Most bird food comes in the form of
either
a loose nut and seed mix or a solid block
of lard that binds the various treats
together.
Birds Who Get to Eat Cats, is a series of
these solid blocks cast to make them
look
like cats in various poses. You can hang
them up in any position
from the
branches
of trees, and soon enough flocks of birds
will come and peck them away to reveal
their hidden plastic skeletons.

Maybe after a few years we'd see the emergence of birds that could distinguish between the food-cat and the real thing. [+] |

Eagles? Hawks? Rabid ostriches? + |

Sparrows of course... always. |

Although the seed should be dispensed from its eyes. |

Sorry, I think this would traumatize onlooking children. - |

Is this going to change the behavior of birds? If they see a real cat will they think "Yum, food!" and land near it only to be eaten themseves? I think Leo's feedier could do the same thing. (open your mouth, cat & let me at the seeds I know are inside!) |
