I'll stick you in a cardboard box with a tea towel over your head if you really want!

Bird now in safe (I hope!) hands of Wythall Animal Sanctuary, who tell me they will pass it on to their wildlife people.

My cat never killed them - they were always alive and flying round the house!

Bells are cruel IMO, as I'm sure it would drive anyone mad to have a tinkling following then wherever they go! It's just nature for them to catch birds, they follow instinct and that's life.

It's not cats that have decimated bird populations - it's intensive farming and loss of habitats, as well as climate change to a certain extent.

My cats (one now dead) have only killed one bird, and maybe about three mice in the eight years I've had them. So it's hardly a lot.

Anyway, how is our bird this morning, that's what I want to know.

Cat owners say their lovely little pets don't kill, but in reality cats are mini tigers & they do kill far more often than their owners believe. If their is a bird near a cat it will try to kill it, it can't help it's its nature.

Garden birds are part of our natural habitat & yes there numbers have been reduced by intensive farming but that is only part of the story.

Cats are an introduced species & are not natural in UK & their are far to many of them & like it or not they desimate garden birds. A cat is basically a tiger , put a cat or two in a habitat of garden birds & you will see how quickly, birds cease to exist, due to little tigers, other wise known as cats.

I'm glad your birdie is ok.

Be thankful it wasn't a baby rabbit, which my cat likes to half-kill. He only ever bought one into the house though, which was truly awful because I had to 'deal with it'

I get lots of birds in my garden. Cats I've had have always just brought birds home alive and well and let them loose. Then gone to sleep :rolleyes:
