LuckyChickenLover- Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I was giving our chooks a hug today with my Mum, when Priscilla climbed up my Mum's arm, perched on her shoulder, then pecked and stole her earring! At first we were really scared, because we thought she had swallowed it, and we were trying to prize Priscilla's mouth open to get it out, but then my Mum found the earring on the ground. She's supposed to be a hen not a magpie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffodill Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Silly bird- I think mine are seagulls they just eat and eat and never lay me any eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 They like to peck at anything shiny - so watch out for necklaces, rings, glasses or red-painted toenails (mine especially love seeing toes through the holes in Crocs! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennydavies Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Maybe she fancied the earrings to wear herself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Oh yes mine love rings, bracelets, necklaces, buttons, rivets on jeans - anything shiny basically! They've never got close enough to an earring to have a nibble, but I am sure they would given the chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaincollins Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 one of my ex batts has taken a shin to my lovely diamond engagment ring, clearly she just likes the pretty stones without the commintment as she doesnt like the wedding ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrin Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 one of my ex batts has taken a shin to my lovely diamond engagment ring, clearly she just likes the pretty stones without the commintment as she doesnt like the wedding ring Mine also go for any rings, metal watches, necklaces, and yes shiny toenails are very tempting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlehenny Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I made the mistake of wearing crop trousers with those bits of string through the bottom of them that you tie in a bow. All three of my girls thought they were big juicy worms and attacked them, getting the string in their beaks and pulling for dear life I've never worn them since!!!!

Alis girls Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Mine likes my watch, my flip flops and my pink toenails - very alrming - I screw my toes up when they come near- I think there is a bit of magpie in mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 mine like my engagement ring, it has two red rubies on it, when Im had feeding them they peck at it, I worry that the stones will come one, not overly worried bout the bird and it will prob go straight through lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
