Pretty, But It’s Not Bird TV

April 18, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat28 Comments

I was actually looking for birdies.

Here in southern California, we seem to have a rather small window of time between when the windows get opened to fresh air during the day, and when they get shut again, to turn the air conditioning on. Yesterday was a pleasant, window-open day, and look what I saw outside!

I still would rather have seen a birdie.

There are several rose bushes growing outside my office window, and even though my human ignores them and just lets the timer water them, they still manage to sprout a few blooms, and they are always huge. Incidentally, there is also a bird feeder out there that is empty and needs refilling. Just thought I’d mention that. Bird TV has been a little sparse lately.

    Beautiful flower! You need to get on your human to fix the bird channel, Sparkle 😀

    Yeah, it’s pretty but in the end what good is it, Sparkle? It doesn’t cheep or tweet or chitter and it can’t crawl inside for you to play with. Pfft.

    The Human liked it though.

    Beautiful! The very few flowers that are up here were covered and bent over with the snow this morning. Hope you got your birdie tv working finally!

    The rose is almost (but not quite) as pretty as you!

    We are sorry we have not been by to leave a comment, but our internet connection has been out for several days straight now with intermittent service for several weeks. We hope it is fixed, we are keeping our paws and whiskers crossed.

    That is such a pretty rose Sparkle . Our Mom loves rose bushes but ours don’t do really well. We will be having some pictures too. Love that picture you looking through the screen. But gosh that bird feeder needs to be filled up right now. What is the deal?? Take care.

    Hi Sparkle! We have the same limited time here for open windows – mom hates the heat so the AC comes on pretty quickly at our house!

    That is a very pretty flower – we bet it will attract some fun bugs to watch! And we hope your feeder is refilled soon so you have some good bird TV again!

    We’ll hope for you to get a flutterby or a MOTH on the flower so you can watch it!

    What gorgeous flowers you have to look at and whiff during those open-window hours!
    And I always thought you’d look good up on that silver screen, Sparkle! You’re a star!

    What a gorgeous rose! We agree, though: From our point of view, bird tv is much more interesting. Get your human to refill the feeder–we suggest refusing to pose for the camera until she does.

    A beautiful rose, Sparkle. You need your birdies, though. Tell your Mom to get on the ball!

    We hope your bird TV improves soon Sparkle – perhaps the birdies are on strike for food in their feeder.
