Just had the wierdest thing happen. I was disturbed by a horrible screeching noise coming from the garden. I went out to find feathers all over and a thrush standing over a rather battered blackbird. I've never seen this before. Anyway the blackbird had to be killed to put it out of its misery. Plucky little bugger was biting the **** out of my finger before I necked it. RIP.
Yeah, I've knocked up some wanted posters with a £10k reward. That vile murderous thrush needs to be brought to justice.
I didn't eat it. There's not a lot of meat on a blackbird. They are only worth eating if you have a lot of them and bake them in a pie.
