House sparrow population has declined by about 50% since 1970.

Vermin cats don't help the matter, but a wonderful little device called
the
Cat and Dog Repeller, it works off 2 x 9 volt batteries and is a small and
very portable unit and is easy to hide. It is made by STV International
Ltd
2002 at Little Cressingham in Norfolk. This will help the situation for
the
gardener who likes to see the fruits of his labour AND the wild birds
which
come.

who has a cat crap free garden :-))))))))))))))))))))))))


I know someone who breeds parrots in 2 large bans. The barns are infested
with huge flocks of parrots who come into the aviaries and steal the parrot
food. He was losing some 20% of food to the sparows at one time and the risk
of them spreading disease was great. Now he classes them as vermin and
employs someone to come and shoot them by the score.
Odd how some people class one lot of animals as 'vermin' and like anothe
lot, and someone else classes what the first lot like, as vermin.
