Faye Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Last night Keith and I were watching The Shining, about half way through there was a call for more beer, having got myself nicely scared by the creepy film I sent Keith off to the shed where the spare beer is kept. Being even more of a scaredy cat I followed him out. The security lights came on whilst Keith was in the shed, which illuminated a fair proportion of the garden, I looked at the grass and wondered what the white stuff was on it. Keith came out the shed and walked towards the railings, it was then I realised what the white stuff was. On the railings was a dove, pulled apart and partially eaten. Just what you need to see when you scared yourself silly with a film!!! :eek2: http://www.toplessdriver.com/gallery/albums/stuff/SUC30095.sized.jpg http://www.toplessdriver.com/gallery/albums/stuff/SUC30098.sized.jpg I was hoping that the culprit would run off with the evidence last night, but they didn't. We're stuck with a dead bird in the garden. The only idea for removal at the moment is bash it with a rake into nextdoors garden!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Faye, think you may need to find a good priest or medium. Apparently, on the DVD you can access a few deleted scenes one of which I have attached below ................ReDruM!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Man Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 the half eaten bird is a gift from the hunting animal, I think is a cat. Big cat, may be 6"1 tall and weight over 200lb China Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 I'm going for Kestral. Had one in the garden last summer pulling some poor critter apart. You're probably right! Last week I saw a magpie in a tree outside our front bedroom window doing the same thing to some gory brown, red and white lump on closer inspection it turned out to be one of the jam doughnuts I'd put out the back 'for the birdies' an hour before!

Rob Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 It's a voodoo kestrel, meant to scare you off that bottom bit of the garden. Was Craig David in town at the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
