Nice and discreet rat bait box there in the garden Raq. Hope you didn't leave Wilby out there unattended like you did when you did the house tour. Pretty sure rat bait is more harmful than a fire lighter
And also:
The AIPZ in England means that bird keepers must:
- house or net all poultry and captive birds to keep them separate from wild birds
- cleanse and disinfect clothing, footwear, equipment and vehicles before and after contact with poultry and captive birds β if practical, use disposable protective clothing
- reduce the movement of people, vehicles or equipment to and from areas where poultry and captive birds are kept, to minimise contamination from manure, slurry and other products, and use effective vermin control
- thoroughly cleanse and disinfect housing on a continuous basis
- keep fresh disinfectant at the right concentration at all farm and poultry housing entry and exit points
- minimise direct and indirect contact between poultry and captive birds and wild birds, including making sure all feed and water is not accessible to wild birds
And, no, I'm not going to report you because I'm not an troll, just putting it out there
Edited to add: I think it's nice that Joyce is back into his hobby of birds again, shame he can't go out and about doing it anymore (maybe that's the excuse he used to sneak around behind the first Mrs Marshalls back) And Wilby has an obvious interest which is lovely to see.
