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.

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

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 :)

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.
