You know, I'l thinking that "get a cat and let it roam unfettered around
the yard" probably isn't the ecologically responsible solution that
Trevor's contact is after.

Years ago we bought a house in Albury which had a large garden full of
Blackbirds, they were all over the place. The vendors didn't have a cat,
but we did.  Within weeks of moving in the Blackbirds had virtually
disappeared from that garden. We now live in Mulgoa, have no cat, but
the neighbours introduce one from time to time, and the number of
Blackbirds seems inversely related to the presence of cats. It was
salutory lesson; cats and birds don't mix.
