“Interesting article. The number of song birds killed; is that a count just in Portland? or is it world wide? And what percentage of total song birds does that number represent? I have three cats and care for them dearly. But they have a job, and that is to keep down the rodent population. They come in for breakfast, and if the weather is warm, return outside for the day. If it is cold, they stay in for the night. They bring us presents all the time. Dead field mice, dead kangaroo mice, even dead weasels and snakes, onto our front step and deck. We are totally inundated with birds, doves, robins, quail, blackbirds, swallows, sparrows, and that is only the little bird population. Very seldom do I find a dead bird at my front door.”
