Why you should support your local businesses

So, the other week, my new "flapper" (you put a dead bird on it, and it moves the wings up and down. 30-60 beats a minute for corvid, 200-300 beats a minute pigeon, controlled by a speed controller), blew the gearbox. Now they are motor/gearbox integrated units, and all seem to come from Chin...

Seed Stealing Crows

Involved in a bit of run and gun tactics as of late, mostly across mixed farming country. Shot a bandit with a beak full of wheat today and I thought I'd share the moment.

So, two lots of good news today.
One, my big four armed rotary had packed up, was turning then not turning. I had stripped it, but didn't seem to be able to fix it, the gearbox was full of grease, and no water in it, and the motor appeared fine, but kept stopping turning. So had resigned myself to buying a ne...
