I love the drama you can watch with birds. Bigger birds scare off smaller ones, small ones fight for a place at the feeder, mothers feeding their chicks etc. Saw two pigeons humping on our garden wall till I drove them off (we're a good Catholic family here, we'll have none of that thank you!), baby magpie checking out the garden before being called up into the neighbour's tree by its parents. Nothing quite as sad as seeing the little birds coming down to feed and finding the feeders empty, so that means out I go with seed, and quite funny to watch the cats totally disapprove of birds in their garden.

If you let your cats in your garden and there is a nest nearby you might see your cat attacked by the birds.

Millie has taken one or two down, Ritchie (god rest his soul) once brought one into the house and ran upstairs with it. Luckily it was still alive and I was able to get it out the window. Eddie once allegedly killed a pigeon or magpie (forget which) but I feel he just found it and sat beside it, all proud and Shark Tale-like, pretending he had killed it.

They've been attacked by magpies. Those dudes don't fear nothing. I watched two of them buzz and hassle a huge Alsatian dog in her garden. ****ing funny, even if I felt sorry for the dog, who is a real gentle creature.
