Kraziekatz1 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Anyone see this yesterday on the news? http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-31705663 Like the end bit where they ask what predators the woodpecker would normally be vulnerable to....apparently it's other weasels (haha, really?)

twobears Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Amazing photo Ferrets are pretty nasty too, especially hungry ferrets. Had some chickens killed right in front of my eyes a few years back. I managed to capture the ferret eventually but he killed or maimed a lot of my birds before I could get the little devil. I was tempted to finish him off but I know he was just acting according to his instincts so I gave him to a man who keeps ferrets that same afternoon as I couldn't bear to keep looking at him (ferret, not man) after he'd killed my favourite Lavender Wyandotte 1 Quote
Keyser Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Pound for pound, there isn't much as hard as a weasel! Why do I think there is a joke in there based on "gentleman's tackle" I do however agree with the sentiment nothing to do with watching "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" either 1 Quote

Keyser Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Yeah but you don't have a picture of a honey badger on the back of an eagle let alone a woodpecker so we have to disqualify the honey badger Quote

rabbitstew Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Ferrets are pretty nasty too, especially hungry ferrets. Had some chickens killed right in front of my eyes a few years back. I managed to capture the ferret eventually but he killed or maimed a lot of my birds Ferrets will eat anything. Mate of mine has no end of them and when we used to go shooting rabbits for local farmers, he`d chuck one in their pen and there was very little left of it by the time they were finished. We used to joke that it would be a good way to get shot of a body. Quote
WhackyWill Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) I hope this thread is not heading down the path of Beavers..!! Great book out at the moment "how to "Vajazzled your Beaver." by Jennifer Love. Sure its on Amazon . Edited March 4, 2015 by WhackyWill Quote

JetSet Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Pound for pound, there isn't much as hard as a weasel! They're no match for a cat though, neither are stoats for that matter. A few years ago one of cats trapped a polecat in our garden but wouldn't actually tackle it and I don't blame it. Haven't seen a weasel or a stoat around here for years, they used to be common, but last year there was a weasel or stoat that was cornered by one of our cats underneath some black plastic sheeting in our garden. Couldn't see it but I could hear it spitting furiously at the cat. Sadly, I haven't seen a Green Woodpecker since the late 1980's Pete Quote
