Why not buy a couple of them huskies, few eagles, vultures, snakes, mongoose and throw them into your gaff and see what happens?

Sorry I am just being stupid as you would need a bigger apartment for all of that. Is that why your moving?

I wonder what the next few weeks will bring? You should write a book as you've got more than enough material already.

Keep it up Mirky.

You'll be fine with a pair of pink marigolds Dave, they'll look the part and give you all the protection you need

So you mean if people stopped buying the bloody things maybe they'd stop catching them?

Today at the market...

Finished work and caught bus to market.

What did we have on sale today?

Eagle... Big mother. Now this one looked fierce and was making the shrieking noises you would expect. I looked at it and considered what was involved with owning one. Mulled it over and carried on walking.

Saw a cracking Owl. Only 600 baht. Really nice Scops Owl same as mine.

Mad vicious dogs.

Some really lovely Huskey dogs. Big blue eyes.

German sheperds that I saw a few days ago looking in bad shape.

The trouble with this market is that even if the animals arrive in good shape the Thai's just leave them out in the sun or cramped in small cages. I'd guess unless somebody buys them of first day or so they die anyway be it at market or when you get them home. Learnt this the hard way with our first owl.

Squirrels....Loads of em.

Baby Owls.

Snakes...Kin hundreds today.

Jelly fish...

Turtles....

Tortoises...

Some sort of wild cat???? Looked a nasty bit of work.

About every type of song bird, Kingfisher you've ever seen.

It's a mad place. I'll never get fed up walking round here. I like it as much as walking up Soi 6.

Owls doing great at home.

Bottled it on the eagle. Asked the geezer to show me how to feed it.

Looked at that large Raptor beak ripping a chicken to pieces and decided he could keep the koont.
