Nature red (sort of raspberry colored)

My cat brought me a bird today, a little bigger than a sparrow, yellowish. I grabbed a paper towel and got him to drop it. As I picked it up I realized it was still alive, and held it gently as it panted. It was only bleeding a little, and eventually flew away. Best wishes, little bird!

Willow and Lilac used to bring me one bird a year. I hope that's Basil's limit as well. I think we'd both find a bell annoying.
