I think these are not really invasive ... rather, they are simply expanding their range, just as many other species of birds and mammals have done ... which, to me, makes the whole population control idea ludicrous ...invasive species are invasive species, no matter how cute they are
Like for instance, the way humans have been expanding their range and how well the planet has benefited from that . . .rather, they are simply expanding their range, just as many other species of birds and mammals have done ... which, to me, makes the whole population control idea ludicrous ...
Don't think so, but I haven't looked at the feathers up close. They are fairly bold for large birds, but I've never gotten closer than about 20 feet.Spey hackle?
And what else will the mongoose eradicate? Unless they're single species focused, that might just become a bigger problem.It’s very simple…just import mongoose to eradicate them…ask any Hawaii biologist…
One thing they won’t eradicate is mice and rats…the very thing they were imported to removeAnd what else will the mongoose eradicate? Unless they're single species focused, that might just become a bigger problem.
We are the worst “invasive species”.What the F are they thinking .....

Owl is great for soft hackles. The extremely supple nature of their feathers is why they are nearly silent in flight.Spey hackle?
I don't have any owl feathers.. so send some my way!! LOL!!If they're anything like the Spotted Owls, don't follow the cooking instructions included on the leg band.
Plucking and grilling is far superior to the suggested “Wash. Biol. Surv.”
as an english lit major, actually didn't..can I still keep my man card?So you had to look it up also?
