| 757617 | 2009-03-18 22:49:00 | We have noticed that the birds in our backyard require longer runways, in their take-off efforts, after feasting on the fruit of our two pear trees . They must be some of the best fed birds in the country . Unfortunately, their increased weight makes them sluggish and easy prey for the local feline fraternity . In some other cases the starlings have been too busy, fighting each other for their bounty, to notice the patient pussycats . Many birds do not seem to mind green pears and eat them on the trees . I love my pears and have frozen many kilograms but I fear the blackbirds, starlings and sparrows have eaten as much as I have frozen . |
