Any ornithologists out there know if sparrows in general are getting bigger or is it just my window all the lardy little b*stards come to? :confused:

haven't you worked this one out yet

the secret plot is that the government are feeding sparrows more and playing with their genes to make them bigger
this is so cats can catch them easier, meaning cats get fatter
making cats fatter slows them down so dogs can can catch them and eat them, thus making the dogs fatter
making dogs fatter will make them have all different ailments causing increased vet bills.
increased vet bills means more profit for vets.
more profit for vets means more tax for the government.

see it is a very simple plot if you think it through

So the V in V.A.T stands for vet! Surely such a diabolicle plan should have been thought up first by Ewok & Tuck Inc.?

the sparrow population seems to be in decline around here but the number of maggies has shot up, methinks there may be a connection

"......and so it was written that after 40 days and 40 nights, the rains would cease and only the strong will have survived..."

Now I don't wanna start a panic, but these SPARROWS might know something, cause it's been raining here most of the day!

Follow one home and see if it's got a boat on the drive or any sub-aqua lung kit

Don't say that! There's a canal at the end of our garden and since these sparrows are getting too fat to fly they've been boating across!

Our problems are with starlings, hooded crows and the stray raven. Not to mention the gulls that mug the local cats (pussies that they are)

Those huge sparrows could be Female Blackbirds or Dunnets.

Dougie
