Real estate dispute



Since I have purchased the bird bath there has been a real estate dispute in the backyard. The male robin believes the bird bath is his sole property. The sparrows and chickadees think this isn't fair. They sometimes dive-bomb the robin as he perches on the edge of the bird bath. The robin then tries to peck at the smaller birds and then pushes them back to the other side of the yard. The robin does concede that the bird feeder belongs to the littler birds. But the littler birds are too afraid to stay for long. We'll see how the real estate dispute really pans out as the summer progresses. Either way all the birds enjoy Frisco's dutiful cat chasing escapades with the neighbor's cat.

Funny, the robin must be like a mockingbird! Now there's been a eastern cottontail bunny visiting our backyard.
