I have ground gophers - I can't really hang anything for them, but this looks like it's a great trap for hanging in the trees for the nasty squirrels.
I'm thinking you might want to put the pigeons on the flowers. I'm imagining something like an army of Vikings riding miniature horses, not very intimidating

Cool - I am as well. As long as I'm amusing someone besides myself, Kitty Watch 2017 shall continue.
I sleep on two pillows (a firm one and a squishy one on top), and a firm pillow is next to me on the bed. Night before last, there happened to be a gap between that other pillow and the headboard, and at some point in the night I woke up to find Brooke RIGHT THERE, inches from me, just hanging out (she left a little while later). So last night I made sure to leave the pillow the same way, and sure enough, two nights in a row she has come to visit me. During the evening I have also caught her out more, and she's slowing getting to where she doesn't freak out and run immediately.
Opal has been more playful, and is more confident that I'm not a threat (not that she lets me really close). She hung out on the lower part of one of the cat trees near the bed while I read last night, and when I woke up to the crowing this morning, she was on the tippy top of the tallest tree, waiting for the sun to rise. This morning I found that she has also discovered the artificial christmas tree that I leave up year round and was sitting in the branches - I had forgotten about the value of that as a cat playground!
They seem to at least have an understanding, and last night sat side by side and stared at me from the other room while I settled into bed. Brooke has occasionally scratched the carpet - she stops when I say "Brooke, stop scratching the carpet" - but I think I need another scratching post in the other part of the house that she can use if she doesn't want to be near me.
I'm a quiet person and have a very quiet house, and since they've come, I haven't been running the TV or stereo (use headphones), so I think this has helped. I'm dreading having to take them to the vet (Brooke is due for her rabies shot, so I have to) - I'll probably have to rebuild trust all over again. But I'm waiting for a little while until they at least get comfortable that this is their home (even if they don't like me after the vet).

Good morning!!! Thanks, MC! I needed that!
Oh, goodness, look at the time - I've gotta take care of the chicks and then run. Have a great day, all!!!

I did have two cats that would drape themselves across my body while I slept. The older one liked to hang over my left shoulder throughout the day. And, of course they liked when I was in the bathroom. On my lap if the door was open. Or peeking in the shower. Paw under the door if it was closed.
