Mr H Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Back in July of this year I found a very poorly Bantam on the side of the road and with no experience of them came to this forum desperate for help, the subject was "poorly bantam" I just thought I would pop back and say thank you to everyone who helped me save him and wish you all a merry christmas, Ninja is now a fully fledged member of the family and is perhaps far to healthy for his own good "flies all round the neighbourhood when he is of a mind to" lives mainly in the house and watches telly from any warm lap he can find to cuddle in to, he did turn out to be a little boy and is so affectionate it shocks people when they visit, thank you again for all the help he is living the goodlife kind regards steve Edited December 23, 2014 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beantree Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 So sweet Mr H. Ninja definitely landed on his feet with you. We find '1001 Trouble Shooter' invaluable for dealing with little 'accidents' on the carpets. We have several bottles and scrubbing brushes kept handy.

I wanted to get him a couple of silkies (the ones that look like muppets) but he would have to move outside if I did and he does like pretending to be a cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr H Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Lucky Ninja,he got lucky with you.What is the bird,is it a raven?It seems very tame. No that's Russel one of a pair of Rooks I hand reared from tiny, they are back in the wild now but still come back for a portion of Go-Kat couple of times a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found babies wet wipes are brilliant but he is on pellets so every thing is pretty solid, unlike the Rooks I hand reared I am still clearing up after them two years later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill2b Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I have got that stupid chicken smile on my face again and the girls are in bed, brilliant work Mr H Ninja is a very lucky chap (as are you for chancing across this lovely fellow. I would love to have our girls in the house but they are a bit too messy, we are thinking of making a portable run so they can come with us when we go away in the Motorhome, I'm sure we would get plenty of funny looks but lots more chicken smiles as well. I once found a White Rabbit in a field quite a way from civilisation, took him home and then the vet he had been bitten and abandoned, he lived in our house for ages and grew very pally with the cats, eventually we moved "Harvey" outside into his shed with two story outside run. He lived a long and happy life great stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill2b Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Superb Mr H and Ninja. In the olden days I used to take my Budgie called "Rover" with me everywhere including 2 tours with the RAF in Germany, he used to sit on my shoulder or the dash, one time I got pulled up by the police (this was the days when "Tax in post" excuse actually worked) anyway he asked me if I usually took Rover with me in the car "Of course I do" I said "is there anything unusual about that?"
