Bat-biter Ozzy, who suffers tremors from Parkinson’s, said blasting an air rifle outside his LA home was “good fun”.

He added: “It gets me out of my head, man. When I am in my house, I worry I never am going to walk properly.

“When I first started this thing, I could not shoot. Now there’s dead cats (and) birds every minute.”

Ozzy told a radio station his dogs had kept him “sane” in lockdown. Asked what they do when he starts shooting, he replied: “They f*** off.”

Despite his love of dogs, Ozzy has a troubled history with animals.

He bit off a bat’s head on stage in 1982, ate part of a dove in 1981 and snorted a row of ants to simulate cocaine on tour.

Apologising previously, he said: “I’ve done a lot of stupid things, but you learn by your mistakes.”
