Watched by Bird TV

Pierre: Hey, what’s that sound?

Pierre_looking_over_shoulder_sm

Pierre: Mouses! That bird is nearly as tall as the head peep!

Pierre_sand_hill_crane_01sm

Pierre: I don’t think he likes when I do that.

pierre_sand_hill_crane_02sm

Pierre: Newton! Come quick! You’ll never believe what’s out here!

Pierre_sand_hill_crane_03sm

Newton: What’s the big deal? Oh my COD! Look at that thing. Could someone please open the blinds so we can get a better view?

Newton_Pierre_sand_hill_crane_04sm

Pierre: I’m not so sure about this. If we can see him, he can see us, right?

pierre_sand_hill_crane_05sm

Pierre: I just thought of something. If chickens taste like chicken, would a bigger bird taste even more like chicken?

Newton: We should find out!

Pierre: How are we going to do that?

newton_pierre_sand_hill_crane_06sm

Newton: The window latch is up here. I’ve seen the head peep use it to open the windows before.

Pierre: I’m not so sure that’s a good idea.

Newton: Sure it is! But this one is stuck. Hang on.

Newton_pierre_sand_hill_crane_07sm

Newton: Maybe if I get up on top of the cat tree, I can get a better grip on the latch. This is no good. I need thumbs.

Newton_sand_hill_crane_08sm

Pierre: Keep working on it! I’ll keep him occupied.

pierre_sand_hill_crane_09sm

Pierre: Really, bird, you can stop with the flapping thing. I’m not impressed.

pierre_sand_hill_crane_10sm

Ashton: What’s all the fuss about out here? You would have thought that the treat fairy — whoa! What’s that?

pierre_ashton_sand_hill_crane_11sm

Ashton: Can it come inside to play?

Pierre: Newton already tried that. It won’t open for us.

* tap tap tap *

Ashton: Did you hear that?

Pierre: I don’t think the head peep is going to like him knocking on the window like that.

* tap tap tap *

pierre_ashton_sand_hill_crane_13sm

Ashton: The head peep has the squirt gun. RUN!

Pierre: She isn’t going to squirt us. I think she’s just going outside to chase away our new friend.

The head peep did go outside to chase away our friend, armed only with a squirt gun. It worked, but she forgot to take a house key outside with her. You guessed it: the head peep locked herself out of the house with nothing but her squirt gun and her phone. At least she had the phone so that she could take one last photo of our friend before she chased him away.

    We don’t have big birds like this here, and the biggest we have doesn’t come so close to the houses : it’s impressive ! We laughed by imagining your mom locked outside with her water gun and her phone ! Purrs

    OMC, what an AWESOME episode of Bird TV! We don’t get anything like that here – just dumb sparrows. I bet the extra added touch of your human locking herself out was a nice bit of humor to end the show.

    Holy cr*ppola! Look at the SIZE of that bird? What is it? Some sort of heron? OMC, we’ve never, ever seen anything like that. We have no idea what we’d do if we had one waltz up to our window. We’re gobsmacked, as those in the UK might say. Wow!

    yoW! now that is Extreme Bird TV! 😀 we think we’d be a bit scared to have birds in our yard that were bigger than us. too bad you kitties couldn’t get the window open or that the head peep wouldn’t let him inside to play 🙂

    What an amazing story!! That bird is HUGE!! You kitties all did a great job of telling us about it. Great photos, too. Sorry your mom got locked out, but at least she got the bird to run away.

    Um, we think we would leave THAT birdie alone. That beaks looks really pointy, he’s BIG, an he doesnt seem ta be worried about you (which suggests some successful previous encounters with cats)…

    This is one of the best posts I’ve ever seen. MOL! We were all laughing out loud at this one. And how cool that the bird just came up to the window! He was just as interested in the cats as they were with it. Great photo series, and great cat conversation. So sorry you locked yourself out of the house though!

    TW is laughing her fool head off but you’ll get to laugh right back at her in a few days. I guarantee it. That bird is mocking you! I can’t believe it. Your head peep should be glad that bird didn’t come back with his friends while she was locked out.
