well, if i got face to face with my bird's killer i certainly would! But i have never, DH handles for me thank God. But i do remember some discussion about doing a certain angle of head shot, or the bullet wasn't killing the big coons? I think essentially between the eyes was the advice.

Quote:Originally Posted by Maah I remember a discussion about this once from the guys i used to work with- they said always test a thermostat by dropping the thing in boiling water. It should pop open fairly quickly, if it does not or is only partially open than it's no good. Also i remember DH saying once that his stepdad drove without a thermostat in his vehicle in FL. Got too hot down there, so he took the thing out/ drilled a hole? did something and it essentially was "open" to circulate all the time!

I *think* birds aren't supposed to eat them either, and cooped birds do eat things they normally would not. As in my catnip they aren't supposed to have either. No puking, but possibly some pretty messed up birds!
