In an attempt to thwart the spread of bird flu, George W. Bush has just ordered the bombing of the Canary Islands. Sorry to be the messenger of such bad tidings. Don't shoot me. Barry |

Bird Flue Warning From: jacqui.c The last time bird flue came up on the news around here was when Cheney had his little hunting accident. Then it all went quiet again. I am interested in what else is happening each time they raise the spectre of death as a result of this disease - a good way to bury bad news, as a spin doctor in the UK said at the time of 9/11. Give people something to fear and maybe it stops them from looking at the real problems..... |

Thanks for the laugh, Barry! How true, Jacqui. This admin. is very good at diverting attention, but I think too much is piling up and they are going to help themselves into a brick wall. |

08 Mar 06 - 04:54 PM (#1688565) Subject: RE: BS: Extra, extra!!! Bird Flue Warning From: GUEST,Coyote Breath who is a sucker for bird stori I once had a bird in my flue. I borrowed a neighbor's landing net (used to coax a caught fish into the creel) I open the wood stove's door and banged on the stove pipe. I hoped I could catch the bird, which turned out to be a yellow bellied sapsucker, (really) in the hand net and take it safely outside. Nope! it managed to slip past the net and proceeded to fly frantically around my reading room (I had shut all the doors but the one to the outside). As it flew from my flue it beat against first one wall of the room and than another. It was covered with soot. It left wing and body prints on all the walls, severally. Finally it flew out of the room, out through my porch and up to a handy limb of my giant catalpa tree. There it scolded me for about five minutes before flying off. Took me the better part of that day to clean the walls. CB |

09 Mar 06 - 03:28 AM (#1688902) Subject: RE: BS: Extra, extra!!! Bird Flue Warning From: Gurney I once had to dismantle a gas stove to get a sparrow out of it. They fall asleep and topple down the flue, and once inside, the only way is down. No room to spread their wings, of course. I had the sense to open all the windows that would, and draw curtains on all the windows that wouldn't, first. No problem, she went straight out. Through two rooms. Perhaps sparrows are more intelligent than sapsuckers. Omnivores, you see. If you have an open flue larger than 4", perhaps some chicken wire over or in it? |
