The sparrow-killers of East Dulwich

[macroban]

And we all know the streets where they live.

Am I missing summat? What has this got to do with ED, marcroban?

[RosieH]

Are the good people of East Dulwich going crazy with their paving?

[Brendan]

Paving over their front gardens. It's tantamount to sparracide.

[Strawbs]

Sparacide... PMSL!! that is going in the 'what has made you laugh' thread..

Sadly the "Cockney" Sparras"-Cheeky Chappies of my youth i.e.80% of London Working-Class Males are a dying breed as well replaced by Metrosexual Man,so thats all right then:)

We have seen a massive increase in sparrow numbers in our bit of ED over the past few years - but then we spend a small fortune in feeders and food, and have triple-belled our mighty hunter of a cat! It is wonderful entertainment though watching the sparrows, tits, finches, robins, blackbirds etc etc through the window whilst smugly breakfasting: even get the occasional woodpecker on the apple tree....

This would be a great title for a movie. Where are you HB?

[SimonM]

Yeah....time for a remake of Hitchcock's "The Birds"!

[PeckhamRose]

Aren't cats also sparrowkillers? All those missing cats - that's what they're up to.

So put bells on your cats' collars, people!

[SimonM]

A single bell is no good - a cat soon learns to move noiselessly with one bell. Three bells should do the trick!
