Re: Mockingbirds



I imagine that the cat and dog can take care of themselves.  If it comes to
it, you might remind your friend that harassing or injuring mockingbirds is
prohibited by federal law, and, yes, this applies to her; there are very
good reasons for it.  The dog and cat are obviously not native species, and
they are invading the mockingbirds' territory, not the other way around.
Outdoor cats kill one billion birds per year in this country alone.
