Of course :lol: How Cypriot would I be if I didn't invite the whole world to a BBQ? Hade, bring a bag of charcoal and a pack of pide and everyone can come along :D
PS Anyone living in Palmers Green, please feel free to bring a box of warm Lokma from Yasar Halim or Aroma for afters :lol:
PPS If there isn't any Lokma, samisi will do :D
PPPS And of course, bring your tennis gear - this is about bi-communal sports as opposed to bi-communal eating afterall :lol: |

I don't know what Miksha is - I was talking about the (illegal) glue-sticks. |

I agree that this practice is unacceptable and welcome the efforts being taken to stamp out such illegal trapping of birds.
In reality the use of glue-sticks, which dates back 100's if not thousands of years is nto the main problem. Much more recent and 'efficent' meathods of trapping birds are now used. Sophisticated systems of nets set up in 'tree runs' and using the replaying of recorded bird calls to attract birds can lead to the indisciminate capture of 100's and thousands of of birds in an hour or 2 diuring the main migartion periods - and the birds capture (killed) inevitably included many rare and endagered spcies. This new(ish) 'wholesale farming' of wild migratory birds run as a 'business enterprise' is the biggest problem, with the damage done by traditional bird sticking paling in comparrsion (though this does still have an effect and is itself illegal and to be condemed imo). |

the following story happenned in my family :oops:
my grandpa used those glue-sticks , and he had an argument with his son who is a fervent enviromentalist. its ofcource easier to argue against all the rest , but against your own father....
my uncle tried to generate some love-animal-feelings to my grandfather by saying :
- do you know how they get those birds? they get stuck on those glue sticks and then they close their mouth till they suffocate.
grandpas answer :
- oh my god! these people are inhuman!! all you need is to brake their neck. its easier
:shock: :shock: :oops: :opps: but also :lol: :lol: |

Same sort of thing happened when i was a kid and went with my uncle who catches them with nets and a tape recording like Erol said above but when it came to killing them i never expected what i saw......my uncle would grab one then put its head in his mouth and bite its neck in the process breaking it :shock: I did not get over that for a while but they are soooooooo tasty. :lol: :lol: |

It would be called bird-lime here. It must have been banned about 100 years ago in the UK! |

wel, it IS actually illegal in Cyprus as well.
There is a saying in German (probably exists in English as well): Where there is no prosecutor, there is no judge either.
In other words: noone really cares that it is illegal. :-( |
