Christopher Searle had 21 dead birds stored in jars and 16 live wild birds at his home in Braunton, Devon.

He also admitted a charge of not providing the wild birds with a suitable environment and a similar charge relating to two doves, seven hens, a cockerel, two cockatiels and two pigeons.

Searle further admitted a charge of possessing four drop traps and a spring trap and two charges of not providing a rabbit and a pigeon with an adequate diet.

He said his client had suffered from mental illness for the past 40 years and asked magistrates to allow time for a pre-sentence report to be done.

Magistrates agreed and the case has been adjourned until April 11.

The birds found in his possession included greenfinches, chaffinches, a bullfinch, a goldfinch, a woodpecker and a song thrush.

You heard it right, rare birds have been put into a jail in Northern Ireland in an attempt to prevent them from going extinct.

The environment they have been put into is a nice safe place for the birds to roam around without being threatened by predators, also there is plenty of insects for the birds to eat, it is a secure natural environment for the birds, having rich soil that has not used any chemical’s.

This method to secure the birds has proven to be successful in the past, and has saved the Lapwings once before and now it must do it again.
