Topgunners Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Had an interesting conversation yesterday with one of my farmer's, and he reckons due to this Totally unseasonal weather the longer than usual period of time that the pigeons are staying up in the trees eating the acorns is KILLING them all off. What are your feelings on this and are there any more than usual dead pigeons being found in your areas.? Dave K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave K I've heard of quite a few dieing off, but its always the same when they munch too many Acorns, happened, two years ago and 8 years before. They'll be back, unless its bird flu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Master Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 youngshot told me they had found a load of dead pigeons with their crops full of acorns and that acorns are mildly poisonous. Perhaps we shouldn't have peeled a load at school and fed them to my veggie friend. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Master Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 He was told they were pistachio nuts... I found him spewing around 5 half chewed (but peeled) acorns into the sink in the toilets. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
