A Morning In The Garden Center

[Jan Doherty]

Our local garden center had a Robin problem so they shot them    .....it didn't go down well and people started a petition  :blink:
Not bad for one morning  .......so it's up to your's for Tea then  :thumbsup:

Just read through this thread. Going to ask a daft question now? What problems could a Robin Cause? Other than being bad luck to see one, it usually means a death can't think of why they would be a problem?

Unfortunatly the family of Robins lived in this really big, well known branch of garden centers cafe/kitchen .....So the Robins asked for what they got as they were such naughty, calculating birds :wacko: ......Public hygiene and all that :angry:

Thats unusual Hannah as Robins tend to be very terotorial and will attack any other Robin that ventures into it's area?.

They tend to live a pretty solitary life (unless breeding lucky buggers )

 

[Strike Whippets]

No silly .......it was a Mummy Robin, Daddy Robin and little baby Robins........Hence them being a family of Robins :- " .........This is why there was an uproar as the chicks were nearly ready to fly the nest, so for the sake of a week or so when they would have all gone because (as you said ) they are very terrotorial, they were shot

 

[Mark Roberts]

So what's happening now!

is everyone walking around singing the old song ?

WHO SHOT COCK ROBIN

 

[Strike Whippets]

No ........ :lol: They want the nasty manager to resign for ordering their shootings

 

[Mark Roberts]

I can't understand why he had them shot? why not just chase them away everytime they show themselves if they didn't want them?

surely though a few Robin flying around the garden center was nice for visitors?.

 

[Strike Whippets]

What .......and s***ing on your sandwiches .......no its not good for buisness :unsure:

 

[Mark Roberts]

I like Robins, they should of set up a feeding station in a quiet corner out of the way from the cafe, then hopfully that would of solved the problem but a bit late for that I suppose.

 

[Strike Whippets]

Umm yes a bit late cos they're dead now :unsure: :wacko:
