Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Carpathius - this is what we do. Get the chicken out of the house in the morning and close the door to the house so it can't get in. Make sure there's food available and don't allow it to go back in until much later in the day. I know it's a pain and takes perseverance but it has worked with other birds in the past.

Single pedestrians who can take up the full 3-person width of a footpath or cycle path just by "drifting" unpredictably.

Yes, mobile phones are normally involved too.

Thanks Tony, I'll do that. Was pecked this morning when I went and took her out for the second time.

Velociraptor
People who go, "Oh, yes, I feel sorry for the refugees and the starving babies in Africa, but we should look after our own first. Charity begins at home."

You just KNOW that you're listening to someone who has never lifted a finger or given a penny out of their purse to look after anyone in their entire life.

On a similar note to Velociraptor, people who loudly complain that "This is a Christian country!" when it suits their agenda, but haven't been near a church in years and treat "God botherers" with suspicion and scorn.
