So many feathers, so much fur

I borrowed "So Many Feathers" (DVD) again from the library for the kitties.
Well, at least for Baby Eyes, who until now had been the only one of this
clowder interested in watching TV. But I now have six (6) furbabies crowded
around the TV watching the birdie show. Only Abelard is keeping a distance,
but he is watching from his bed.

We highly recommend this DVD.

I'll have to see if I can find this anywhere.  I don't know where Fleez
gets his love of bird watching, since during the one and only chance he
ever had to encounter a bird he turned into a big, black chicken
himself.  <grin>

Cheers,
Azy!

What a cute little story!  Thanks for the recommendation.  I'll have to give
that a go.  :~)

Lol, don't hold your breath.  I bought my kitties a video called "Cool for
Cats" especially for cats to watch, full of birdies.  The only person that
watched it was me.  The cats yawned and went out into the garden to see real
birdies.  I need to stop worrying about them needing stimulation and toys.
They don't as they can go outside 24/7 and this seems to mean they don't
need toys, or at least they say they don't want them as they ignore them.

I have a very small garden attached to my flat, and there is a small
apple tree in the part of the garden that is outside the cat enclosure.
A couple of birds (I couldn't make out what they were, but they were
small and greenish, may have been greenfinches) have been checking it
out. The cats go absolutely mad each time the birds visit the tree, but
they can't get at them from inside the enclosure. They flatten down so
as not to be seen, but at the same time they go ack-ack-ack, so I'm sure
the birds notice them. The birds might even be teasing them on purpose.
That's our kitty TV.

Persia pays absolutely no attention to the television; I don't think she
even knows it's there.  She watches "reality TV" via my sliding glass doors
to the patio where the bird feeder and bird bath is.  But it's cute that
your clowder will watch a DVD :)

How much would you be willing to bet that if you put on this DVD and made
sure Persia saw a glimpse of it, she would not suddenly develop interest in
the TV?

Considering I have no money to bet, nothing.  But I promise, she doesn't
even know the TV is there.  My little parrot, on the other hand, goes
completely into chirp mode when she hears birds on TV commercials :)

Birds!  Our parakeets were mostly quiet most of the time.  However it didn't
take them long to learn that most of the family seemed to wander in and sit
down about eight pm.  Right where we could watch them.  So they would always
proceed to put on a show.  Complete with loud sound effects.  They couldn't
see the TV and they were right next to it, but they could sure hear it.

I'd raised parakeets off and on since 1966.  When they get going, boy do
they!  But that squawking they do at times is enough to get on your last
nerve!  My lovebird chirps and trills but she doesn't squawk.  I made a good
choice with this bird :)

This is Peaches:

Beautiful bird, Jill.  Think she's got enough toys in that cage?

I rotate the toys, Sam (yes, I have more!) so she doesn't get bored.  So far
she's okay with things.  She particuluarly likes the ones with bells on
them.  I've even caught her on the swing a couple of times :)  Her name is
Peaches and she answers to it.

I just caught four cats watching Babylon 5 with the human clowder.  I
bought them "video catnip" and they hated it.  So I donated it to our
TED and they play it for their patients and worried hoomins.
