Birds apparently have identified my back yard as a safe area. I just looked out and saw a mourning dove, bluejay, blackbird and a couple of speckled brown birds leisurely feeding in the grass that I mowed yesterday (I've had a frost-free winter in my part of Texas). My indoor cat talks to the birds thru a window screen. A cat imitating a bird is a bizarre sound, but it seems to work as I've seen birds remain in close proximity even though they can see the cat. Male cardinals (the red ones -- females are brown) are very territorial and will attack a mirror if they see their own reflection. I once set up an old mirror in the back yard, and like clockwork each morning a male cardinal would show up to do battle with itself.
