Folks, If you want to give them a boost, cheap canned salmon or mackerel and a boiled egg yolk are your friends.

Thanks, Bob. Will try that & see how she goes.

Is she an old girl? I had in mind she was maybe 1 or 2 years old.

She's about 18 months. Maybe a bit less. I got her POL last August.

Remember that wire cage I picked up on the side of the road? Well look what I “caught” in it today... I have NO idea how they managed to get in there... I mean the doors are flapped down even... and one on each side if you can believe!? Two baby mockingbirds... after we let them out you could tell they were just trying out their wings... if I tried to catch them.. it would never have happened

Sometimes the chooks capture a pigeon in the upturned plastic milk crate that serves as a feeding platform. I've never seen them do it, but I presume two of them hold it up while the third coaxes a pugeon underneath, then gotcha! They drop the crate over the pigeon And do a victory dance Hehehe

That’s funny! Could you imagine!? Just picture that

Are the little mockingbirds ok?

Well!!! Didn't I put the cat among the pigeons [or chooks, as the case may be!] Tonight's dinner was late due to sons & sandstone & boats & tides & wanting a small tin of salmon for my poorly girl, Namaste. I had the foresight to open the tin & bring a teaspoon with me & to have food ready in all my other tubs but even so I was mobbed ~ by everyone except the one girl I wanted. I eventually managed to grab her ~ & OH BOY!!!! THANK YOU, @Bob. The girl hoed down tossing bits here, there & everywhere, which were immediately pounced upon by her less fortunate sisters.

Meanwhile Lottie was scuttling round really put out & being fended off every single feed station! My girls are unbelievably greedy little pigs! As soon as Namaste had finished I grabbed my handful of feed & Lottie came running immediately, hopped up on my fist & started scoffing. Then Luna found the teaspoon with salmon oil & ran off with it pursued by the entire flock desperate to scoff a teaspoon! It was a circus out there tonight. And I thought cats were bad when it comes to routine!
