    Birds

    Hello - I'm here for six weeks (although I've already been here for three weeks), so I'm not exactly a real ex-pat, but anyway:

    What are the large birds of prey that seem to be in the sky wherever you look? Eagles?

    I searched the forum for 'bird' but didn't find anything...

    Most likely to be kites.

    Im not sure, but my mad neighbour (about four kilometers away in the forest as the crow flies) caught one, it had a broken foot. I don't think its a bird, more like jaws?

    Very soon possie's of the things used to fly overhead, they heard him calling. Them plus the eagle owl wiped out my entire goldfish lake, an it was special Jikin goldfish too.

    Now the so called birds nest in the forest within eye shot, and fly over every morning

    When will people stop playing with nature?
