| | | Re: Not so little brown job? Quite right, my error. However, after Tcvarlh's vitriolic outpouring I have decided this is, perhaps, not quite the right site for the likes of me as I would never be so rude as to talk in those terms to someone of whom I had no knowledge. Shame as some others, such as Lancashire Lad are extremely helpful to those less in the know but I guess there's always some who will spoil it for others. |

| | | Re: Not so little brown job? To whom it may concern,
I fail to see where vitriol was strewn. I also fail to see where I was 'rude.' I mentioned no name neither did I mark any one person. I further do not understand the religious connection. My post was intended to reduce the anthropomorphism prevalent. If you consider my comments offensive then so be it. No offence was intended. I consider 'cuddly toy' phraseology to be both offensive and belittling to animals and myself. There was not intent to 'spoil' any person’s enjoyment of WAB.
Yours
H

| | | Re: Not so little brown job? Although I am guilty of being anthropomorphic about animals sometimes I agree with Tcvarlh. Animals are animals, sometimes they entertain us, but lets not get too precious about them. |

| | | Re: Not so little brown job? Our juvenile group just left and I miss them so much! I swear they are the most fun I've had since I bought the new feeder.
Right now we have a wood pigeon that sits in the mesh tray and eats around itself before having a snooze in the sunshine (still in the tray).
