Looked like a mockingbird. Used to have one that sat on the wire outside the door waiting on the cat to go out, didn't matter if it had a nest or not, it would dive bomb the cat. Daryl
Mockingbird. They hate cats and will pester them to no end. A few different mockingbirds have decided my cat was in their territory, AKA, my backyard, and pester him endlessly. Sit on the fence and squawk at him, and when the cat isn't looking, dive bomb him. Haven't seen my cat catch one yet, but have definitely seen the aftermath. The score is at least cat 5, mockingbirds 0.
#3 - appears to be Rob Bredl. Interesting guy. https://infogalactic.com/info/Rob_Bredl #4 - another case of fucked around and found out. #6 - a case of the Mirror Self-Recognition test, a basic test of intelligence (being able to distinguish your own reflection from another person). And that kid is at about the age where he should be ready to pass it. (I think the penny drops right at the end when he sees the reflection of the big guy walking past and the the guy himself.)
#8 A shy fern / bush but I'm not familiar with the name. It's Similar to Mimosa Pudica and folds its leaves up to prevent damage. They may contain various alkaloids in insignificant amounts, and also have apoptotic effect; a fancy way of saying they poison your cells and trigger cell death.
#4 takes me back in time. Our cat used to lay in yard and every now and again, a mockingbird would dive bomb the reclining cat, which just waved a lazy paw in the air. When the cat got bored of the game, it stood up and walked a few steps. The bird pecked the back of the cat's head which drew a growl and a cold stare. I could read its mind "Just one more time you mutha....".
#4 - Had two cats who hated mockingbirds. One, the orange one, would lay out in the open and attract them in. The other, a grey, would do the initial pounce, scaring the bird, whereupon the orange would do the killing.
Saw that particular deadly duo waste 5 mockers one afternoon. Good for them.
#4-One warm late spring day the dog was sunning himself in the back yard when a grackle started harassing him by dive bombing from its perch in a tree 20 feet above. Poor dog just wanted to snooze and did not deserve to be bothered. The grackle would go beck to his perch after each dive and savor the torture he was dishing out. Went and got a pellet pistol, one shot and that damn bird was done-fell off his perch and got stuck in a crotch below-the black bastard sat there for the next couple of weeks while his body rotted.

ReplyDeleteBird did a dumb thing. One you can get away from. Twice is one too many
ReplyDeleteMost likely the cat was eying the birds nest of hatchlings.
DeleteThe bird was trying to distract the cat away from the nest, and paid the price.

So what you are saying is that if we did that with Barry, we'd get the same result?

ReplyDelete#1 is a straight up asshole maneuver. if you put pressure on a coral reef, that spot dies. he just did major damage to that reef.
