I’m right here with you Susan. Even bought a mister for the birds. LOL>

I agree it depends on the cat. One of our ferals who I never deemed a threat was high up in one of my bushes today…no doubt up to no good!

[Lisa]

I moved my house with complete nest all the way across the yard yesterday, then decided it wasn’t ideal. They got right back in like nothing happened.

I’m thinking if I mount it so that the snakes climb right into the Krueger I will be OK….

Gin’s video just scared me to pieces. I hope it works with the Krueger trap.

WBU.com has a wobbling raccoon baffle on their website. About to order. Will let you know how easy it is to install. I have their pole so that may make a difference.

I used to feel that way about the cardinals. They are beautiful and I wish them no harm but when snakes got my blues I wondered why they didn’t get the cardinals who are such an easier target? Truth is they probably get them too but there are so many I wouldn’t notice…..

[Lisa]

THat’s so scary!!!

[Lisa]

I hope it works! Please let us know!

I really do notice that the neutered cat colony we maintain does not bother my birds.

[Lisa]

I like cats, too, but mine are never ever allowed outside! That is the only way to be a responsible cat owner, imho!

[Lisa]

And for me, snakes are my issue. A rat snake can climb that baffle in no time. It’s always something!

[Lisa]

Thanks! That was my gut! The blues are so used to it I would be shocked if they rejected it!

[Lisa]

Not saying I think cats are OK, but that unfortunately they are part of what we must deal with in protecting our beloved blues. I have 3 cats and they are never ever allowed outside. The irresponsible “cat ladies” who allow ferals to decimate our birds are the bane of my existence!

[Lisa]

Believe me, I know the feral cat threat is real. It’s just that when they are properly managed, neutered and fed, their numbers dwindle like crazy and they leave my birds alone.
