Green Plastic Netting

Found this morning 2 gold finches traped in someones netting which was just thrown over the top of their cabbages to stop cabbage white, the netting wasn't tried down or helled up by canes etc, so the birds got inside and became tangled in the netting, as they were nexted to the road side i freed them

 

Well done Jifster

Hope you threw a few cabbage whites in in exchange

 

Thank you Zigs
We haven't many birds around here so i had to save them, but if the netting was put up properley it may not of traped the gold finches

 

If just thrown in heap with loose folds, plastic netting can also entangle frogs, toads and snakes.

Good job, Jiffster

 

Thank you M

 

Jiffy, I have often been tempted to form a vigilante group to rampage through the neighbourhood collecting and destroying this awful - bloody awful netting.
You did so well saving the finches. I have often told the story of the hedgehog I tried to free from this dreadful stuff, and the sound of his screams will never leave me. I couldn`t save the leg that was severed by the netting, which had wrapped around the poor creature tighter and tighter in his panic. There was still some wrapped round him when he struggled free and disappeared into the night - with his mate. I never found him again, although I searched for weeks.....

 

The trouble is, this stuff does not disintegrate - it stays around to continue trapping and maiming animals and birds - like the plastic that kills life in the oceans.

 

You want to come here as you will have your work cut out not much of the netting side of things but the other things that go on

 

Magic, ..just magic
