Some of you may remember I posted about a hawk taking a closer look at Gus and to protect him I now have to keep him on a leash. Well, today I had Gus on a long lead in the backyard and to Gus' delight a baby bird lands a few feet away. We both race toward it but of course Gus gets there first. I try to grab Gus, the bird gets loose flies a few feet but Gus gets him again. Finally I got a good grip on Gus and brought him in the house. The bird was hurt and hiding in the corner. His mom kept flying to a low tree and calling to him.
Eventually he made it over the fence and I can't find him. I hope he flew away.
I've got a big bird that wants to eat my little dog and a little dog that wants to eat little birds. Sheesh!
I took a picture so you wouldn't think I'm making this stuff up.
The green is plastic mesh to keep Gus from slipping through the fence.
