Index of Subjects Thanks for the answers. The problem has so far not become audible. - A relief. This morning, they were heard clucking around sunrise. Since then, they made themselves invisible, maybe moved on or hunkered down in the rain. Having European fire ants, effective controllers of "pestiferous arthropods" are welcome. However, they were more interested in picking grains out of grass stalks. One of the birds has a red band around its left leg. Will keep you posted, Burkhard On Fri, Jun 29, 2018 at 6:49 AM Hebda, Andrew J <Andrew.Hebda@novascotia.ca> wrote: > > > > They are true, free spirits/ Very effective at controlling a variety of "pestiferous arthropods", but not readily contained. Wide ranging within 100-200 m of where they may have been released. Since they are quite vocal, you can ask around your neighbours... if they have been round for several days (even penned) you should be able to pin down where they came from.. They are quite pricey to buy at the moment, so suspect someone may be looking for them. > > Andrew > > .
