[RP TownTalk] This N That n cats n birds

[Sue Collins]

I don't see too much of that where I live and I feed the birds every day; 
however, I know other people have problems.  I just hate to see cats running 
loose in an area where there's lots of traffic, I've seen far too many beautiful 
animal that were hurt or killed on the roadways.  Really a shame all the way 
around.  


RE my birds, believe it or not, I have more of a problem with predation by 
hawks; they look where my birds are feeding and probably think "oooh, goody, an 
all you can eat buffet!"   Hate to see it but hawks have to eat, too, and Mother 
Nature is not politically correct.

One aspect of this invasive species running loose that has not been raised is 
the predation of native song birds nest and young.

No I don't live with a cat, nor a bird. But I do enjoy the Jays and Cardinals 
that wander by, more effective then meds.
