We have to keep the snacks..errr..birds in the "cat free zone" aka computer room otherwise I'm sure they would be quickly snarfed up! Too many little hunters and huntresses here to take the chance! I had a rescued budgie years ago, that was hung in the middle of the ceiling away from furniture cats could reach the cage from. The birdie was fine until I got home one day to find the cage on the floor, and no bird whatsoever. Searched high & low w/flashlight everywhere, but of course the cats weren't fessing up to a thing, nor were they watching under furniture or anywhere else intently. The culprit produced no evidence to the crime in the litterbox either. Poor little bird. Your pair of girls are pretty little things, and love the house inspectors!
