why do you guys keep banning me? (Zot! Because we can) (Juwish modz totally rewl!)

I understand, I always have a soft spot for the critters. I am always trying to save little wounded bunnies my kitty or dog catch. None have made it yet, but I have at least offered them some quiet respite from the attack in a safe box with soft bedding.

Or something similar. This particular outfit might know of someone near you who could help. Also try google and the yellow pages.

I took a bluejay away from a cat ages ago and found a wildlife rescue group in the yellow pages who took him off my hands. But he was too badly injured and they had to euthanize him. Be prepared to be hit up for a donation, however. I gave 'em twenty bucks and they seemed quite happy with it. Thought it was generous. Good luck!

And you're a good man! :-)

We have one of those yards that always has robin nests, several finch nests, a returning humming bird nest, morning dove nests and a swallow nest. And, those cool crows eat more than their share the first hop out of the nest of the other birds. They are loud, they kill everything that is fuzzy and cute, and they are not cool.

I don't know why I typed 'bats', I meant to type 'rats'.

Pretty much.
They were going off of 'average rainfall' stats and said we had 11" of rain less than 'normal'.

But since we have been on this planet, we have only been recently "keeping records" so how do we know what "normal" is for anywhere?

Don't know.
They seem to sometimes choose an arbitrary number and claimit as normal.

Actually didn't feel anything. I did get a flood of emails asking me if I was ok though. Thing is, I didn't know there was an earthquake, so I was a little puzzled by the increased interest in my well being.

Thanks, but it isn't like the name is hard to remember - Stag. Only 4 letters.

updates:

1. Goon isn't wounded: he's either sick or exhausted or both, but he has no evident injury of any sort. He did fly earlier this afternoon, only 300 yds but under full control, and was knackered as a result.

2. it turns out Goon is not a gull at all - he appears to be a Greater Shearwater, though if he is one he is damned big for one.

Thanks for the update.

A Greater Shearwater, eh? Well, that explains everything. Yep, if I'd known Goon was a Greater Shearwater we could have avoided all this confusion and gotten right to brass tacks. A Greater Shearwater, that's a load off my mind.

By the way, what the Kerry is a Greater Shearwater?
