Last time our birds were spooked by a cat, a lot of them sat on the garage roof all night, then gradually over a few days they all started to come in a couple at a time till eventually they were all back in. It's so frustrating.
Yes have a very merry xmas (get on the vodka n red bull) and let yer hair down, (wayne you'll have to be content with coka cola till debbies sober again) ;D ;D ;D ;D
