It certainly beats the shit out of the noise of heavy traffic or loud music, none of which I suffer now.<br /><br />They are tough old birds and, I know you are not going to like this, one of my favourite dishes...<br /><br />(I did a haunch of one of the bushbucks I shot last week for Sunday lunch yesterday. It was scoffed down to the bone)<br /><br />If you can bring yourself to do it, let them breed and I'll send you Marcia's recipe which is devine. At least they will have had a better life than the plastic wrapped birds you buy at the supermarket.Hippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468795398813061897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-20975751173742197902012-07-30T12:38:49.048+00:002012-07-30T12:38:49.048+00:00I love your little insights into animal life...I love your little insights into animal life...Nota Benehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00969705852180234416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-42291262192117925722012-07-30T12:38:35.149+00:002012-07-30T12:38:35.149+00:00Joined at the hip!Joined at the hip!CarrieBoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05760105674950918729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-88530890441175245882012-07-30T12:14:24.500+00:002012-07-30T12:14:24.500+00:00I'm curious to know how long it takes before i...I'm curious to know how long it takes before it appears Alf and Hughie have moved on.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.com
