nice time to bring the kittys out......they love scooping up those drunken birdies.........

[Servant of the 9]

I don't think they are getting drunk, I think tey are getting stoned.

Doesn't holly have psychotropic properties?

Birds shouldn't drink and fly.

I have cleaned off berry juice droppings from the house exterior, the patio, patio furniture and have revived stunned cedar waxwings that ran into the glass doors..I know the problem.

isn't there a dram shop case here for some enterprising attorney with PETA?

"Groundskeepers have tried to help the birds by putting tape on windows or nets over the holly trees to keep them from eating the berries, Mills said."

Why are we ALWAYS trying to foil the Darwinian tendencies of a species to eradicate itself? (Xn sarcasm)

"nice time to bring the kittys out......they love scooping up those drunken birdies........."

So we can sit around and laugh at wasted kitties?

We have doves that "graze" in our backyard...they bolt in panic whenever the local redtail hawk cruises by, and we must get our back windows (virtually the entire rear of our home is either window or slider) slammed into, leaving the feathery silhouette, 3 or 4 times a month.

Some male cardinals will attack their image in a window endlessly..
We also have the dove/ hawk problem at times.

Cedar Waxwing

I have seen these guys here in Central Texas lately. We don't see them often in our suburbs.

[reagan_fanatic]

LOL!! Why is that picture funny?

[taxesareforever]

I can see it now, a call to cut down all holly trees.

I live ~15 miles from the Malibu area in CA., on the other side of the coastal mountains. We have flocks of big, fat, aggressive seagulls that moved in and took over the airspace. Imagine a 5 pound chicken with 5+ foot wings. Those droppings are bigger than a CD. Even the blackbirds ran away.

I see both these and the Bohemian waxwing while trout fishing in the west (Colorado, Wyoming)...
