One of our feeders is just outside our big kitchen window. Our cats sit for hours watching and being very entertained. Have you ever heard a cat charm a bird. My cat, Taylor, made little warbleing sounds when he saw birds. Course he was always inside and they were out so I don't know if it really works. Our cats now don't do that.
We had to put a large plastic collar that dogs wear after surgery around the post under our bluebird house a couple of years ago because our Himilian/Calico, Shuggy, could climb up and turn the door latch and help herself. before we found that solutuin we called that birdhouse the "Shuggy Snack Dispenser". She was quitye a profiscent hunter.We kept a Kill Count of all the carnage she left us on the back porch. She now is retired indoors.
Last Friday I go a real treat when a couple of woodpeckers came to the kitchen window feeder.
If my bones and joints can predict the weather we are in for a mess. I hurt so bad I think I will go to bed where a heating pad is waiting already warmed up. Night for now all.
