Every year a bird makes its nest in my holly bush and drives the cats crazy. They can watch it from the living room window. And they can see the nest but not get to it - too many thorns. Plus every cat in the neighborhood visits to take a turn at trying to get to the nest. Lots of frustration and marking of territory going on.
It is a sleek gray and black bird. Very pretty and very friendly. She greets me every morning as I go to my car.
