Smokey - my big grey tomcat who is very lovely and affectionate and also a merciless brutal killer - brought in a fledgling pigeon, I made him drop it in the kitchen and shooed him out

I turned around to find the bird stood up looking surprised with a very large hole in his back where the cat had attacked but not punctured the lungs, so I got the biggest gardening gloves, chucked an old tshirt over it and took it into the field

guess who came back half an hour later???

ever seen a cat drag a squirrel in through the flap with him??

Has nobody complimented the poster who said you are lucky it is not more than one crow or it could be a murder?

That is solid gold genius and gets my vote for post of the year so far!

Is it still there?

I was just wondering, do you know any men?

Two old forks, the blades hammered into the ground, about 26" apart. Loop an old inner tube round the sticking up bits. Wearing rubber gloves stretch the inner tube, making a catapult, then launch the corpse so it can fly back to rook heaven. Or through a neighbour's bathroom window: this would be best done when they are in the shower.

Hang it from the porch upside-down and draw a semi-circle out of salt on the floor, paint a pentagram on the door. This should keep out any evil forces that the sacrifice might have attracted in the first place. Turn any glasses upside down and turn all mirrors towards the wall.

I'm working myself in a frenzy! Blood pressure going sky high so resorted to cracking open a beer to unwind. 😀

OK, after dinner I *wondered* whether as it was dark it might be easier to dispose of. Hmm, no! Refuse needed emptying and there was no bloody way I was going out the back door. 😯 So, yes, I did catch sight of it and it was still lying there on the ground, close to my back door.

There will be shenanigans overnight, I can feel it in my bones. It will be messy but as long as the head has gone I may be able to cope.

I've seen plenty of dead animals, human bodies too, but dead birds just freak me out!

So ... thanks for entertaining me and, yes Cap'n, you're a very naughty man. 😆

*whispers* Ok, so here I am in cg's garden staring at a dead bird. Shall I make a mobile out it and have it dangling in front of her bedroom window ready for the mornings wake up?
I can muster a few extra dead birds for good effect.

Or I can make up a trebuchet and place the bird on one end and a weighted object on her window cill, then leave a note explaining that opening the window, will dislodge the weight, and the bird will get jettisoned away. Unless I get the measurements wrong.....
CG. Just kidding.
If you're lucky something will come and grab it in the night.
If not, the saga will continue.

You bet there'll be shenanigans overnight; that's when the zombie ravens come out to play!

I find the best time to deal with anything terrifying is always after dark.

Well, just a little update from a pathetic woman - had the most awful sleep and I'm blaming you lot for those distressing pics. 😉

I steeled myself for a peep and the darn thing is still there, intact. Local foxes are obviously rubbish!

Will ask a neighbour to help, not easy when everyone avoids you cos you're the local weirdo. 🙂

Sorry about the bad night's sleep CG, no doubt partially caused by my photos of dead animals. 🙁

I hope the dead crow boggers off from your patio and here's some photos of some living things to help cheer you up....

I suppose this is a stupid question but do you not live near any other weirdo's/cyclists who can do the job for you?

Hang on, there's a G-clamp on the bottom of that door on the right. Did they have to bodge it open extra wide?

It should be gone soon c_g, once it starts to smell a fox will get interested.

OP - Stan's makes both the Crow and Raven tires. 🙂

Both are black. The center tread is the same. The Raven has side knobs that are twice as tall as the Crow. ❗

So you just need to pick it up and look at it real close to tell if it is a Raven or a Crow. 😡 :mrgreen:

Crow (top) and Raven (bottom)

FCOL, it's taken a sinister turn and my blood pressure is rocketing.

It's moved!!! Dead bird is now on the grass, about 2 foot away from its original resting place on the patio. 😯

I can see it from the kitchen window so have closed the blind. Will be asking bloke across the road if he can help.

Clearly it isn't dead.
Best thing to do is finish the job with a spade.

Just woken up and read this thread. Top Bombing. There are now tears rolling down my cheeks.

This is why Mother Nature invented 8 year old boys. They'll poke it with sticks then spend the day throwing increasingly large stones/bricks at it. By the time their Mum calls them in for tea you will just have to wait for the rain to wash the liquified mess away. Sorted!

A little update...

Calm has been restored. 😀 I asked the bloke across the road and he happily retrieved and disposed of in some trees. Relieved that it won't be sitting in the dustbin for the next two weeks!

Thanks for entertaining me, and mocking me, but I expected no less! 😉 Thank goodness that trauma has ended.

'Disposed of in some trees' makes me think he's nailed it to a branch or something

Well it might not be sitting in your dustbin for the next two weeks, but its rotting and putrid corpse might fall out of a tree onto you.

TopTip : Keep away from trees near you for the next month or so.
