I feed the birds and the Sparrow Hawks and the Cats are always killing them. A Sparrow Hawk got a tame pigeon yesterday and, after years of this happening, I still get upset by it. We know it's natures way but that doesn't make you feel any better. I worked at a garage where a Sparrow Hawk used to take out pigeons on a regular basis. Not that you ever saw them, boy can them buggers shift . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longcol Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 In our garden in France we used to have two pairs of collared doves visit the garden regularly. We christened one pair "Lovey and Dovey" and the other pair "Bill and Coo". Like most collared doves they don't have a nesting / breeding season - and they used to be at it like hammer and tongs on our verandah fence most of the year. Then they'd make a rather pathetic attempt at building a nest on top of one of the beams (about three pieces of twig) and lay an egg which wouls inevitably roll off or get blown off due to lack of nest. Anyhow, woke up last week to find a mass of feathers on the lawn so guessing that one of the six or so cats that regularly visit our garden had dove for breakfast. Doves are pretty dim - the cats have never laid a paw on the dozens of other birds - blue tits, great tits, marsh tits, chaffinches, nuthatches etc that use our feeder. The favourite game of the birds is to go into the big cherry tree. Invariably about once a week one of the cats will climb up. The birds will hop out to the outermost twigs - cat will follow until gravity takes over. They still land on their feet though. Favourite memory in cats v birds is when we lived in Sheffield and had a big black cat, very affectionate but totally dim - watching him stalking birds on the lawn in the snow and then looking totally bemused as to how he had been spotted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressida Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I have a bottle of soapy liquid and blow soap bubbles at the cats, they look mesmerised but don't move away, they used to climb on top of an aviary all the time until the owners moved house - they never caught any of the birds, just there to scare them,.

Must try that - they're getting used to the water pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
