Zeity, not a lot of people know this

What was used in Roman times was a stick with a sponge on it that you would purchase as you entered the loo. Unless you were poor when you'd reuse someone elses. If you got it passed to you in an unfriendly way you'd get the tulipty end of the stick...

We still do that in Bucks.

Nice hawk anecdote. What happened to it then?

Oh, can we do 'buggered' as well?

Birds of prey defacate from their mouths as well as the normal ends. What comes out the mouth will be a ball with the bones, skin and other undigestible stuff all rolled up nice and tight.

Buggered = Bulgarian. In olden days people had some strange ideas about the methods of procreation of peoples from other countries.

Threaded knows better that I, but I guess you would hood them and put them back in the falconry till they got hungry again.

I went to a bird of prey display near Penrith and the guy there had an Eagle owl. His daughters hedgehog went missing one day and they found the spines neatly bundled in an Eagle owl poo a few days later.

I went to a falconry display in Hertfordshire a few years ago. They very proudly brought out the star of the show, a Golden Eagle. After a 5 minute spiel about the bird and how hard it was to fly it because of it's size and strength they set up to fly it from one handler to another.

The first handler started swinging the bait to get the birds attention and the second one gave it a heave up to give it a hand into the air.

The bird took off, gave a couple of flaps and soared majestically accross the display ground.

It then flew clean over the head of the handler with the bait, over the fence behind him and proceeded to sieze, kill and eat one one of the lambs in the field beyond that were part of the kiddies "meet the farm animals show".

That deserves a QI style siren, if it was to describe 'getting the tulipy end of a stick' then maybe.

I believe the most reasonable answer is a walking stick which is held upside-down which doesn't help in the way it was intended.
