    I'm afraid I won't be able to identify the bird until you get it out of the cat.
  • I don't know much about birds, but i'm pretty sure that it's not a pigeon.

    Are you sure it's a bird?
    I had one growing in my garden.

    I have the greater fluffeared variety of one of them. Plus a brown striped cabbage white muncher and a fatter bottomed garden wall defender.

    Do many people have these unusual creatures and bird tables? I wondered because I have a newbuild garden and although the buglife is making its way in, I was reluctant to encourage birds if the hooligans are going to cause too many problems in a small walled garden? (they are thick as mulch, so the odds of actually getting something is limited)
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    And not the scaredy felix type, perhaps stop with the bacon rind and fat balls :-)
