Specifically outside birds.

I have a small gap where the concrete and siding meet. I found this out the hard way since three starlings (I think they're starlings anyhow) got in. This normally wouldn't have been a big deal and I would have just caught them and let them go except.

Starling #1 decided it was going to land in the slider pond and get a drink. My 14" female decided she just got a snack. I got to find out that Pondmaster 190s don't get feathers out of the water.

I at one point as a favor took in a few Zebra Finches.

Starlings #2 and #3 found the cage I built and managed somehow get into the cage. The two zebra males were none too thrilled about this, and however happened to be about half the size of the starlings. They didn't survive the encounter. The two females were smart enough to go hide in the nest box.

One of the starlings. we'll say #2 must have managed to get injured enough by the zebras that it ended up dying in the koi pond. I learned that filter doesn't get out bird feathers out of the water either.

Starling #3 met it's demise at the hands of Methuzela Kitty. My 22 year old ancient cat that refuses to die. I learned that cats don't seem to eat feathers either.

So did I mention I hate outside birds? I'm gonna add feathers to that list too, I think.

I'm sorry to hear about the Zebra Finches.

haha i hate birds to, noisy lil bastards lol

Yep not too fond of birds here either...Some are pretty but..........

Except for ducks, I've never really cared for birds much either. I took in the finches as a favor. My vet friend got stuck with some 40 or so of them, and over the last 6 months or so they grew on me.

The two remaining females are all wiggy now, and I'm thinking I may need to get at least one male after I reinforce and rebuild their cage.
