The best thing about cats…

They’re really good at cleaning those dark corners of the basement that brooms and vacuums just can’t reach.

Insane in the Bird Brain

More photos of our nutty bird in action. Each of these was taken just as he crashed into our sliding glass door. I used my 50mm lens with manual focus and exposure, at 1/3000s exposure to capture all the action.


Bird brain

We’re having a downpour today, so what better time for our idiot bird, Homer Robinson, to engage in mortal combat with his arch-nemisis, the Back Door. Here’s a video of the bird brain in action.

Notice how Homer staggers a bit after some of his more brutal attacks. His most effective tactic seems to involve depositing a large amount of bird snot while simultaneously cracking his forehead on the door. If he performs this attack enough times, the snot will obscure his reflection and he will no doubt rejoice in finally vanquishing his enemy.

This video also demonstrates how utterly ineffectual my cat is in defending our house from even the most minor threat. Good job watching that bird, Bill.
