The Nature of the Beast
It's feed-the-birds season, so I spent some time on Sunday resurrecting the bird feeders: a tower o'peanuts, some fat balls and the table for scraps. Mr Sandwich the rook, or jackdaw depending on who's dropping bread on my garden, will be delighted.
To make this fair on the birds I also got Bel a bell. She reacted by pulling her best disgusted face but it's supposed to help reduce birdy carnage. After all, this isn't bait.
Today I come home to a carpet full of feathers, one little foot, and some red jibbly bits. Bell, schmell.

That said, Kheldar managed to catch a fine specimen of a pigeon whilst wearing a bell. I think we've also come to an agreement about not bringing prey into the house, although that could just be because swallows his whole and there's nothing left to bring in...

Why not go the whole way and add a drum machine? And a collar-mounted webcam so that you don't miss out on the fun ;)

Positively reviewed in 'Conservation'. I think my cat would leave home.

If there was a Hello Kitty Catbib, it might be a different matter...
