    Yes, cuckoo Dumpy, I know. Rare here... I looked for them a decade ago. People usually don't realize there's a difference between cuckoo & barred feathers. Cuckoo pattern is irregular and/or V-shaped across each feather While Barred feather pattern runs connected across each feather

    Rodents are cute but in the wild they can be dangerous as well as a nuissance unfortunately. Is that a Gorilla Cart you show in the pic? We have two of them... an old & a new model❣️

    Set this out at night w/ tasty treats. We catch one on average every week. DH doesn't sweep up the dried rat poop so other rats smell it & think it's a safe spot to go after the bait. Sounds yucky... but it works... keep things too clean & disinfected & it won't go near the trap.
