[north american hunter]

$600 each? What a steal! Ill take a couple.

[IR_mike]

Place your order via PM.....My prices are WAY more competitive then the above poster.

We have more trees in this area than Bodo.

More trees=more nesting areas.

Thanks



Mike from mikes wildlife sales/rentals LTD.

[Redfrog]

No problem. EMT would work. How many do you want?

Welcome to AO. How about you tell us where you are from and show us some pics of your birds/aviary etc. We love pics and we even have a few guys here who raise birds. Not mynahs mind you.

I'm guessing you live on the wet coast.

they make better pets than parrots

But he doesnt like the cold weather and does not like being outside of his cage

thats my outdoor aviary soon i will fill it with plants etc..

THe birds have to be caged at first so they know their area


Is it only alberta they are legal to trap?

[Pudelpointer]

To be serious for a moment (then Redfrog can go back to pulling your chain) it is illegal to keep any wildlife, including pest species, without a permit from the appropriate government agency.

In days long passed, many people had pet crows, raccoons, even skunks and flying squirrels. Can't do that any more. Well, not legally anyway.


ETA: just saw you are in Ontario. You had better check with your provincial Ministry of Natural Resources about the legality of keeping any native species of wildlife.

Non-native species (stalings and pidgeons) are probably not a problem in most jurisdictions, however I would still double check.

[flamingo]

wildlife rehab said I can own starlings, pigeons, house sparrows

[Redfrog]

Are you living in Ontario now?

Where did you get the mynahs? Are they wild? When I lived in B.C> there lots of wild ones on the coast.

[flamingo]

i bought the mynah off kijiji

feral mynahs in canada?


THey are very very aggressive birds


Id love to get more like a partner for mine

[flamingo]

so this is what i was told

I am allowed to keep starlings, english sprarrows, and pigeons

I need a permit for mallard ducks (UNLess they are white) canada geese and ring neck pheseants

yeah i live in toronto

i was told the eurasian magpie which is just like ours is totally legal to own and is a pest in some areas

Mynahs are almost all gone now Red. As far as I know I saw one of the last ones about 18 years ago a hop and a skip from Granville Island. I could be wrong though.

[Pudelpointer]

Alberta only has native magpies.

[flamingo]

yeah hill mynahs are VERY rare

I did not think common mynahs existed in canada wild

[Redfrog]

Yep. That's why I thought you were on the west coast.

I'll quit jerking your chain now. If you are in Ontario, I have no idea of the legalities of permits etc.

The mynahs on the coast were in Southern Vancouver, Rcihmond, U>B>C areas and on the island. The climate there is warmer, even than north Vancouver.
There was a locksmith shop that had one in the reception area. The bird would start yelling " Take the money and run" whenever someone walked in.It was a feral mynah

[flamingo]

are they common still i wonder


id pay whatever for mynahs

[Redfrog]

I left the coast in 2001, there were some there then, but they were never widespread. PP says there are many/ any left. He could be right.

Being on the coast there are several mini climate zones. I know places where palm trees or large cactus were part of the landscaping and were outside year round.
I only recall seeing mynahs in the warmer zones.

[drake]

If you're interested in the "trash can slam" I know a guy who can get you a seagull, pigeon (blue, white, cinnamon), raven, crow and magpie for cheap. pM for details

[Pokee]

Add grackle to your list and it's complete .. LOL ..

[densa44]

House sparrows and starlings are foreign imports, like dandelions. I pigeons maybe be too.

I don't think that you want magpies in Toronto. You have enough weird birds there already.

I shoot them from my porch when I get the chance. Full grown ones are easy to catch, but just deal with Red on this one. He could use the money.

[calgarychef]

I shoot lots of magpies too so don't jump on me for this. If we didn't have magpies but saw them in a pet shop, we'd see a gorgeous blue black bird, one of the smartest birds around and one that can be trained to talk. I bet we'd think differently of them. I've always wanted to catch a young one and keep it for awhile to see how they would imprint on a human.
