| "Perhaps I really should take up wild-flower identification instead."
Nah - you know cats. If you take up wild-flower identification,
they'll suddenly acquire a taste for wild plants.

| 3456.3 | NO-EAT Bird Watching! | AIMHI::BOYKO | | Mon Mar 26 1990 16:37 | 8 |
| We bought a window bird feeding tray. It has three levels, with
three purches for them to feed in. The unique thing about this,
besides the suction cups that hold it on the window is, that while
the birds are feeding, they are looking at themselves in the mirror
in front of them. They can't see me or my cats watching them from
inside the house. The cats just love this new attraction!!!!

| Nancy,
Where did you get the great feeder? It sounds like it would be great
fun.

Well, we don't birdwatch with the "gang" but we do have a relaxtion
tape that we can't play because of them. We got a collection of
tapes a few years ago that includes Cape Cod surf, rainstorm, etc.--
but one of the tapes is called Tropical Forest....you guessed it,
all the noises of the tropics--the insects, the rain, and oh god,
the troopical *birds*. We put the tape on once in a while just
to get a laugh, as the cats go nuts trying to figure out just *where*
these **birds** are!! Can't play it too often though, the speakers
just can't take the abuse!!
Kids!!! Ya got to love 'em!!

| I bought the feeder at Agways in Hudson, N.H., but I'm sure you could
find it at some pet stores or at Blue Seal. Its in the shape of a
window frame, that you fill from the top with seed, then the seeds
run around the frame, constantly supplying the 3 purches for the
birds to sit and eat from. There is a mirror behind the purches,
so the birds don't see you from the inside watching them, or
the cats as a matter of fact! My cats just love this display every
morning about 7:30 am!!! You can stick this feeder on any window,
because it has great suction cups that actually hold real good.
It sells for about $50.00 on sale, but well worth it because of
its function and the way its made.
Have fun!

| I saw that feeder in the Animail catalog this week. It sold for
about $79.99 there. Looked great, I would love to have one myself.
It has suction cups that attach it to the outside of the window.

| A little late, but that's what next-unseen is for, right? :-)
One of our favorite TV shows is Nature, and often there are birds on the show.
One of Tigger's favorite places to hang out was perched on top of the back
cushion of the loveseat, which is not against the wall. He can see the TV
from there. Whenever he was up there while we were watching Nature, and they
were showing birds, we'd keep looking back at him. Sometimes he'd just lay
there, but sometimes he'd be staring intently at the TV. Once he went up to
the TV and put his paws up on the "entertainment center" to get a better look
(I guess...). We were afraid for a while that he'd try to pounce on the
birds! We should try playing the bird calls tape sometime and see what he
does.
