Honestly... i don't know what else to call them. Bermuda sparrows are the best. They are bold and brave and really funny!!
Last night we put some food down (inside) for one of the neighborhood cats. He's a pretty boy and we are calling him Clyde just because. Anyway.. it was chilly, wet, and windy last night. He was undecided about coming in but when i went to close the door he decided to slip on in. We put the food inside the lid to the cat food container. I just got home from the store and noticed there were ANTS all over the lid -- in the house!! Eeeek!! I tossed the food and brushed off the ants. They are so fast! Crisis solved for now.
During this there were 2 cats outside watching. Not Clyde. There are 3 cats that hang out. One was the ever elusive grey/white cat. The other was the black cat that's know's damn good and well that it wants to be petted. I grabbed the cat food dish and filled it. The grey/white cat ran off but the black cat hung around, knowing the sound of food being poured. He actually let me pet him!! But, ofcourse later on he acted like he had never seen me before unless maybe i kicked him one time. Turd.

So... after they left the food dish i heard someone chowin' down out there!! I mean CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH so i had to see who was out there. It was a sparrow *in the bowl* tossing and picking food! Right in the middle of the cat dish. What a dork! I managed to get a pic of him in the bowl but when he heard the camera snappin' he decided to sit on the edge of the bowl for awhile.
I love me some crazy animals!
*peace*

How did I know you would have a parade of cats outside your door already? I bet you used the spread-eagle bologna trick, didn't you, you little trickster! That brave (aka stupid) bird could very well become cat food itself if it's not careful.
Ahhhh...life on a island with captive birds.
Love,
