i remember showing this to my cat 6 months ago,i remember him sniffing the screen and tapping the birds. i just found it on my favourites and it brought me to tears. its been 4 months that he's passed away now. i miss him.
When I first came across this video it was only 2 years old I was showing it to my brand new rescue cat and he absolutely loved it to this day it's his favorite bird video to watch he will watch others but get bored within a few seconds. This video no as soon as he see the blue beginning he knows what's up and he sits there and stretches at the birds and it make him very happy and that makes me happy
This is definitely Delia's favorite video. The sound starts just a sliver before the picture comes in, and her ears immediately swivel toward the screen. She only goes up to the screen once in a while, and figures out soon enough that there ought to be more to the picture and starts looking behind the screen, but most times she'll just get comfy and stare intently. This is a great video for a cat!
+Kimberly Bilyk I'm amazed at how much Osama loves these. It's just like looking out a window for him. My boy Osama sends his love to Delia, Goldie Bear, GC and Pippin!
My cat has been watching this video periodically since she was about three or four months old last year. I used to put it on to give her a distraction whenever I'd leave the house for long periods of time during the day. Now, I only put it on occasionally when she's being rambunctious, and it never fails to get her in front of the TV from wherever she is at the time and hold her attention, almost transfixed, for the entire 10 minutes. Sometimes she bats at the screen or runs behind the TV looking for the birds, like many others have commented. This is the best video for cats that ever was made. Thank you!!!!!
Still my cat's favorite video of all time! He has probably watched it hundreds of times, lol. First are the opening bird chirps. He hears that and gets excited. And I think he is attracted to how the birds waddle around on the asphalt. He loves that and when one wanders in from off screen. He has probably named them by now! If he ever has to be put to sleep I hope we can play this for him to watch. It would make things so much easier for him.
I used to play this for my cat all the time and she loved it. Decided to play it for another of my cats and it just reminds me of her, she passed 2 months ago and miss her xx
I played this on my 55" TV for about 10 seconds. My cat woke up from a dead sleep and sprinted up to the tv... jumped and face planted right into the screen. I laughed at him until my stomach hurt, but I had to turn it off for the sake of my television.
I found this video a few years ago and my cat loved it, I'd always turn it on and he'd light right up. Sadly he's passed but thank you, we loved this very much.
I have to tell ya! I have 3 cats and one of them is named Ollie Boy, he really really loved this video! He sat at my computer during the entire video, watching and touching the screen! He really was in tune with the birdies! TY for sharing this! Thumbs up... or should I say...Claws up!? Huggles from Zolwena
Zolwena Goldie Bear and GC (grey cat) send their best wishes to Zolena! I hope to do another one soon. This has been so popular, the birds now have an agent.
This video has been my cats' single most favorite movie ever for almost 9 years. They show no interest in any other bird video but this one. It's crazy. Please never take it down!!
Thanks. I stopped doing videos during the pandemic and RUclips kicked me out of the money program, but my cats also want to see it every day and there's little chance I will ever take it down
My cat was laying down about a foot away when I played this and after five minutes she walked right up to the screen and sat down trying to smell the screen for the rest if the video. She was very cute, thank you for putting this up :)
My Persian, Henrik, went crazy over this. It woke him out of a dead sleep and engaged him for the entire 14 minutes! I've never seen anything hold his attention like that.
My poor kitty can't understand that when they fly off the screen they aren't in the room somewhere haha. my dog loved it also! this is such a good idea to keep your pets happy :)
I left this on the TV screen on "repeat" at my sister's house while she was away, and I was cat-sitting for her. I went over after work, and found the cat lying on the rug in front of the TV, panting and foaming at the mouth. Everything was knocked off the TV stand, and the screen was covered in deep scratches, practically all the way through the clear screen. The cat's nails were worn down to bloody little nubs. I give this video 5/5 stars, would definitely recommend to all cat owners.
My cat jumped on the screen in the first 40 seconds then proceeded to run to the windows right behind my computer searching for the birds. She's still looking at the ceiling for signs of them. Great laugh. Thank you!
My Eartha Kitty thanks you for the video. She loves watching bird videos and taps at the birdies on the TV. Safe birdies and safe and entertained kitty. Win win all around. ☺
This video is really special to me now. I used to show it to my cat, Mimi. She would sit on my lap and slowly tap the birds. This was the only video that worked and got her interested. As I'm writing this, it's been a bit over a month since she's no longer with me anymore. While thinking about her I remembered this video and decided to watch it in her honor.
Thank you. Please share it. I have been posting new ones of the same birds, but no response like this one. Thanks again. GreyCat, Goldie and Patches send their regards to Mimi
TheNavid02 Not weird, blackbirds are a highly intelligent bird. The ones at my pond get almost as big as a rooster and those ones puff out so that it looks like a bigger animal.
I have an old computer I hooked up for my cat. It's his "TV" and he is totally hooked on this video. It's one of his favorites that he watches several times a day.
My cat Gus loves to watch the birds. If I put in on the big screen tv he sits and watches them. When I need to keep him calm, I put it on my Kindle and he sits on it and sometimes swipes at the birds. Thank you for the videos, they are perfect for my Gus Gus!
Boomdamoboombry Ah ok thanks, I didn't recognize them as we don't have them here. I see the confusion as these are related to new world blackbirds, whereas I was thinking of old world blackbirds that we have here in the UK. Thanks for the info
These are mostly grackles, the very shiny ones with white eyes, and I saw a brown headed cowbird or two in there. My cat loves these videos - he looks behind the screen of my laptop to see if the birds are going to come out.
Yes, those are grackles... you can tell by the black bills and the iridescent bluish-black head. Starlings have yellow bills, and are speckled, not completely black.
Brewer's Blackbirds. Males are iridescent black with yellow eyes, females are brownish-striped with black eyes. They are common year-round all over North America. Grackles are larger, bluer with longer tails.
link Cats see around 100 images per second, we see about 24. Basically.... what looks like smooth film to us will look like a stuttery series of still images to a cat. Probably not enough to make it out as a film since youtube videos don't (to my knowledge) go above 60fps.
xSummerLuvinxx She/He is most likely responding to the noise instead of the images, she might be associating the noise with the images too and be trying to make sense of it, you should video your cat responding to the video, I'd be interested to see it. I'm an animal behaviourist. link No, I sent a message that for some reason got deleted to explain that cats see things faster, that's right, so they see around 100fps, sometimes a few less, and we see around 24fps, and youtube I think does a MAXIMUM of 60fps, but this is more likely to be 24fps, which would look like a very poor quality stop motion film to a cat. I'll find you a link to what the video would look like, but a heads up, you might feel a tiny bit motion sick.
My cats (11 & 7) were very attentive and patted the screen occasionally. They know what windows are but still looked around the edges. One of the better vids for cats. Not too racy or too boring.
one of my kitties favorite videos they love it and will sit by the computer demanding to see it. One day they think they will get lucky and catch one :-)
i remember showing this to my cat 6 months ago,i remember him sniffing the screen and tapping the birds. i just found it on my favourites and it brought me to tears. its been 4 months that he's passed away now. i miss him.
+juds That's honestly very sad... ;-;
Oh poor you xx
So sad to hear this :( and no words can take away the pain but he had a wonderful life with you xx
Im very sorry to hear that, sorry for your losses.
He had a mommy that loved him very much, im sorry for your loss 💔

Kimberly Bilyk Thanks. My two cats, Goldie Bear and GC (grey cat) send their regards to Delia!
You obviously passed English class
+outofthebiz As does my cat Pippin! Delia is becoming quite popular on this thread.
+Kimberly Bilyk I'm amazed at how much Osama loves these. It's just like looking out a window for him. My boy Osama sends his love to Delia, Goldie Bear, GC and Pippin!
If you like watching cats watching birds give a look at this video ruclips.net/video/zUuqNGzw8zc/видео.html
This is my cat's favourite video of all time!

I meant to say 15 minutes, not 10.
Thanks. Its getting so many views, the birds are asking for a piece of the action.
Still my cat's favorite video of all time! He has probably watched it hundreds of times, lol. First are the opening bird chirps. He hears that and gets excited. And I think he is attracted to how the birds waddle around on the asphalt. He loves that and when one wanders in from off screen. He has probably named them by now!

My cat loved it
Steph Lps you have a cat with very discriminating tastes! Thank you
Ok
Same here
I used to play this for my cat all the time and she loved it. Decided to play it for another of my cats and it just reminds me of her, she passed 2 months ago and miss her xx
My cat is staring intently at the screen :) I think she enjoys the sounds as well
My cat loves this video. He'll watch it over and over and over.
Meow meow meow. Meow meow, meow purrr. Meow meow nom nom nom meow; meow purr meow nom.
Meow meow nom ! Purr.
Dude your profile picture is my home screen lol!
Beautiful blackbirds! Great capture.
I played this on my 55" TV for about 10 seconds. My cat woke up from a dead sleep and sprinted up to the tv... jumped and face planted right into the screen. I laughed at him until my stomach hurt, but I had to turn it off for the sake of my television.

my cat's left ear enjoyed this
My cat loves this video he has watched it lots of time .Its funny to watch him because he treys to find the birds after they fly away.

My cat Tasha also, watched the entire clip, entranced
This video has been my cats' single most favorite movie ever for almost 9 years. They show no interest in any other bird video but this one. It's crazy. Please never take it down!!

CinderRose3 my pleasure.
My Persian, Henrik, went crazy over this. It woke him out of a dead sleep and engaged him for the entire 14 minutes! I've never seen anything hold his attention like that.
Lyric sat on the keyboard and batted at the screen! X3 so friggin cute~! Thank you for this video!
Same. Mine kept staring the birds down
My cat loved this. She would watch the birds then would search behind the computer for the birds. Hilarious! We had fun watching her!
This is like the Shawshank Redemption to my cat.
I don't know why but this is my favorite video on here. I just love these birds and wish they were in my next-door neighbors parking-lot.
My poor kitty can't understand that when they fly off the screen they aren't in the room somewhere haha. my dog loved it also! this is such a good idea to keep your pets happy :)
My cat SOPHIE loves these videos, especially the brown mouse game. She gets on the tv stand and whacks at the mice-funny.
My cat was fixated for most of it and then started look behind the screen and then back at the front lol.
Yeah same😂
same here... great video
My cat, Dave, loved this. Very entertaining he thinks. 👍😀😽😽Thank you.
This one is his favorite!
I left this on the TV screen on "repeat" at my sister's house while she was away, and I was cat-sitting for her.

My cat jumped on the screen in the first 40 seconds then proceeded to run to the windows right behind my computer searching for the birds. She's still looking at the ceiling for signs of them. Great laugh. Thank you!
my cat started batting at the screen :D very cute.
he also made kept accidentally pausing and playing it with the space bar. rpelayed 3 times and Alfie still went mad :D
Lol same
But instead of looking for them, she jus took a nap
Just look at that blue around the male blackbirds neck , beautiful .
My cat watched the whole thing and when it finished he put his paw on replay 🐈😂😂
My Eartha Kitty thanks you for the video. She loves watching bird videos and taps at the birdies on the TV. Safe birdies and safe and entertained kitty. Win win all around. ☺
My cat sat in my lap and the second the sound started it got scared shitless and ran away
DoctaDuckroll i only fuck milfs
Out of all the videos for cats on RUclips, this one is my Mischief kitty's favorite! ♡
It worked but my cat is looking for it now!, driving me crazy
Same. My cat got on top of the keyboard and started trying to see if the black birds were real
Cat loved it. Now am considering making a playlist for her to play on the 40 inch while I'm at work.
My cat tried to touch one with her paw. When the video finished, she looked behind the laptop screen for the birds.
Yeah, mine too!
Yep, same here. Mine also licked the screen though :/
guy same my cat is a baby
Mine too LOL and he got on top of the keyboard
Mine did same!!! Each cat unique but also same!
Best cat video by far. Drives them crazy
I showed this to my cat and she attacked my phone, viciously.
No she didn't.
Yeah dont lie ...
Papaoutai
This video is really special to me now. I used to show it to my cat, Mimi. She would sit on my lap and slowly tap the birds. This was the only video that worked and got her interested.

now I have paw and nose prints all over my screen.
omg same!
cat stood on the rewind button, purring so loudly!
My cat didn't really seem to care about this video, but weirdly enough he loved the anime that I was watching before I put this video on.
I've never seen my cat interested in anything on tv before this. He was hypnotised by it!
I liked it, i tried to smell the birds, but culd not, also, there was not birds behind the screen. Awesome.
wtf
AmandaRox12345 miauuuu
He is taking perspective of his/her cat guys, its clever.
Lol x
My cat Bo is absolutely obsessed with this video and will spend hours watching it and touching the screen 😺
Is it weird I don't have a cat but watched this?
i did the same
No because I did the same. LOL But I DO love cats, and did have one once. I wonder how she'd respond to it were she still alive. :)
TheNavid02
This video is for cats.
You watched the video.
Therefore you are a cat.
Someone True
TheNavid02 Not weird, blackbirds are a highly intelligent bird. The ones at my pond get almost as big as a rooster and those ones puff out so that it looks like a bigger animal.
I have a blind cat and she loves to lay in the floor to hear the sounds of those tasty birds.
ironically my cat could care less but my dog was so frustrated that she couldnt get to the birds
Hehe lol
My kitty loves this vid..we watch it numerous times a year😻
Is it weird I watched even though I don't own a cat?
i think this is exactly what a cat would say
Ize Reedman سبحان الله العظيم
I have an old computer I hooked up for my cat. It's his "TV" and he is totally hooked on this video. It's one of his favorites that he watches several times a day.
My kitten was more interested IN MY CHARGER
XD
My youngest fur boy loves the fishy videos, my oldest is enthralled with this one.
Try that new cat Viagra. Might help.
the comment above is the same thing how my cat cares
cat viagra?
outofthebiz XD
you are weird
marlene tuttle FiGHHT ME BITCH MY CAT LOVES THIS AND I LIVE IN VIAGRA

Kish Bryant Thanks, My cats, Goldie Bear and GC (grey cat) send their best wishes to Gus!
My cat doesn't really bother :/
My cat loves this and doesn't take his eyes off it....so funny to watch him!
My cat covered her eyes and told me to please turn it off, as she was trying to sleep
I have 3 cats and they all watch the tv screen when I play this video. This is their favorite. Thanks for posting videos like this!
They're not blackbirds, they look to be small crows or jackdaws?
they're called Grackles
Boomdamoboombry Ah ok thanks, I didn't recognize them as we don't have them here. I see the confusion as these are related to new world blackbirds, whereas I was thinking of old world blackbirds that we have here in the UK. Thanks for the info
tjf4375 Where I live, they're most often seen in flocks that include the European Starling. Imagine that!
Boomdamoboombry I can imagine that would be quite a sight! We get some quite amazing looking flocks of starlings here too!
These are mostly grackles, the very shiny ones with white eyes, and I saw a brown headed cowbird or two in there. My cat loves these videos - he looks behind the screen of my laptop to see if the birds are going to come out.
My cat loves this! 🐱
my cat was playing with the birds and trying to claw the screen!!
My cat Boots loves watching all the starlings! He thinks they're real!
Are you sure those are blackbirds?
starlings
They are Common Grackles, a member of the blackbird family.
Yes, those are grackles... you can tell by the black bills and the iridescent bluish-black head. Starlings have yellow bills, and are speckled, not completely black.
Brewer's Blackbirds. Males are iridescent black with yellow eyes, females are brownish-striped with black eyes. They are common year-round all over North America. Grackles are larger, bluer with longer tails.
My beautiful Persian Chincilla, Ruby, loved this one, Thanks!
Cat's won't be able to really see the video..... It'll just look like a bunch of still images to them.... But whatever.
+Zeros & Ones they aren't still images.-.
how did you get that idea?
link Cats see around 100 images per second, we see about 24. Basically.... what looks like smooth film to us will look like a stuttery series of still images to a cat. Probably not enough to make it out as a film since youtube videos don't (to my knowledge) go above 60fps.
Zeros & Ones uhm no.
cats see faster than humans, so what they see is a speedy blur, not still images.
+Zeros & Ones My cat is biting and licking the screen haha sorry what?

I'm a cat and i dislike.
daruard ¿cómo u pierden ur pantalla no ur gato destory lo siento mi español es malo ..
Love their little “bark” noise. It is so funny. :)
Best cat video ever! Cat can't seem to stop watching and prefers it over all the other cat videos :D
all 3 of my cats watched this, paws on the screen, and they never missed a bird coming in or going out, this is true Kitty TV,
i just got a kitten and she feel asleep watching this.this helped her calm down.it really is for cats.....and kittens! :)
Cat didn't care for a screen full of fish but attacked the screen full of birds. So cute! Glad to see my little old lady cat play and interact :)
My kitty couldnt belove her happyness. She really enjoyed the show :D
My cats (11 & 7) were very attentive and patted the screen occasionally. They know what windows are but still looked around the edges. One of the better vids for cats. Not too racy or too boring.
My cat was enthralled! Every time a new bird came she got closer to the screen xD
I went through half a dozen videos before I found this one. Instant success! Thanks so much.
My cat LOVES this video. Thank you so much for posting this.
Gorgeous video
My cat loves this he tries catching the birds on the TV lol!☺
My cat loved it. And those birds are beautiful
One of my cats LOVES this video! Best I have found. Thanks
My cat Leo (-pardo do Gattopardo) was really mesmerised by this video. All paws on the screen, even without sound. Thanks.
one of my kitties favorite videos they love it and will sit by the computer demanding to see it. One day they think they will get lucky and catch one :-)
My cat first heard the birds, listened, then turned to the screen and ran like hell when she saw how close they were.
My cats just love this video!
My Maincoon adores this video. Thank you!
My cat loved to watch this!
My cat loves this video.She watches every day.Thx :)
