Good luck. -------- Original Message --------- My neighbor's cat has been successful in nabbing a couple of sparrows feeding on the spilled seed below the deck. Other than asking him to put a bell on the cat, what can I do to help make it harder for the cat to catch the birds? I'm noticing that the vinca is probably really good cover, so I suppose I should clear it from where the birds are feeding so they can't be stalked so closely. Other suggestions are welcome.
