Planning the Strategy

"I'm gonna git 'em.  These birdies are invadin' my private catio outdoor livin' area."



"Lynn,  I'm tryin' to figure out the best way to round them 
all up at one time."


"What do they think their gonna find in those flower pots?
Their not Leprechauns,  that's not gold!"

No, Precious,  but they do seem to cause flower pot
trouble when they come in and nip off a plant.

"I know,  so I'll git rid of 'em fur you."


"See what I'm up against.  I gotta purrtect these flower pots
Lynn has."

Snap dragons and violets






Ruby Throat Humming Bird


But this fellow, sitting under the front porch roof one day
when it was raining,  he is off limits to every one.



Thank you for stopping by for a visit and a comment.
It is much appreciated.

Ah! Share and share alike Precious...
You've got enough room there for you,
and the birdies to enjoy the flowers,
and it doesn't look as though you've
many birdies at the moment, and l'm
sure when yo go out into the catio,
they 'all' fly off anyway...! HeHe! Bless...!x

Lynn's flowers are beautiful and they truly need protecting! I can help you if you need it, Precious!

Kea said...

Precious, that's hard work, guarding the plants! Wouldn't it be fun if the birds came inside to "visit" with you? Maybe if you extend an invitation....πŸ˜‰

Lynn's flowers are doing well in spite of the humid, smokey conditions. I need her expertise for my little space. πŸ™ƒ

Take care, stay inside until the smoke passes! ❤️❤️

You've got your work cut out, Precious. It would be a shame for Lynn to lose all those gorgeous flowers. Good luck!

Well, guess the birdies do too, so Precious, keep up the good work.

I think the birds came by just to see the flowers, Precious. Sure, that's it. (But really, they are lovely; and so is the tiny hummingbird.)

Mary Kirkland said...

Yes, you protect those flower pots and the flowers in them. Cute pictures.

Julie said...

It's good to see you out there enjoying some sunshine on your little Catio dear Precious. Mums flowers look to be doing well - I spy a pot of Zinnias there. Its good that you are keeping guard there Precious - you do a wonderful job.
Gosh that hummingbird is so adorable. We don't have them here & I just love them. How special that it came to visit.
Have a great weekend both of you - I am hoping to get outside to do some chores as its not raining here today & quite mild for mid winter. My firewood pile is going down at a very rapid rate though - I shall need to get more in !!! x0x

Good job protecting all your mom's plants from the birdies. Brody sends his love. XO

Ms. ~K said...

Great work, Precious! Keep those birds away from your mom’s plants, except the hummer! Wish I could be there to help you! Your mom certainly has a green thumb! Her flowers are gorgeous! ❤️ Licks & sniffs, Rocky

You're up for the job, Precious!

I am sure you will get them to bend the knee if they have knees.

messymimi said...

I'm sorry the birds are damaging the plants! It's so not fun when this happens, as we really need the birds in our ecosystems but we don't want them hurting our things.

Smudge said...

Great job protecting the beautiful flowers from those darn introoders, Precious. Dad had some pretty violent solutions, but I told him to knock it off and tone it down a bit.

Katie Isabella said...

Hummingbirds command the world! Wherever they are and rightly so. They are so so tiny and just perfection! Yup. They're off limits. Precious, dang it.

Good job protecting Lynn's beautiful garden from those winged invaders, Precious!
