I was watching a Russian movie on DVD 2 days ago. In a scene there was an owl. Cocoa was on her stand while my wife was on the PC. Cocoa got spooked when the owl took flight. Cocoa flew to safety on wife's head.:lol:

Our birds also get spooked by video images of predators, so we have to be a careful about what we watch when they are out. :wink:

We watched Alien vs Predator the other night.. The birds got bored and fell asleep on me instead :lol:

They're used to strange noises coming from the PC and have never really seemed to have shown much of an interest in the moving picture element of it.

I may not have the key to success, but I know how to pick the lock on the door.

Earl hasn't responded to anything on the screen but the tiels got spooked when a hawk landed in the maple tree outside the window awhile back... They don't pay any attention to the squirrels or the songbirds or even the crows, but they sure knew what that hawk wasPosted Image
