The Bird Watcher

My cat, Livvy, sometimes drives us nuts because she is bored in the house. Siamese need stimulation, and, well, I’m too busy to entertain her right now. So I placed our bird feeder a little closer to the house– outside a window– where she can perch and watch them.

The feeder has been out there for two days, and nary a bird (that I knew of). Perhaps it is too close to the house?

But today a brave (and noisy) Bluejay arrived to quickly pick through the feeder. He must have been hungry enough to endure Livvy’s stares and wildly flickering tail, but as soon as his starvation was stayed, he amscrayed as fast as he could.

I’m hoping that his bravado will encourage other birds- like the chickadees and cardinals that I love so much. IF they can handle all of us crowded around the window to watch!
