I was just listening to the lovely song of a bird in my garden, and wondering how I could show the sound on here, when I went into the living room, and realised the bird was on Big Brother....

Birds don't visit my garden, they're too sensible for that lol. I have 4 cats, although only 2 go out and next door has a cat too.

Well, I'm afraid I'm not as worldly wise (or should that be birdly wise?) as you guys. In my garden we have: a couple of portly wood pigeons who visit every day Magpies who visit most days A pair of great something tits (blue & yellow) but my friend told me they were great ** something anyways lol, nesting in a little birdbox we put up a couple of years ago. Some noisy little birds nesting in the pyracantha over the front door (could be sparrows? small brown ones). A couple of squirrels live in the oak tree at the bottom of our garden A robin we see regularly Some frogs now and again I'm sure there is more, but I work full time so am not around to enjoy them all the time.
