Re: ok- this is just unbelievable

Kitty: Our local vet has taken it upon himself to trap, neuter, and
release as many of these animals as he can and bears the cost himself to
his practice of doing so. Of course, this is a farming community so
there is no end to the roaming cat problem...it just goes on and on,
generation after generation. Kind of irritating to someone who grew up
in the city and is used to purely indoor housecats.

Auralie: Thanks for the info. I guess it just surprises me because
our<br>> little town has a rather large colony of feral cats and it
doesn't seem<br>> very safe to me...but I'm not a bird so how do I know?
They come back to<br>> the exact same spot year after year, so I guess
they know something I<br>> don't. :-)<br>><br>><br>><br>> Melody<br>>

Subject: Re: [CHAT] ok- this is just unbelievable<br>><br>> Melody, the
Donald Stokes book on Bird Behavior says that<br>doves<br>> sometimes
(rarely) nest on the ground. Ground-nesters<br>are common<br>> among
shore birds and in arctic areas - not too<br>many trees in those<br>>
locations. Certain other birds, notably<br>Quail and Northern
Harriers<br>> regularly nest on the ground in<br>open fields. Just like
people, you<br>> can't make generalizations<br>about
birds.<br>Auralie<br><br>In a<br>> message dated 04/25/2005 10:55:30 PM
