Wake up Your Cat With These Songbirds and Squirrels Videos
If you want to entertain your cat or get juicy phone shots of the cat going crazy and looking behind the computer screen, then watch these YouTube videos of English songbirds and squirrels. Cornwall resident Paul Dinning has filmed hundreds of wildlife videos in which birds (and sometimes squirrels or mice) flutter around, chirping and eating seeds from a tree stump or fence post.
Many videos are several hours long, so you can leave them all day for your cat if you like. They are also a relaxing background sound for humans, and the birds are varied and beautiful. Dinning is editing the video, so there is almost always a bird on the screen. No music, just soft ambient birdsong and running water.
All of the videos and playlists they are compiled into have similar search-optimized titles, which, when combined, are dizzying. Some even have titles in different languages to reach more people. But all of this is high quality footage of birds picking, tweeting, flying out and into the frame.
Dinning has even filmed several videos that occasionally show domestic cats watching birds, although it’s unclear if the cats were actually in the same scene or just merged.
Your experience may be different, as is the case with all cat entertainment products, as they are fickle. But it’s all free. Prepare your camera.
