I don't get it. What does the picture beneath the captcha have to do with the captcha?

The captcha expects you to choose a bird. The pic below it shows that it's wrong. Cats can use it too.

*I* can get four dogs into a bird house - watch me!
Those kittehs are adorable. Usually they just stuff themselves into boxes and all you see are their backsides lol.

Ok. Just my subconscious working the way it does.
Any bird that would nest in a birdhouse with an opening that large might just consider those little ones dinner.

We have jays the size of linebackers around here. They used to strafe our noisy tuxedo who was always trying to grab one and would go crazy and start yelling at them in her frustration.

We get Western Kingbirds nesting on our property every spring. Smaller that a robin but they won't tolerate anything feathered or furred anywhere near their nest(s). They run off the starlings so I like them around. That and they are flycatchers and nab flying insects.
I've seen a pair run off hawks, cats, skunks, stray dogs etc. etc.
I hear you about bluejays. Once at a rest stop a fellow was feeding them peanuts by hand and remarked that they kept missing and had drawn blood on his hand. He looked surprised when I told him they weren't missing but were plucking bits of his hand to eat. I couldn't believe he had let it go far enough to have several little chunks plucked from his hand..........................

For all we know that tree trunk could be six feet wide in diameter.

This whole conversation has gone to the birds!

Funny first time I got that my very first thought was my cats would be in there in a second.

I can't believe my eyes. I guess the right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing.

My Dad absolutely hated Blue Jays because they would chase off the Juncos and steal all the food. One day he even had me take him to the sporting goods store where he stocked up on a BB gun, a super soaker & a wrist rocket. He said not to tell Mom.
Later after I took over deck duty we were having trouble with Crows chasing everyone off, but guess what? Crows aren't scared of any bird round here except Hawks, and a Blue Jay can mimic a Hawk cry perfectly, and did so, in a big fir tree across the way.
So once the Crows had left, to my surprise, both the Juncos and the Blue Jays came back on the deck and ate together.
This irenic behavior did not last long, yet, gives one pause about this fallen World.
