    I think you're right. Hen in tow and that t-shirt seemed to press his buttons!

    My boy doesn't seem to have much luck with animals. We passed through a field of cows on the way to the beach this morning. He was carrying an orange football. The normally passive cows went mental. He got properly charged. Luckily, he dropped the ball. They were stomping and chewing on it as we made our retreat, never seen anything like it!

    Probably best if you steer him away from any career related to wildlife documentaries.

    oh come on...where is the fun in that,the lad could make a fortune with multiple utube sensations going viral.... he might even be the ultimate waterfowler decoy.....couple of water wings and into the pond he goes......might need a full wetsuit to combat the cold,but if it brings in the ducks....

    Stealing ducks and ducklings as a kid saw a full on attack from mum. We’d run, with the spoils, as fast as our little legs would go. Use to have pet ducks, they’d sleep in a mail box in our bedroom.

    I think it's quite entertaining how birds can be so aggressive relative to their size vs whatever it is they are being aggressive towards. Hard case seeing a spur wing plover holding off a whole herd of 500 nosey dairy cows .
    Sri Lankan fella that works for us developed a fear of going to a certain paddock because of "the eagle"
    I was sure we had something lost in translation when he told me about the eagle that kept attacking him whenever he went into that paddock and then I met "the eagle" myself one day, granted it was very aggressive and could be seen as quite intimidating but it was also just a bloody magpie lol

    Birds are modern day dinosaurs. I have no problems shooting them. In contrast, I have some empathy for the mammals I hunt.
