Cat TV (new bird feeder)
Now that I'm finally settled in I got a new bird feeder. It's hanging on a
shepherd's hook near my back patio. Persia is getting the full benefit of "cat TV". Carolina chickadees dart in and out as if this is an international airport. Gosh they're quick! The tuftted titmice are making themselves quite at home. I've got a pair of mated cardinals visiting. There's a pair of Carolina wrens nesting in the gardenia bush in Lynn's yard so they come over to eat and often get into fights with each other. http://animals.nationalgeographic.co...olina-wren.jpg They look like teenage girls who went a little too crazy with the white eyeliner They're cute, cheeky and also very loud. I get the occasional large blue jay. I hung a thistle sock because according to all the bird charts I've read I should be able to attract various finches, including the gorgeous American Goldfinch. I used to see them all the time at my nyjer feeder back in TN. So far there are no takers here. Anyway, Persia's going nuts over seeing the birds at the feeder. She loves it. Yes, it's Cat TV! Apparently it's my TV, too. And I didn't even have to worry about digital Jill |

So many that the cats have become bored with the "same show" on "all the time"... sigh The dogs seem to appreciate them, however it is only when the squirrels (tree Timmies) are at them, or rabbits (ground Timmies) are feeding on the shoots that sprout up underneath... -- ^..^ This is Kitty.

Cat TV (new bird feeder)
My cats ignore the birds even though I have a very active hummingbird
feeder within four feet of the platform at the top of the large scratching post. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |
