That has got to be the biggest sparrow... (non-cat)


Look what visited our feeder today? Rover didn't spot it because I bundled him
into the kitchen with some smelly-fish food when I went to get the camera.


Maybe I should be sad that it's a grey, but I do love wildlife of (almost) any sort that
ventures this close to me.

lol
what a funny looking bird that is!!!

I lvoe your window feeder, where did you find that? I read somewhere that having a window feeder can entertain cats by watching the visiting birds, but without the cats getting them.

RSPB has them, but you can find them elsewhere as well. Got them through the RSPB because I'm a member/supporter and because they also sell husk-free seed, so there is less of a mess. Well... if a squirrel doesn't dig through them to find the best ones.

Make sure you put it somewhere where they cats will come to no harm when they fling themselves at the birds, hit window, fall down, go boom. Also leave some nice big toys or a kitchen paper-towel roll (half full) to take out agression on, since all that excitement and energy has to go somewhere and you don't want it taken out on furniture or other cats.

Gotta love 'em!!!

I had one that completely demolished my wire peanut dispenser . . . used to hang upsidedown off the branch and rip the dispenser apart with its teeth.
