KFC Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 It's a cockatiel not a dog..... Surely "who's a pretty boy then" would work far better! Sorry, wasn't thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger-Mouse Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Its Busby!!(you will know if your old enough) I had that as a nickname once (for a short time). I was working at a pub and I think I was doing the relief. Used the pub phone every night to call my girlfriend on her mobile and ran up a £200+ phonebill. Luckily for me the manager and the higher ups saw the funny side and I kept my job. Didn`t have to pay the bill either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 My suggestion is still looking the best option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 try another cockateil as a call bird in a larsen trap. We used to have a small bird trap for when birds escaped from our aviary, used another as a call bird, sometimes worked, sometimes did'nt. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four-wheel-drive Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 I must confess that I do not approve of keeping birds in cages but having said that I am pleased that you got it back as assuming that it is a tame bird it probably would not last long in the wild.

bigrob Posted July 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Thought it best if I stood on the bottom - just in case the ladder slipped. when she started up the ladder she cried a bit (she loves that bird!) that soon changed some pretty foul language (some aimed at me believe it or not?) she's a game old bird for a 69 year old.

flynny Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Good to here you got it back , my uncles escaped when I was a kid, it sat in a tree in the back garden for about 15 mins, That was until a jay knocked 10 bells out of it and killed it, "Who's a lucky boy then" "Who's a lucky boy then" Flynny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
