My wife got headhunted out of our company a few years ago. They have a falcon nest on the top floor. She works in the building on the first floor. Live streamed all year, they often bring treats for the young ones once they are hatched.
We have some visitors in our fire pit
7 and I have seen mom in the last few days, all eyes are open and they are all alert! The house hound is CLUELESS and hasnāt sniffed them yet. He has seen mom one night running out of the yard. He will now be supervised but I donāt think he would do anything.
And just like that, they are gone.
Yesterday we only counted 4 with no signs of a struggle. This morning none. They have moved onto the rest of the grass, and that means Iām gonna have to keep an eye out from on top of the tractor when mowing.
I was also told that our house hound isnt broken (I mean he is, he is a failed hunting dog and thats why we got him), but that when they are that young they dont have a sent yet, or at least one that he would be able to smell.
We have a few windows that have bird collision problems. We have bird decals to reduce the strikes. Usually the only birds that regularly strike them are Crossbills and Varied Thrush. Yesterday a Red Tail hit with a small bird in itās talons, dropped to the deck stunned, but shortly took off with prey in tow. First time Iāve had a BIG bird strike and it was LOUD!
Pumpkin looks so cozy, but is he still alive after missing so many feedings?
Aaaand now you have a bonus reason to check that thereās nothing but clothes in those!
I have one of mine busy ignoring several cat beds and a human bed in the room with me and sleeping on my clothes and/or a completely uncomfortable piece of furniture not intended for cats to be on. Iām tempted to put a cat tree there, but then I worry about a āI have the high groundā attack formation situation.
Dumb human, what did YOU think this machine was for??
Just let me know if you have any questions about other places and their proper usage.
Every year we have sparrows that nest in a gutter at the store. When the babies hatch out the blue jays and crows eat them. The crows are too big to reach in, so the blue jays do that. And the crows catch any they drop.
Wish those sparrows would wise up.
Nah.. He is sending a very clear message.
āGet me a cat wheel now or Iāll get into anything that resembles one.ā
Unfortunately his dumb human didnāt get the cue⦠![]()
I wonder if my boys would use one of those cat wheels�??
They take up too much space and would be a big waste of $ if they didnāt use it.
Eddie could use it. Getting a little chub. Not easy with 2 cats, with very different eating habits. I have to hide Ollieās wet food and bring it out from time to time for him to graze on it, otherwise Eddie would gobble it all up instantly.
I have a sheer rock wall (cliff) above a pond with 30ft waterfall feature. Top of the wall is thorny bramble that white crown sparrows love to build protective nests low to the ground. The babies leave the nest and sometimes fall straight down in the pond so Iām constantly looking at the pond to rescue the inexperienced fliers. ![]()
Or maybe heās been seeing those litter robot ads, and itās a different kind of threat.
