Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[gavclojak]

My neighbours are having the loudest fireworks I have ever heard....I am too scared to go out to check the girls for fear of finding one or all dead with shock.....I am so sick of fireworks stating 1st November and still going on now....what the hell....if they dare say anything about the noise my girls make they are going to get a mouthful......

 

No wonder my girls have turned savage...it's the stress if not getting a good nights sleep.....problem is as they are now in two separate groups I can't even bring them in the hose in a box!!!!!!!

 

Am fuming if you hadn't guessed

I completely agree with you! Fireworks should be made animal friendly or banned. It is not fair on the poor animals that don't have a clue what is going on. I hope your girls are all okay

Thanks.. just been out to check and they slept through it....I hope but I do have a quivering griffon rooted to my lap in a state of terror!

What di I sound like, I will want to ban Christmas next...... bah humbug

An unexpected bonus of moving to the countryside is that firework season was dramatically curtailed.

In the city it seemed to go on for months as people celebrated Eid, Diwali etc. In fact fireworks seemed to be on sale from early autumn until after the Chinese new year and the poor cats would be dragged inside as soon as it got anywhere near dark for months on end.

In our village there were fireworks heard on just two evenings, and then just for a very short time. The chooks seemed unpeturbed.

 

I shall be adding this to my list of things I like better about the countryside
