What do you do when you – a citizen whose rights are protected by the U.S. This is what we need for birds, whose rights as government-protected species are violated every day by free-roaming cats. Thanks to groups like Alley Cat Allies, outdoor and feral cats have become above the law.

The other day, Minneapolis, Minnesota passed a feral cat ordinance. So I put together a “carnival” (of sorts) of Feral Cat Ordinances and Issues that samples current events across the US. From the Star Tribune : Feral cats win a round at Minneapolis City Hall. Does it solve it? No,” he said.

This offers a lot more protection than the exposed nest site. In the header photo the Pied Oystercatcher chick is only just to the right of the adult. Feral cats are also a problem in Broome. There are dangers around the nest site and the sooner they could move the family away from the exposed nest site the better.

They travel through the dunes where there is shade among the vegetation and some protection from predators. In the photo above there is one chick trying to avoid the wind under the vegetation to the right of the tail of the Pied Oystercatcher on the left. You can also see that the legs of the chicks are almost as wide as the adults!

It obviously was not quite right and “A1” continued to try and please her for some time. We do not add debris to protect the nests and the main threat to the nests still appears to be feral cats. It is always interesting to observe how little flying the local non-migratory shorebirds actually do.

The subject is one that comes up a lot in this blog and other bird blogs, the subject of cats and their effect on wildlife. As most people know cats, both feral and domestic, have a pretty big impact on wild birds and other wildlife, and the effect of mammals is particularly profound in New Zealand.

Two days ago I went on Facebook and queried some of my exhausted compatriots: if you could have one wish right now – anything in the world – what would it be? “I I wish for a federal law prohibiting domestic and feral cats from roaming free outdoors. Let me ponder it while I’m picking up two gulls and an egret.”.
