Well, that's a constructive idea! Thanks.

Hee, hee. And we have a good supply of that particular product. The
thing is, for their own safety, we keep that cats indoors at night.
They go out only after we have got up . . . which is not as early as the
blackbirds are about their business!

Get a cat flap and the cat will bring you fresh blackbird for breakfast.
Ophelia will provide a recipe for Blackbird Pie.

Well Cat tastes like Rabbit, so how about 'Rabbit Pie'?
I encourage the birds into our gardens, so you know what I would rather
have.

Oh, we love birds, Mike, don't get me wrong. The more the better and
they do root around all over the garden. We seem rich in worms here,
probably due to the effluent from the septic tank dispersing under the
ornamental garden! Anyway, they're welcome to forage around all over,
but in this particular little spot . . . I ain't 'aving it! :-)
