Red hair in the UK in my time back there usually meant Irish. No wait! Those other guys who wear skirts farther North. Play a cow udder, gutted, for screeching sounds. Ah yes! Highlanders! Kilts and bagpipes! But who the hell would wear a skirt when a coldwind is blowing? Maybe incentive to blow harder on the udder?
Wonder if the haggis gives them gas, so they always have extra wind?

Careful Hal Smile

Remember they like playing with a big stick Rolling Eyes

for the fun factor etc Wink

so choose your words nicely I would suggest Smile

or they just may drop one right on top of you just for the enjoyment factor Smile

. Now

in another life Wink

under another name bounce

I had an absolute ball with those canny scot's as such for quite some time. Maybe big on the skirt issue Wink

but certainly know what a tough type pigeon can do on a good day.

Maybe

but guess what has 65% of it's weight as a protein & 300% more than meat fish or poultry. 58 more times richer in iron than spinach & 25 times richer in beta-carotene than a carrot Rolling Eyes

& a 100 other goodies to boot Wink

& it's green in nature Smile

Just makes sense. Way I was thinking. Breed Siamese fighting fish. Algea and infuorsia from the plants keep the fry alive until they can eat newly hatched brine shrimp. It has to have all that is good for their growth. Algea. Basically the same thing. Green water now they use in some countries.

To see Hal, the green algea Spirulina ponds etc in many countries now & then read up on the subject as such & then place that against the clean clean way most clean their drinkers for our birds, may just suggest we have got it all wrong some how in a nature sense, maybe Wink
