Lovely video.  Before you believe all, some, or any of it, you might =
want to check out this site:
http://www.theanimalspirit.com/Myths.html

Isn't it amazing that for almost any scientific "truth", there are a =
dozen other scientists who have equally valid and completely =
contradictory versions of the same issue. =20
For those of you who are fond of birding on Long and Brier Islands, you =
may have noticed that there are virtually no feral cats anymore. Compare =
that to the situation 10 years ago.  That's due to a Trap, Neuter =
Release program..run entirely by volunteers who saw a problem and did =
something about it.  In the last two years, there have been no kittens =
born at the few remaining colonies.  Due to the efforts of volunteers, =
the feral cats have been humanely cared for, and the birds can expend =
their energies fighting for survival against the real threat:  Human's =
destroying their habitat.

  Amazing video from the American Bird Conservancy.=20

  "....hundreds of millions of birds killed each year."

  Something each birder should be concerned with.
