We have this nest of baby sparrows in our barn. So cute! I love how they stick their little beaks out over the side of the nest just hoping for a bit of food. Every evening, after it cools off, we take our cats out into the fenced-in backyard (as opposed to their smaller "cat enclosure"). We know they could jump the fence and escape if they really wanted to so we only take them out there when we can sit out and supervise. But anyway, the adult sparrows see the cats come out and immediately start to congregate, tease, and dive-bomb which drives kitties crazy. So funny. The cats can't get to the barn, so the babies are safe.
All 4 kitties have gotten really used to their evening excursion out to explore the "big" yard. If we have made no move to head out by around 7 or so, Bitty, the most vocal of the group really lets us know about our mistake. I always find it interesting to see animals attuned to an inner time clock. Generally it involves food, but this is all about the fun. Its a nice little break to unwind anyway. We usually see a rabbit or 2, lots of birds, some frogs, a few lizards, and every once in a while we catch a glimpse of a couple of deer. We also have a bizarre looking red-headed woodpecker that makes an appearance in the big pecan tree. I wish I could get a picture of him.
