Dilemma...

[ggeen]

I have a Mocking Bird dive bombing my dog whenever he goes outside. My dilemma, do I
A) get pictures of the bird dive bombing my beagle?
B) encourage the bird that the neighbors yard is more conducive to blissful living?
C) A then B?

C, hoping the dog is only getting annoyed at worst :P

Right now it is just an annoyance but the bird can be persistent and sometimes cut his potty breaks short -- if you know what I mean.

I vote make your dog a "porcupine suit".

Strap a GoPro to fluffy's back, get some good footage.

Glen, check to see if there are any bird chicks around.
Normally birds will dive bomb to keep predators away from their chicks.

Wear your hard hat as they may/will dive bomb you, too.

The male Mocking bird thought about it last night until I pull out my big lens. Then he disappeared for the night. THEY were back this morning, though. I have a lot of brushy shrubbery in my back yard so, yes, it is likely that the birds set up home. I posted some pics of doves building a nest in one of my Junipers. I had rabbits and possums in my elaeagnus. I even had a Cooper's Hawk feasting on the birds that like to hang out in my back yard -- I thought it was a neighborhood cat until I caught him read handed, or taloned.
