Why?

He's not climbed up on your roof, has he?

Still, it'll cost less than getting your cherry picker out to deal with him.

Re: General Election?
 

My tastes may be catholic dear but I do draw the line, occaisionally. And besides, I'm getting a bit too long in the tooth to go shinning up drainpipes to negotiate with stroppy councillors.

Re: General Election?
 

Yes, but if you leave him up there he could start picking at his mirkin, and use it to feather a nest.

You might never get him down.

Lobbing something now might be wiser in the long-run.

Re: General Election?
 

A bit like the phoenix then. Too much to hope he might go up in flames I suppose.

Re: General Election?
 

Mirkins are highly flammable.

You might be lucky if you burn a lot of paper in your grate.

Re: General Election?
 

Nah, I think I'll leave him up there actually, pour encourager les autres, sort of thing. At least he will keep the pigeons away.

Re: General Election?
 

That's nice.

You never know.

In time, with the offer of a few treats, you might tempt him down to sit on your hand.

Re: General Election?
 

Yes, and I could probably train him to repeat comical phrases such as "Ed Milliband is a plonker" and "B*gger Kashmir", wot fun.

Re: General Election?
 

...and 'Who's a pretty b...'

Perhaps not.

Re: General Election?
 

Hmmm, I don't know, could be useful for shocking the vicar. Watch out Reverend, don't get too close or he might flap his mirkin at you. Oh dear, too late.

Re: General Election?
 

If you plan on taming him, and keeping him caged, as a pet.

You'll need to cut his toe nails occasionally, and only feed him your finest seed.

Re: General Election?
 

He'd need a tail as well. I have seen some in shiny black neoprene. A tad expensive but what is the use of a pet without a tail to wag?

Re: General Election?
 

People could come to admire him from miles around.

Though make sure you use the right size plug.

Otherwise it will keep coming off, and feathers are a devil to get up.

Re: General Election?
 

I don't think I will be showing him, I want to keep him for breeding.
You see, apart from the odd shred of mirkin there are no droppings to speak of. A positive boon really.

Re: General Election?
 

Probably wise.

Disappointment's such a hard cross to bear.

So I'm told.
