night....

No, it is a strange but true fact that deer will eat chicks to get the nutrients they need for antler growth.

Gee, after 60 years of hunting it's the first time I've heard that.
