Oh please...the songbird issue with cats is such a fallacy. Please get informed...and don't quote from some bird society page. Look at mine for more info on why certain birds are dead. Blame pesticides, traffic, raccoons, urban sprawl, hurricane, and even more pesticides.

I’ve seen cats eating bird heads, squirrel heads, mouse heads, and had lots of presents as a child. I personally don’t care, but it has never been an epic problem and it never will be in my ‘hood.

"Blame pesticides, traffic, raccoons, urban sprawl, hurricane, and even more pesticides."Yes, and other birds, too. There are jays and cowbirds around here. Jays are very happy to eat baby birds in the nest. Cowbirds lay their eggs in other birds' nests, and their chicks hatch first and eat the other chicks.
We have gnatcatchers that nest over our garage door and raise a brood of cowbirds, two years in a row now, before they get to fledge their own brood later in the summer.
