There's a mockingbird just outside our back patio that has the bluff in on Patch. She has new chicks in the tree and is so protective and territorial. It has just started to be a problem in the last week because prior to that when Patch went out the bird ignored her. Now we can hear the new chicks chirping and its made the mom more belligerent. Yesterday the bird attacked me too. Patchie just has to hear the chirp alarm sound and she goes into scared frozen mode. The bird has dived bombed her maybe 8 times and scraped her twice........now Patch hides under the bushes and has to be dragged/coaxed out. I'm hopeful that the aggression will abate after the chicks fly away.

Can you walk Patch the other way, inside the courtyard instead?
Steph....Yes, that's exactly what I do.
Poor Patchy! Janet's cat Buster gets dive-bombed by them, too. He always ends up with little scabs on his head.
