BTW, how much asprin is needed?

A couple ground up and mixed with the milk is all it takes *apparently*..
Valium & similar are even better but you need a script. - They have better
knock down power.

Then valium might be the go. Most pensioners have cupboards full of the
stuff! I have used valium to quieten an Indian Mynah so I could try to
remove fishing line that was tangled around its leg. At first I went
for weight-for-weight comparison with humans, but was way off--I found
that about half a tablet was necessary to slow down the bird enough
that I could make a grab for it. This is much more than I anticipated.

Yes, it was an Indian Mynah. I'm too soft hearted to kill some vermin!
