barrie0 Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Was out shooting pigeon yesterday , shot one that landed around 50 yards away under a tree . While I was sitting in the hide I had noticed a couple of squirrels milling about around the pigeon but did not think anything of it . About an hour later I went to pick up the pigeon and stretch the legs , when I got to it the little ******* had pulled out it's tail feathers and had started to gnaw on its wings , ie they had broken the skin and nibbled on what little meat there was on it . Never heard of this before as I thought they were veggies ? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Master Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Hi, Good man Jordan! The American tree rats steal our chicken eggs and will steal chicks. As much as the anti's would like you to believe it they are not vegetarian. THEY ARE CARNIVORES FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Predation on Birds eggs and Chicks is rife in the Grey squirrel community. Let em have it I say... Send em back to North Carolina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maori Haz Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Another of my reasons to blast the b*ggers out of the trees B) I hate 'em with a passion, shot 6 the other day with a mate of mine. MH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
