    Default Chattering Sparrow

    I took a few examples, moving closer each time - this is the closest as I tripped up on the cat the next one and scared him off. One of the vids has me telling that cat off as she decided to climb up my leg - ouch!

    Any idea what this lad is up to?

    We-lll it wasn't TOO colourful, but since I was intent upon the bird, claws in my legs were a little bit of a surprise

    Lol. What a pitty you missed it. But you'll get another chance. Cats sort of cackle when watching a bird.

    Now there's a video to get, that weird mouth movement and sound the cats make when looking at birds and flies.

    Unfortunately this cat doesn't do that like normal cats she just cries. I do have a vid of her on my porch roof looking up at the roof and crying at my sparrow colony which always makes me laugh because there's no way she could ever catch one.
