The animals in your town

**dirtydog** · 24-06-2007, 07:04 PM

^I have 2 of them living at the back of my place, trouble is they only get the sun in the morning and I am generally not up in the morning so I aint got no pics of them.

Well it seems the 2 birds are now 3 or 4, one is defineately a baby, he spent an hour in this room this afternoon because it was raining, got to admit I don't think he is going to last too long out in the wilds of Jomtien if he is scared of a bit of rain, bit of a wimp this one, the other I am not sure if it is a baby or just the father bird being lazy and pretending to be a baby, not seen 4 of them at the same time.

DD, I think the black birds with yellow beaks are a type of myna. Noisy little flits, but a range of sounds and always come in pairs. Alway had the same two at my place (one had a crook leg) and I gave them bread crumbs. Thought they were pretty useless until I saw them eating a cockroach. Maybe they tried to kick the baby out of the nest once it was old enough. I think they mate for life, so baby must find his own partner. Probably left you when the food source dried up.

**Sir Burr** · 25-06-2007, 07:24 AM

Yeah, they're Common Mynah. One of the most common birds in SE Asia. One of my favourite birds. Cocky, arrogant bastards, but you've got to admire their resourcefulness.

I had a powercut this evening and when I went outside for something I noticed a shadow go past me when I went back into the house. I thought it was just a moth but soon realised it was too fast for that.

I set the camera focus to 3m and held a torch in one hand and the camera with the shutter primed in the other. I took half a dozen shots but this was the only one that came out OK.

Don't bother telling me the tiles are crap - I didn't choose them.

**dirtydog** · 05-08-2007, 04:38 PM

Your tiles aint very nice btw, cant beat your bat picture, or is it a vampire, but I got a nice picture of a Pattaya long haired rat, these are very popular in Pattaya and Jomtien, also in Nan I believe they are considered an exotic meal by the local German expat population.

This one is a fine example and will probably be lovingly cared for for another month or 2 till the Thai owner realises that dogs piss and shite all the time, at this time it will probably be sent upto the village and live with the families collection of Soi dogs where it will become an object of ridicule by the proper dogs.

grest shot of the wee bat dougal..i,ll show it to the missus,she,ll be on a high all night!!!we got heaps here as well.. i leave the bak light on for the bugs and get a great show!!

**dirtydog** · 22-06-2008, 05:04 PM

Well my birds are back, I am assuming these are the original ones, so of course stupidly I have been giving them food again on the balconey when I get up in the morning, now my normal morning ritual is to get up, should mention that I sleep naked, yes I realise that maybe a horrendous thought to some of you, go and open the curtains and see what the weather is like, turn on the kettle etc, obviously I have dark glass so the people across the road don't have to see me wandering around naked, the trouble is the birds can see I have opened the curtains, so now they keep flying into the glass to attract my attention or tapping on it with their beaks, this is actually becoming a bit of a pain, also as I will only give them one lot of food perday they now spend half their day flying in and out of the room

**good2bhappy** · 22-06-2008, 05:12 PM

next door I have a 2 metre monitor!
It replaced the king Cobra, a god swap IMO.

**gusG** · 22-06-2008, 06:27 PM

The pink tiles are lovely!

**sabang** · 22-06-2008, 06:30 PM

The gardeners here quite regularly put traps down in the canal pond to catch some fish, but they weren't expecting to gatch this critter- a water monitor.

Amazingly, this one wasn't destined for the pot- he let him go. Unlike the six foot rat snake they caught six months back, unfortunately didn't get photoes of that one.

**dirtydog** · 11-07-2008, 05:50 PM

Well the 2 mynah birds had another baby a few weeks ago, he first visited me a couple of weeks ago and the parents were lovingly feeding it, it seems they only do that for the first week they can fly and then they start attacking it all the time to get rid of it, he also hasn't learnt how to make a nest

the last couple of days the parents have been attacking the baby bird whilst carrying bits of twigs and that to give him some idea of what he has to do, this one isn't too bright and if the parents are not here he just spends his time resting on my balconey or trying to sneak into the room to find food, I may build some nesting boxes to stick up on the roof tomorrow

**blackgang** · 11-07-2008, 08:05 PM

Good thread DOG, OH and by the way, you are damn near all heart ain't ya.

**dirtydog** · 09-12-2008, 09:17 PM

Just thought I would put in a quick picture of my girlfriends gay dog.

**dirtydog** · 09-12-2008, 09:24 PM

My girlfriend has been going on about these baby pigs down near the Sugar Hut on the way to Pattaya, now remember this is like a major main road and they got wild pigs living there on a tiny bit of wasteland on the loose.

This is big momma pig and some baby piggies, she had 9 in all.

I shall probably send this picture to that Australian judge, these piglets are simulating sex and are only a month oe so old, I feel sure that it must be illegal.

This is daddy pig and his small wife, she is pregnant.

The owner/guy who sells old whisky bottles full of petrol is selling the baby piglets for 700baht each, I think for 700baht it would be worth watching him trying to take one of the piglets from the parents

As you can see in this picture of Pattaya which is a world class tourist destination the wasteland is basically a rubbish dump.

except the thread innit as interesting as I hoped since the selfish bastards didnt kill all the animals where i thought they were going to.

**Bill Donnell** · 25-12-2008, 09:36 AM

I have often wondered why there are so many dogs in my village. The Thais don't seem to treat them as pets. Only kick at them when they get in the way.

Two packs live at each end of the street. The East side gang and the West side gang. From time to time one gang leaves their hood and goes for a rumble with the other gang. If one ends up in the wrong hood, he gets badly mauled. Looks like New York gangs except they haven't learned graffiti. Presently using dog pee instead.

**dirtydog** · 23-01-2009, 09:02 PM

I took this picture a couple of days ago at the traffic lights of 3rd Road and South Pattaya Road, the parrot isn't chained up in anyway and they zoomed off on the bike as soon as the lights changed.

**dirtydog** · 05-06-2009, 08:09 PM

This dog lives in my local 7 11 stockroom, he probably doesn't shit or piss in there too often as they sometimes take him out for walks, this is how they dree him up though, not sure why the swimming goggles as its quite a way to the beach in Jomtien.

Here he is in his home.

**mtone9317** · 29-06-2009, 08:17 AM

We raised three pigs last summer. Best pork I've eaten since I was a boy on my Grandfathers farm for the summer. My 8 year old refused to eat the finished product. She said,"Why did you have to kill Freddy?" We told her not to name the pigs. Kids...what can you say?

Going a bit further down the Soi is land that has been made ready for developing, but they still got bloody buffalos on it.

**dirtydog** · 27-03-2011, 12:51 AM

Well I was out on the bike today in Jomtien and come across a rare blue striped dog.

She had recently had 5 puppies, luckily 3 were black so the stripes don't show.

Wonder if this would be classed as cruelty in the UK, you never know maybe the dogs enjoy it.
