cats don't get'em?

the door is blocked with plywood and a large mesh wire...as soon as we saw the nest we took anti cat precautions.,....so for 2 weeks the cats live inside

i found clark.....sniffing around the shed....you could see that look.....he smells baby birds....so we have double the effort to keep the cats in...this is always a hard season on the cats....being in all day and night

The one with its mouth open looks like it expects a gift from the visitor.

I think the fortressing and imprisonment may count as racism against cats....

 

[strollingbones]

they are locked out not in ....lol

If you're going to cook them, best to do it pretty soon while they are good and tender and not so many feathers to pluck out... Baby birds and scrambled eggs, yum, yum...

It was kind of like a scary sci fi/horror flick! I kept expecting something horrible to happen! The parents kept getting smaller and smaller..and the babies kept getting bigger and scarier...and those mouths!!
