This week our heroes talk about Lewis' bird week, and he has some great stories about Swans in UK and Mourning Magpies, while Robbie has trawled through the news for some tid bits of animal oddities.

Lewis has been ice skating with his kids and is struggling every time he moves because of sore muscles while Robbie hasn't stopped running except to eat ice-creams in the surf.

An update is given on the recall of the ADVANCE Dermocare dry food and the possible link to 74 dogs a...
