I cried as I laid traps, I didn't want to kill him, just for him to get the idea that it was no place for him and he should get out of dodge fast. Must have worked as he's never been seen since!

But I did enjoy watching birds slip & slide in the contents of tinned spaghetti bolognaise! @Judy - So I believe.
