I watched this scenario unfold while sitting at my desk yesterday.
Have to admit, it was quite amusing!
Mr. Jay didn't seem to feel threatened and kept
his perch throughout the whole escapade.
Can you see him? He's in the top right corner of each picture.
Boy, was I worried, though!
ReplyDeleteWorried...for the bird? for the kittens? Ha...so, why are you over there on your blog denying that you're sweet? I'm telling all of your readers to come over here and witness this. lol....
ReplyDeleteFor the bird. He was outnumbered. He needed a cedar waxing to come flying in wearing a Zorro cape!
ReplyDeleteThere's that "sweet" crap again. Now you sound like LadyCat. Did you see her comment on my blog?
No, didn't see that. But I thought it was started in the post before. :)
ReplyDeleteThe subject is haunting me. :)
ReplyDeleteGood grief--that's a lot of kitties in one bush. LOL Mr. Jay must have nerves of steel. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is BETTER than National Geographic!
ReplyDeleteBrave bird! He knows he has the advantage of wings. That's called "chutzpah".
ReplyDelete@ Silver Fox...as Shakespeare said "me thinks though doth protest too loudly" : )
@LadyCat: :P, haha!
ReplyDeleteRebecca ~ its a crab apple tree...and they got higher than the roof of our house! ha.
ReplyDeleteWow! If a cedar waxwing (with a Zorro cape) shows up in your yard please take pictures I'd love to see that. :)
ReplyDeleteRebecca ~ I most certainly will! lol....
ReplyDeleteI think every species should have one representative wearing a Zorro cape! Cedar waxwings, bears...
ReplyDeleteI think my dog "thinks" she is wearing a Zorro cape when she tears around the house destroying invisible enemies. :)
ReplyDeleteDoes she "Leap from tall couches with a single bound?" :)
ReplyDeleteComic Book Geek says: That would be Superman, not Zorro, haha!
ReplyDeletehaha...true...I stand corrected. But he did wear a cape! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd nobody ever stole Superman's cape. Poo Zorro hasn't always fared so well.
ReplyDeleteBetsy I think cats have the natural instinct to hunt, when I had some time canaries were all attacked by cats, it's probably natural to them as a lion or a tiger are made for hunting, and birds are so helpless, you know:)
ReplyDeletePoor Zorro? Is he feeling bad about that?
ReplyDeleteLast time I saw him he was wearing no cape, but wearing a huge grin.
ReplyDeleteGloria ~ the do love to hunt birds! My litter here was raised on them...I saw their mama bring them a bird daily for weeks. Oh dear! ha.
ReplyDeletehaha...new version of the 12 days of christmas? and 4 cats in a Treeeee
ReplyDeleteSilver ~ are you sure the grammar nazi constructed that last sentence? ha.
ReplyDeleteProper English doesn't always sound correct. :)
ReplyDeleteBrian ~ wouldn't that be "four climbing cats..."
ReplyDeletearen't they cute, lookin for their dinner!
ReplyDeletehahaha if only Tiger was around to show them how it was done
ReplyDeleteHe'd have that Bluejay and off he'd run
So funny how they each played follow the leader
The Bluejay sure wasn't going to be a kitty feeder
Bet it was just taunting them a bit
Letting them take their hunting fit
Pat ~ true,
ReplyDeleteTiger would know what to do!
This was Marmy and 3 of the new kittens up there
He watches over them like a good big brother.
ha.
It was almost like watching a video... What a fun thing to watch from your window.
ReplyDeleteSending love...
Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteHow funny! I would have been too distracted to work and just sat there watching them.
ReplyDeleteMarie Elizabeth ~ well, I was...and grabbed my camera. lol...
ReplyDeleteLOL So fun..what would we do without cats?! ;D
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the bird was just teasing those silly kittens--I guess you never know if you can do something unless you give it a try. Have a great weekend. Mickie :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful Betsy : a true epic.
ReplyDeletelol monkey see monkey do lol
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the movie Feivel from the American Tail and the other one,my very favorite, Stuart Little.
lol
Awwwww yay for Mr Birdie!! Silly kitties - but so athletic and very determined! Great pics!! Take care
ReplyDeletex
I think the bird stayed there on purpose. Teasing them! Ha!! Guess he wanted to see how high they would go!!
ReplyDeleteHugs
SueAnn
He, the jay, was probably hoping they would come far enough out on the limb for it to slip down! That is too funny that four of them piled in after the jay! blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteSO funny!! Love the kittens!
ReplyDeleteThought I heard the old bird laughing for a second there.
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny. I presume they all got down safely. I don't think Mr Jay had much to fear really.
ReplyDeleteOh wow --sheat shots! That was one brave bird!
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy .. little monkeys! Great photos .. fun scenario .. Blue Bird will be laughing all the way to the bank and his nest ..
ReplyDeletePS - love the new photo of you .. cheers Hilary
That must have been hilarious...better than anything on T.V. for sure!
ReplyDeleteyou have the most wondrous LIFE all around you! how blessed you are there. :) All i see are cars from my only window, kids in the summer and people occasionally go get their mail. Quite dull, really.
ReplyDeleteMmm ~ Everyone has beauty all a round them...you just have to learn how to notice it. Don't you have mountains right out your window? Yes...look past the cars in the parking lot. I know you do! ha.
