We have an animal/pet columnist in our local paper who used to work at the Lindsay Wildlife museum, which rescues and rehabilitates birds and animals. He often tells touching or hilarious stories about his time rehabilitating birds. It's interesting to see what happens when animal instinct and the human environment interact.susan morrisonhttp://www.garden-chick.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-89282257252068099222010-03-30T18:31:59.461-07:002010-03-30T18:31:59.461-07:00Thanks for highlighting Flyaway.

I have a few mounted on posts in my garden. The one by my pond is used the most. A couple are on the fence posts. I've had wrens start nests there, but never stayed. I think most birds like some privacy so a house further from the house is good, but then I've had them make a nest in a hanging basket right by my front door.Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-41804281749596047762010-03-30T13:48:53.484-07:002010-03-30T13:48:53.484-07:00Catherine, This sounds like my kind of book.

They would hang out under the bird feeders and I would cringe when I saw them catch a bird for dinner. I could not blame the poor cats as they were only hungry. I soon tamed the cats and took them to the Vet to have them spayed. They never went outside again! Now our neighbors cat OJ visits us but I try to keep him away from the birds. I really wish they would keep him inside but I do love that cat visiting me in the garden…Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-25749061870233833502010-03-30T10:49:08.061-07:002010-03-30T10:49:08.061-07:00What a good book review, I love books about animal...What a good book review, I love books about animals! I am a bird lover too, both of my current cats are indoor cats, although one of them would very much like to be an outdoor cat. I'm trying to make my garden bird-friendly too, with all the native berry-bearing shrubs I'm planting. <br /><br />I'm wondering if you have a lot of birdhouses, and how you have them mounted? I have several, but I am trying to figure out where to put them, how to mount them and on what, how far apart they need to be, etc. Have you done a blog post on birdhouses?Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-14314718263464636932010-03-30T10:21:18.196-07:002010-03-30T10:21:18.196-07:00That sounds like a book I would be very interested...That sounds like a book I would be very interested in reading Catherine. You did a great job on the review. And you reminded me of the time that the stray cat that was living in our garden at the time dropped a hummingbird at my feet. Thank goodness, the hummingbird was only stunned and I was able to hold it for a few minutes, while taking around to the other side of the house to release it, out of the way of the cat.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09993407315693699146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-44438874085139031332010-03-30T10:10:43.419-07:002010-03-30T10:10:43.419-07:00What a great book review.
