How aw...Sorry I haven't been here in a while. <br /><br />How awful about the cat; people are so inconsiderate when they abandon animals or neglect to get them spade.<br /><br />The sketch of Tripod is fantastic, I can't believe it's felt pen as you've got such a depth of tones. I like the start on the coyote too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511653763073963362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-8527041856002065542011-06-28T16:35:32.654-02:302011-06-28T16:35:32.654-02:30The parakeets are adorable!

Normal cats don't usually kill a swath like that in prey, you really are going to have to deal with him, it sounds like aberrant behaviour. <br />I've been admiring your coyote sketch and Tripod's too.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438049904759575799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-24125140835567753592011-06-28T09:11:05.696-02:302011-06-28T09:11:05.696-02:30Love your little birds and glad you can keep an ey...Love your little birds and glad you can keep an eye on Tripod :) I think it's wrong to let cats roam - we have a few in our neighborhood and it hurts when I see one (also black) romping over the yards, baby bird in mouth!!! If they are "pets" then they should be treated as pets. Hope you come to a conclusion that will save the rest of the turkeys.RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-64930564903912530382011-06-28T00:07:47.591-02:302011-06-28T00:07:47.591-02:30The robin's egg blue parakeet on the right loo...The robin's egg blue parakeet on the right looks like one I had as a child, named "The Blue Tango"! He talked and whistled and sounded exactly like whoever he mimicked!<br />We used to raise chickens and had problem with hawks, fox and dogs, so I understand your cat problem - but that's strange that one cat could do so much damage. Good luck.debwardarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05225105239355671724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-26345463232963480372011-06-27T22:41:02.218-02:302011-06-27T22:41:02.218-02:30Yes, there are many animals that don't get alo...Yes, there are many animals that don't get along. However, Tripod so far is doing ok with them. Touch wood.<br /><br />It is frustrating Hedera. we're trying to contact the cat's owner now to find out what action they are willing to take. It may be a long shot but you never know.<br /><br />Yes there may well be budgie sketches before long. :)<br /><br />I know its hard to control cats wandering, not all are indoor animals, especially in the country. I'll try the easy route first.<br /><br />Yes, the colours in these birds are lovely, very soft and delicate. I see a watercolour in their future...Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-45969268100639693512011-06-27T20:16:28.977-02:302011-06-27T20:16:28.977-02:30hopefully you can trap the black cat, better fate ...hopefully you can trap the black cat, better fate then the shot gun but understandable if that is what happens. <br /><br />i wish more people would fix their cats, would go a long way in helping with the stray problems. <br /><br />your new budgies are very pretty :) going to show up in some drawings like tripod has?Jennifer Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528908250338974537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-44394845128727952942011-06-27T04:54:35.277-02:302011-06-27T04:54:35.277-02:30I'm sorry to hear about the turkeys Jeanette a...I'm sorry to hear about the turkeys Jeanette and sad to think about the likely fate of the culprit... a tough decision.<br /><br />On a more cheerful note - I look forward to more Tripod and future budgie studies.Hederahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09647048601165551808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-75816736046515592402011-06-27T01:37:30.974-02:302011-06-27T01:37:30.974-02:30I once had parakeets the same colors.
