It was the equivalent of a weekend job, I started off helping the keeper with the birds and on shoot days organising the beaters and training dogs to flush and retrieve. If there was a spare peg I would be able to shoot or look after guests (inevitably untrained) dogs. He got three beagles from the local hunt and gave one to me (in hindsight I realise this was to avoid paying me) and because we didn't have that much room in the mansion he (Clark, because I was as sad then as I am now) was kennelled. I built a little run for him in the garden under my window so he was on hand for shoot days or if someone wanted to borrow him.
Webly of Arabia though.
From experience of going into lots of peoples houses, only scruffs have pet birds or big fish tanks.
I'm a twit
Parrots are fun for about 10 minutes, but I once lived above a bloke that had one (he also had dreadlocks and wore a bandana, the nonce) and it was a nightmare. Nothing like a 20 minute encore every time an Ambulance goes past. Noisy pricks.
I have a 24 year old cockatiel. He is an eccentric fucker i also have a 4 year female cockatiel.
I was with you Baz, but if Queeny has a bird then they are for dons.

Birds are for weirdos.
Snakes are for weirdos who want to seem mysterious
Dogs are the default choice but can be fun. Depends on the breed.
Fish are for the really boring and/or people who work 16 hours a day
Reptiles aren't pets
Cats are primarily for the emotionally destitute
Hamsters exist to teach children about death
We all know what horses are for
Farm animals are farm animals and not pets
That leaves birds and certain dog breeds as worthwhile animal companions. Lmk if i forgot anything but I doubt it
Ahh shit I have a massive Tarantula
Fuck. Right. Off.
Ban him immediately.
Bit buy another locality and the pain kept me up for 30 hours.
I've said it before, but I would love to boot one of them. Preferably at a wall so it burst all over.
I know someone who trod on one barefoot by accident. Unpleasant.
We had one on our balcony in Cuba and only knew it because we heard it walking. A sound fit for Halloween. You're mental Queeny.
I've always wanted a snake but my mum wouldn't let me have one and now the fiancée won't so I've given up that idea.
Just get a secret one like Jimmy's Llama.
Could not have felt more stupid when this happened.

That spider is deffo a banning, as is quoting its post on a new page.
That spider is why I will never go to Australia. We need to nuke it from orbit
Fuck this.
Tomorrow I swap Ł1500 for him.
D'awwwwwwwww.
Eleven today.
Not a day over 5
His grey bits are a giveaway, but otherwise he could pass for seven.
We had voles in the lawn in the summer. They're protected so you aren't allowed to nuke them. They went away for a while but they're back.
The puppy can obviously smell them and is going mental digging a massive hole in the lawn.
He's about doubled the size since that photo. Nobend.

Pick him up, cart him inside and let him whimper through the French windows at it. It's the only way they learn.
It's not the only way they learn (or even the most effective way). Just letting them get on with it is definitely worse though so I can hardly talk.
When it comes to digging holes or anything to do with scent they just point blank don't learn, tbf.
They can but it's difficult especially with Spaniels. I think we'll probably do gundog training with him at some point as that teaches them really good impulse control for things like this and recall when there's a rabbit or whatever.
Video of him digging, please.
Is there an easy place to upload videos?
