or shot because they killed someone's birds!..

:laughing: No one keeps birds and I live on 45 acres with a neighbor one side with cows and a farm to market road separating me from another one.

Any birds owned by someone here would be inside a residence. Never heard of somebody owning a bird that a barn cat could catch.

True. I wasn't thinking of chickens and ducks. There is some white trash down the road that keeps a pig, ducks and a few chickens on about 1/4 acre. :laughing:

Oh well, cats are free so if I lose one I replace it on the go. :laughing:

Cats kill well over one billion (!) birds annually in the US. If you don't care... you don't care - and I get their anti-rodent utility.

When we moved here 30+ years ago there were lots of quail. Entertaining as **** watching them march single-file along the porch rail, or herding 20 fluff-balls through the field. Then neighbors arrived with six cats. Haven't seen or heard a quail in 20 years
