Since 1st April, 1 pigeon and 1 Seagull. Pigeon with a tyre, no damage (except to the very burst and flattened pigeon). Seagull with my CB aerial, no damage to the aerial (but the gull was well bolluxed). Do I score extra for no damage to the Cab? |

Do I get a 1/2 point for the pigeon that shed feathers at the front, rolled under the car (numerous bumbs to floorpan) and somehow survived? Not a sign of it anywhere. I even got my mechanic to put it on the ramp to see if it was lodged above the exhaust.

I'm not bothered about the likes of Rabbits, Pigeons, Pheasants and feral foxes but, I do try and avoid Hedgehogs, Badgers, Deers and Red Squirrels. I'm partial to Pheasant if it's been hung for a few days.

Hitting the Partridge may cause little or no damage. I suggest Pear Trees, and Trees generally, are best avoided. |
