    Re: Another feeding question

    Doesn't sound any more morbid than baby mice or fish. I'm actually curious about this too. I've got a bunch of nests around my house and shop and its about time those birds paid some rent

    I only say something because I've raised many a Robin. They hold a special place in my heart. They are a very smart bird.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    I meant to say that in reply to Lovok's comment about whether using birds as food is morbid. I probably should have quoted.

    I can completely understand your feelings about robins they are nice birds. I would have trouble using an animal for food that I once raised. I've got plenty of sparrows around here which are pretty much the mouse of the bird world in my opinion.

    Lovok - I found the following youtube video when doing a google search. I don't think that guy cares very much about his snake though because that seems really unsafe.




    This is more what I had in mind (or even slightly younger)

    Yup, that's about the size I was meaning too, hopefully smaller. The nest I'm thinking of invading has four eggs in it, so it's not like I'm destroying the robin population or anything.

    I don't think feeding a completely feathered bird to a snake is a good idea, unless birds are a natural part of its diet, but since I've read that garters have even been observed eating road kill...I just want to add more variety, satisfy a curiosity, and not harm my snake.

    I may be wanting too much...
