Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2004Got it!
Remember I posted about a robin that flies into the utility room and helps itself to the dry catfood from Waffles's bowl? Have a look at http://uk.f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/wafflycat/detail?.dir=/c59d&.dnm=697a.jpg The bird shows very little fear of me. If I'm in the utility room loading up the washing machine with laundry, it hops about *just* on the outside, watching me and offering me various avian vocalisations which I think mean something along the lines of "Hurry up and get out of there, I want to eat!" Then as soon as my back is turned it flies in and helps itself.

Indeed :-) My house is attractive to the local wildlife - Francis has just brought in a live vole a few minutes ago. It is now running about the kitchen and I am quite out of breath trying to catch it and release it before Francis re-catches it and does not release it, so to speak...

He doesn't seem to be bothered to move about too much. Sometimes he just flops down after a few paces and looks totally exhausted.

He does "give the ear" on various occasions and in various meanings. Sometimes when he's watching something more interesting outside (= birdies) and just turns the ears to kinda acknowledge like "yea, yea, I heard you, but not now, OK?". Another one is when he's "not going to deign *that* with a response". Or like in the carpet pic where he "holds back" DH's "help", like a hoomin would hold up his hand to stop someone else from interfering, etc. SignatureChristine in Vantaa, Finland christal63 (at) yahoo (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 Laku: DS B G 4.11 Y L W C+ I+++ T++/- A+ E H+ S+ V++ F Q+ P- B PA PL in article 20040705064248.12089.00001276@mb-m01.aol.com, dirtylitterboxofferingstospammers at wafflycathcs@aol.comcomcom wrote on 7/5/04 5:42AM: > Remember I posted about a robin that flies into the utility room and helps > itself to the dry catfood from Waffles's bowl?

When I sit out on my patio, I have Carolina Chicadees fly up and practically *dare* me to disturb them when they are eating from my suet feeder.

Here's another suggestion: Are you familiar with "Birds & Blooms" magazine? Your photo is excellent, and I think you could get your photo and a short accompanying story published there.

Ours in Minnesota (unless my memory is ver faulty) have no red around the beak, and the entire breast and underside is red (no white at all.) Of course, IIRC, bluejays in the American midwest are crested (as are cardinals) but California bluejays are not. >How interesting!

I've so often heard the term "Robin Redbreast" and wondered as all the Robins I've ever seen had breast feathers that were at best a dull orange.
