Ours does his/hers whisting kettle act in the fuchsia just outside the
window near the computer - when he's not imitating a hummingbird! I've
been know to keep the camera handy.

Bifcus - I don't think we saw any this summer in the mulberry tree. We
didn't see any mulberries either; the mynahs got the lot! And the
blackbirds the nashis ans some of the tomatoes. Useless cat! (but he
