Grevilleas, bird hedges and the neighbours

T

This little gray tabby and white puss watched on as I planted a grevillea hedge to screen the fence and bring in the birds. Don't think there will be a dinner in it for this sleepy feline or the white one which nervously watched, ran away, came back and finally couldn't stand the strain anymore and was gone. Our own brown bomber has been sneaking up on pigeons and doves and other birds for years when they come to the water bowls on the ground. Never gets within coo-ee. The Indian Mynahs really drive him nuts as they shriek alarm calls while he strolls up the yard, hissing and cat-swearing in total frustration. Birds don't have bird-brains but finely honed survival instincts.
