I fully accept that these are not KKOB's birds, following his posts as I have for a very long time, no way would I believe he would sanction this. I know that he is based in the area and is cognicent if most goings on there.

 I said at the outset, I am no expert in these matters, just wishing to draw the attention to what I think may be a problemfor these caged birds.

KKOB wote "I can tell you however that the quad-bike riders have in the past chased and killed, or caused the death of, a number of livestock including peacocks, chickens, goats and lambs in the Kaya Valley. They've also been seen deliberately squashing tortoises, chameleons and agamas."

Who are these people KKOB?? Do they do this  during the Summer (if so, why has this never been mentioned  before???) or is it a Winter "Sport" carried out only by local quadbikers?? Who has seen these poor tortioses chameleons and agamas being squished? Is there any evidence written, oral or photographic??

Evidence please

TJ  ??? ???

Tim no offence but why should KKOB provide you with evidence? You either believe what he says or dismiss it. Personally, if KKOB says something I believe him.

With the greatest of respect to KKOB, I do know that he is residing within the Kaya Koy area, what do you want me to do, give everyone his address??

No, It is  those who run the quadbiker company  who don't care about the birds, for goodness sake I have seen many of them (the holidaymakers) hanging on to their motorised steeds for dear life as their "guides" foment them to drive faster (lookee, I video you!!!!)

Exactly ! They're a blight on the whole valley and are only welcomed by a very small minority who make money from them. Unfortunately though, this very small minority have a very loud voice in the area.

Name calling has never had a place here - replies have been deleted. Next one will lock the topic.
