Judy, thank you for making one of the most important contributions to this discussion. The job you're doing is already a tough and largely thankless one, and feral cat hoarders are making it even harder.

The title held so much promise, "Birdology - Adventures with a Pack of Hens, a Peck of Pigeons, Cantankerous Crows, Fierce Falcons, Hip Hop Parrots, Baby Hummingbirds, and One Murderously Big Living Dinosaur". Wow, this sounded like it was going to be one interesting look into birds of all ki...
