I checked my 20 rat bait stations on Saturday six blocks in each station but not one single block of bait was gone perfect timing as the ground nesting birds (pheasant, quail and kingfisher are nesting now)
The quail are all marching round in pairs so they are up to something wish they would hurry up
I have got a couple of cats in the last few weeks a huge black bastard yesterday with golf balls between his legs I reckon one of them is worth ten rats the only problem with the holiday period coming is our lifestyle patch is on a highway and not far from a parking area that is not far from a beach resort hard to believe but some holiday makers take their cat on holiday and leave it at the parking area down on the highway but the cats seem to like Chef cat food when they get to my cage
I like the look of the chicks in the brooders I was going to purchase some but managed to get the natural process going well by killing predators
Good luck with your breeding programs guys fantastic that people are putting that sort of investment into the hunting environment
You need to mix something in that stops them from regurgitating, otherwise it doesn't work

There is this stuff that works wonders on cats, forgot the name off hand but can remember its about 40gr and made of lead :D
Kingfishers nest on the ground? Out of it!Quote:

Pretty sure all the ones round my lifestyle patch do Gibo but some may nest off the ground
I was at a neighbours place at home here in Te Puna on Sunday he has a low cut face bank beside his driveway riddled with holes and a pair of very watchful birds keeping an eye on me 20m away
I have an old rotten rock quarry on our patch the banks are riddled with maybe 50 years of nesters all my cut faces on farm tracks and our access road are riddled with holes
Lovely to walk past the holes when the chicks are hungry they are screaming for Mum and Dad to come back - just think how easy it would be for a predator to visit them down their hole
The small hole in the middle has recently been drilled you can see the fresh dirt in line with his feet

This hole shows Mum and Dads track marks in and out all day long

This big hole is one that has been exposed with slip or a machine cut shows how big the hole is inside maybe 200mm dia

I have three bait stations within 100m of most of the Kingfisher nesting activity I love Kotare and hate rats
Cool man! Learn something everday! :DQuote:

antifreeze smokes cats and dogs like crazy. they like the sweet smell of it, and its worse than rat poison Im told
Left a pen open after we had put clean sand into it for birds to go out tomorrow. Went out to put up feeders and waterers ready for the move early tomorrow while its cool to find one of the young hens we released in there with a brood of about 10 days old
When you have a fine bird god working the rough afore you, Gibo, you will make sense of the impossibly insensible:D:DQuote:
