Our feral chicken cracks me up. Every morning when I go out to feed it, it comes flapping down from the cherry tree. Somehow it’s finding its way off the ground at night to roost. When I call chick chick chick it launches itself into the air and sort of half-plummets to the ground.
I borrowed Jenn’s video camera for the past couple weeks in the hope that I could get some typical Chicken behavior on film. Chicken didn’t co-operate. Instead of charging at me when I call it, as it usually does, it hung back and watched me taping it. It’s just coincidence, I know, but it was almost as if the bird were camera shy.
Still, I pieced together 2-1/2 minutes of Chicken footage for you fans:
You’ll notice that Princess has become a little ornery. She used to ignore Chicken, and Chicken ignored her. But now Princess thinks Chicken is a fun toy. Chicken longs for the days when she could eat peacefully with the kittens.
(Have I mentioned Princess before? She appeared last fall, and has made this place her home.)
dood, there’s a video of a chicken on youtube, doood
yeah!
Now everyone will want a pet chicken.
That’s a pretty nice looking chicken and a BIG cat. Or is the chicken just small? Maybe if someone else wielded the camera, the chicken would act in a more usual manner.
Does anyone remember the median strip chicken on I-5 near Coburg?
