Can I get an owl for a pet?
And do you think it would get along with my cats (they are old but frisky)?

@Grunt: That’s obvious, they eat Yaupon Holly berries. Not your best tasting berry, you know.

For the record, Cedar Waxwings do not taste good.

@ Nancy – seen any Purple Martins yet? We had a pair scoping out our gourds last weekend.

That’s a little too “The Birds” for me…but I do have those little berries in my bushes out front, I was going home to see if they are still covered…I am wondering now if I should make my own recession ****tail out of them!

Yes, they get “drunk” on the berries. Close your curtains or they will fly into them and die. Seriously.

I don’t know anything about the sexual orientation of cedar waxwings, but when they descended on the bush in our back yard and cleaned out the red berries, they seemed to be having a high old time.
