Great count! It is true that not all cats are after birds - I never knew Jasper to take a bird in his entire 17 years... however, he DID bother the native lizards and rodents. I was happy when he did for the rat which visited. Not so pleased which his possum coup... He wore a bell, though, so most of his hunting was exercise without reward for him. I also knew where he was at all times! YAM xx
Is there a pear tree in your garden? Love those birds on the feeders.
No pear tree, Jean. A horse chestnut tree beyond the feeders!
Wishing you a safe and happy season my dear Jenn <3 Aloha
The birds know where the food is good.
The cats know where all the comfortable sleeping spots are.
That was a good bird count. My bird count is Dec. 23.
Enjoyed the video, they look well fed!
Lovely to watch the birds.
All the best Jan
