magpie and many cats,1990

[rkrollart]

We have 4 cats and Magpies live in the trees outside and our cats will NOT mess with a magpie. Magpies will land right next to our cats and the cats just do their best to ignore them. I wonder if it has something to do with the magpies design and coloring or the cats know they are also predatory. At any rate, I admire their intelligence and think they're borgeous birds.

[shiro182]

The bird pooped.lol

[TheXboxSmartass]

@shiro182 What are you? Twelve!? :P

[shiro182]

@TheXboxSmartass

You must be extremely bored. I'm not the only one to mention it. Why don't you find those and respond too. Troll.

[TheXboxSmartass]

@TheXboxSmartass Hence the tongue sticking out smiley. Calm down.

[manufacturedZ3R0]

Magpies are amazing birds when you befriend them. I had one for a while. Found it on the path one afternoon wondering about. An easy meal for a cat or fox. I bought it up in the shed and let it go eventually. it still hangs around to this day :)

[atheismrocks69]

If you had an Australian Magpie instead of that maggie (though the two birds are unrelated) the cats would be dead, no joke. The Aussie Maggies peck human eyes out.

[majorl31]

If the cats were road kill the magpies would eat the cats,because magpies are scavengers

[DannieShaw1990]

The cats were well fed?

Looks like the maggie didn't miss any meals either! XD

[Kathyrula]

Beautiful cats, and good cats. They have obviously been given love and care, and they love, thank and respect you. Therefore, they respect your bird too. If only humans would respect each other in this way. Search for "Pico Jack, the baby sparrow" to see my kitty-bird friendship video :)

[Shavenhamster]

A magpie can put up a fight Ive owned cats all me life and they always been cautious of magpies and crows. I think the bird quite safe.

[TaladagaCockknocker]

Did you rip that magpie's tail feathers out so that it couldn't fly?

Good job buddy!

[MrWajax]

Neat video! This gets a thumbs up & favorite.

[hotstuffpizza8]

my cat would have ate that biird

[gtauste]

Porn music!

[hwoods01]

@ 2:09 - ~2:20.. Nigger cat is being a nigger.

[flubbeflabber]

That is sooooo cute! :D

[Jakeaxemurderer]

He just wants to be loved..hah

[KyosukeDowin]

Will spend on the bird you are inevitably in the preparation of death, O beautiful bird hehehehe XD

[LeftyLike]

Magpies are cool! :D

...and strange..a wild one stalked my dog.. <:(

It stalked him and bit his tail. :3

[Naustics]

this goes to show what we are doing to our animals they are losing their way of life

they could never survive in the wild. Cat + Bird= 1 great meal for the cat

[polderwijffie]

@Naustics

Believe me....those cats lived a very happy life with lots of love and care!

Later we had cats, who were really hunters.

Some of the cats died in a fire in our home.

That was a tragedie and it still hurts so very mucht..because i love animals.

[ninahagen9]

@polderwijffie You are absolutely right, and commiserations for your loss. I know how that feels. But you can't save them all. As for Naustics, what he/she doesn't know is that the magpie now has the household scent on her and so the cats won't chase her. It's nothing to do with going against nature. You did well and are doing well and it's not easy, so congratulations!

[locx]

@polderwijffie

That is sad =/ I just had like 4 of mine die within the last 2 weeks from poison. (That's what the vet diagnosed) Not sure if it's from weed killer(govt workers) or people deliberately poisoned them...

[mmedefarge]

@Naustics Domesticated kitties have been living with humans for thousands of years; they're quite used to us. Had one truly feral cat who climbed into the window one day looking for food, a kitten of about 2 mo. who'd been abandoned by his mother. He had trauma to one eye & looked as though he fell into a can of petrol. Got him to the vet & got him fixed up & he grew into a big, handsome kitty & lived with me for 12 years. He was always a handful though. Moxie, the alpha cat.

[mynameisabag]

@Naustics you do know that housecats never lived in the wild

[philessexuk]

@Naustics actually we have nothing to do with it animals develop their own instincts, we just help introduce them to other species, and it does nothing to alter there nature.

in the wild other animal species have been found caring for other animals of a different species

[Avalancheau]

@Naustics Its more so a reflection of how we havent affected our animals than how we have. They were lazy and well fed at the time, whereas if they were like us, they would be well fed, lazy, but still want to eat more. you probably thought you wrote something insightful and intelligent when you posted this, you were wrong.

[mikk999]

@Naustics Those cats dont' belong in the wild. They're just from a long line of animals bred to be pets.

[thingjob]

@Naustics Better they lose a way of lifethan they lose their life.

[estoyaqui85]

@Naustics I ask myself if YOU could survive in the wild!!!

[superham21]

1:55 cool

[polderwijffie]

@superham21

Its shit;)

But i cleaned it.

And again and again and again.

It was the risk i took.

Never mind....the little bird survived.

So did my lazy cats.

[CNSS2008]

@superham21 LOL

[MsEZRA1234]

are you sure that is safe for the little bird? i dont trust cats around small animals or birds.

[polderwijffie]

@MsEZRA1234

I was sure.

The cats were lazy and well feed.

And that little bird was very brutal.

He survived and after 5 weeks we brought him to a birdshelter.

This movie was taken in 1990.

[gr8fzy1]

Eeeewwwwwwww....birdy poo...

[Galirouslan]

I love 90's and 80's 

[Crazyfrog2frogs]

Nederland !!! Hadden de katten net gegeten?

[polderwijffie]

@Crazyfrog2frogs

Nee hoor....gewoon een stel vreselijk verwende en luie katten die niet wisten wat hun overkwam dat er een brutale ekster in de kamer rondhipte.

De katten waren gewoon bang...maar vreselijk lief.

[gumby1008]

something broke their predator instinct

[sharkess]

aww i have jst found a baby magpie that looks just like that magpie it cant fly yet or feed itself i have 9 cats an was wondering if i can get them all to get along with each other i dont know if i should risk it or not.?

[KutWrite]

@sharkess - May be too late now, but no, not recommended. This bird was lucky or well supervised. I wouldn't take the chance, keeping them together. One swipe of a claw and it's a blind or dead bird.

[kitarajumala]

the cats are like locked to the bird. " missile locked " ...you know

poor bird.

[SourApplez1211]

All of them would be dead by now.

[scraffs224]

nice vid!

[lilmissgaga]

I ♥ this, it's soo cute (:

[ChemicalPixel]

Crazy was actually written by Willie Nelson. The cats look a little nervous around the bird. Where are you guys from? This looks like an African Pied Crow, they cost in between 900-1500. Sorry about the lost cats. I lost my bird not long ago .

[polderwijffie]

@ChemicalPixel

Thanks for your comment.

I didnot know that the song was written by Willie Nelson.

The cats were nervous.Just spoiled cats.

The bird was a baby magpie.

I found the bird when it was feld out of the nest.

So i tried to feed him and within 2 weeks he was as big as in the movie.

After 5 weeks he tried to fly ,so i brought him to a bird-shelter,where he was released after a few weeks.Old enough to find his own food.

We are from The Netherlands.

Lovely country, nice people ;)

[SaiyanHajime]

@ChemicalPixel This is what real magpies (pica pica) look like. This one looks like a young European magpie. They grow long tails.

[Leebsterftw]

@SaiyanHajime it looks like what we call Pee wees in Australia. our magpies are in the crow family and are quite big

[SaiyanHajime]

@Leebsterftw Australian magpies aren't members of the crow family, but pica pica (the one in the video) are. There seems to be a bit of confusion about them because they share a name. And yeah, pica pica does have very similar markings to a pee wee! (magpie-lark)

People need to stop naming birds magpies which aren't members of the magpie (pica pica) family to avoid all this confusion! :S

[SkyInHeritor]

What is the name of this song? Could somone be so nice to informe me? Thanks!

[polderwijffie]

@SkyInHeritor

The first song is Crzay, by Juglio Iglesias.

The other song is Fragile,also by Julio Iglesias.

But Sting sings it also.

You are welcome !

[polderwijffie]

@SkyInHeritor

Had ik het net zo goed in het Nederlands kunnen antwoorden.

Crazy, gezongen door Julio Iglesias.

En Fragile, ook gezongen door J . I.

Maar de orginele versie is van Sting.

[Blackhawkflygirl]

What a big heart you have to help & feed the baby bird. What a perfect ending too, thanks to you he got to know what it's like to be happy and healthy and wild. :)

[polderwijffie]

Thank you so much for your nice comment on the video One bird and many cats.

This was in 1990.

The cats on the video do not live anymore.

April 2008 we found a dead mothercat with 4 kittens, one day old.

The kittens were alive.

They were saved and 3 of those kittens are now almost 2 years old and living here with 3 other cats.

In 2005 we had a fire and we lost 5 of our 10 cats.

But now we are a happy cat family.

Greetz,

Agnes, alias polderwijffie from the Netherlands

[Blackhawkflygirl]

@polderwijffie - Oh no. I'm so sorry about the fire, that's horrible! It makes me have some faith left in humanity when I come across good people like you guys. I truly wish everyone had a respect for ALL living creatures. :)

[animallover333]

@polderwijffie - this is a lovely vid. You did a very beautiful thing, and that little Magpie will always be grateful for you giving him/her a second chance. :-)

I'm so sorry to hear that you lost 5 of your cats in a fire - I know how upsetting it must have been to lose them.

I competely argree with Blackhawkflygirl that it is so nice to come across kind people in this world like you who love and respect all animals. :-)

[GenS92]

ręce sobie ku*wa obetnijcie a nie ptakom skrzydła !!

[KezzyPagan]

Is that bird a pet or is it wild?

[polderwijffie]

We found that little bird ,it falled out of the nest.

We tried to feed it and we succeeded.

In this movie he was about 3 weeks old and did his first steps.

2 weeks later we brought him to a bird shelter and there he was with other birds to learn how he could find his own food.

Later he was a free bird.

So...he is a wild bird.

[KezzyPagan]

Ahh right cool ^^

[taaang4lyfe]

<3 siamese 4 eva

[WhiteStarWoman]

Those cats are a disgrace to cats everywhere, lol.

[romansoldierofhonor]

LMAO!!! @ 1:55

the bird takes a dump and then looks at the cat like "there ya go, present for ya, bitch stop following me"...

magpies are a unique and very cool bird.

[iwanttoseeeverything]

a baby magpie

[AbsoluteVeronica]

When the magpie falls over the chair...awesome.

[polderwijffie]

He did that constantly.

Where my cats were, was the magpie.

He had no idea that they were cats and my cats had no idea that they could eat that little thing.

Spoiled cats as they were.

The movie was longer,but too long for YouTube.

I guess he was at that time 2 weeks old.

We found him when he was just born.

After 5 or 6 weeks he went to a birdshelter.

[Kawaiibat]

Ok at first I thought the owners had cut it's tail feathers. *few* but if it's still a chick...

[zzytrewq]

A couple of confused or very contented cats. They need to read the rule book.

[kikidemon]

lol!! he's so cute! baby maggie.. <3333

glad all went well. =3

[cinexstudios]

1.55 birds crapping and cats like wtf!

[rumblelishous]

my cat is half simease and half tabby she is lovely

[Diatomus]

what are the music's titles?

good vid 2

[polderwijffie]

The first one is Crazy, Julio Iglesias

The second one is Fragile(Sting) , this time by Julio Iglesias and the guitarplayer is Sting.

[Diatomus]

thank you (:

[CattyCatRanch]

Wonderful video!

And thanks for taking care of cats. (;^)

[Alysprettyrad]

Aww! Is that just a baby magpie? It looks like it because of the length of the tail.

[buzzard73gmail]

Yes it is.

[greengrendel]

magpies look evil but they are so cool. Cute baby magpie ^^

[Nhoshishi]

1:57 the bird took a crap. lol that too funny.

[jawa3521]

That Magpie looks like it has had it's tail feathers removed to preventit from flying away, I love funny animal videos, but if that is the case it's cruelty.

[polderwijffie]

This was a very very young magpie.

On this video he was about 2 weeks old.

So his feathers were not the way as it should be with a "grown"magpie.

After 5, nearly 6 weeks, we brought him to a birdshelter.

A few weeks later he was ol enough to fly away.

Believe me...we love (our) animals very very much.

Just look at my other slideshow about the fire in our house.

We lost 2 cats that night and later we had to euthanised 3 cats.

Its more then 3 years ago,but it still hurts very much.

[killedhands]

That Magpie is a chicken... because of that it's tail feathers are short...

[buzzard73gmail]

Sorry, but the Magpie is a baby Magpie. The tail feathers haven't grown out yet.

[killedhands]

OK, I can see that there was a mistake with my english (sorry i'm spanish). I wanted to say that this magpie is a little one,,, and someone has understud when i said "chicken" that i was talking about HEN CHICKEN!!! LOL!!

[DunkirkObserver]

ahaha bird pooped while staring down the Siamese 2 minutes in Aha haha!

[AnimaxRules]

Lmao, If there were wild nature that bird would be sooo dead.

btw, cool bird, I would like to pet a bird T_T

[wazzo07]

oh man i cant believe i sat here and watched this shit for 3 minutes and 30 seconds if i wanted to watch a bird i would go to the park

[hasamoto72]

are you my mommy cool vid

[mexican10a]

is that a crow??

[polderwijffie]

It is a magpie.

Related to a crow.

Magpies live in Asia en Europe.

Very brutal, very funny and very many magpies.

[Sjamsucks]

Magpies also live in north america

[gaybird7]

Thanks for sharing this video with us. That is wonderful. Animals are so inquisitive and "real". I just love them.

[lenanik2009]

Very beautiful bird :P

[zero5177]

LOL! the Bird Shitting In front of the cat at 1.56!

[polderwijffie]

I cleaned it ;)

[RoeDirt33]

so sweet :) how do the cats know NOT to eat the bird?

[polderwijffie]

Just lazy cats.

VERY LAZY CATS !!!

And the magpie was here for a several weeks so the cats knew that little bird.

Later, when we had Yari, he would eat every bird we would have at home.

[TheBeowulfrules]

This Magpie is about 1month on this video right?

And do you know how old it was when it started flying?

[polderwijffie]

He was 4 weeks on this video.

When he was about 6 weeks ( they grow very fast) we brought him to a birdshelter and when he was 3 months old, they told us he could be a free bird.

[PalestinianV]

the bird could be eaten easilly by the cats, it is small !

[lalatonyeu]

Can somebody tell me what's the name of the song? :D

[polderwijffie]

The name of the song is Fragile.

The singer is Julio Iglesesias,but originial it was Sting.

[MittenCooper13]

okay polderwijffie is incorrect about the first song is crazy, and was originally sang by pasty cline

[Sansash01202]

And you were incorrect too .. pasty cline lol - she may well have been pasty .. but her name was Patsy Cline!!

[DarkKingFlo]

Ahh, I really enjoyed this video. I totally went like 'aww' when the magpie trips over the chair.. and yay for the silly cats!

[fuiiee]

wow! your bird must be very brave!!

[stunnaonflyrims]

Ya see this is why I only have fish.... 1:54

[polderwijffie]

I clean the house several times a day.Don't you?

Yek.....lol !!!

Thanks anyway...like you too.

[skodas]

in the 1970s there was a program Called Magpie

[jelly363346]

that is nice to know  (sarcastic)

[GentleTaipan]

what happened to the magpie's tail feathers?

[polderwijffie]

It was a very very young bird, only a few weeks old.

So later he was a big bird and we brought him to a bird shelter and after a few weeks, he was released.

[Jerkwaad]

1990 ahhhhh what a period of time!

[sikorski]

Super video! And, it's really ironic that your cats didn't harm the young magpie, because adult magpies have a reputation for eating other smaller species of young birds. So bravo to you and your laid back cats! Bravo! :-)

[saffronix]

Nice video; I especially liked the song.

To poster: I see you're from The Netherlands. Is that magpie native to The Netherlands?

[polderwijffie]

The magpie is native to Europe and a part of Asia.

Its family of the crow.

I guess you know the crow?

And thanks for your comment.

[Brennna]

I like the words of the song, "how fragile we are" when they are watching that little bird trying to walk. I always liked that song. I'm glad the little guy survived.

[polderwijffie]

Thank you so very very much.

Its sometimes difficult (for a Dutch woman) to find the right words.

Your message touched me.

Yes, he did survived...i think because my cats were lazy and may be a little bit fat?

[illuminatioracle]

did david lynch direct the first half of this video?

[deedart]

so pretty

[FlyBikes089]

Does, that baby bird (raven) or (crow) so still alive or away?

[polderwijffie]

It was a magpie.

I made that movie in 1990.

The baby bird stayed in our house for 5 weeks, then we brought him to a bird shelter.

A few weeks later he was big enough to release him (or her).

[FlyBikes089]

That magpie?

Wow, I've seen magpie before but actually I was saw on ads T.V does but I was thought were its fake but it so real! I cannot believe about that...

Also, I glad that you was care of magpie bird for keep safety and feed baby magpie then brought him to a bird shelter till he change as big enough to release to anywhere!

So, I am honor you!

*5 rating (again) and, add playlist!

[polderwijffie]

Thank you so very much !!

I saw you love trains.

Great, just great.

We have only a few old trains in the Netherlands.

But we do have a museum with very old trains in the town where i was born:Utrecht.

The Netherlands is too small to let the trains ride (??, i hope you understand what i mean).

I added you to my playlist.

Greeets,

Agnes

[FlyBikes089]

Your welcome!

Of course, I love trains ever in my life and, actually I love animals too but sorry I don't have any pets at in my home but it was I was have fish but were was dead because of cold :(

Yeah, I know that Netherlands had alot trains from them but I never experience ride trains at in Netherlands in my life but probably in future I can visit there at anytime. Yes, I understand you say. :)

[pie2709]

[CrazyJiggawatts]

[Nemolicious32]

They look Siamese?

[JadeTaupie]

Absolument fantastique, merveilleux, mignon tout plein. Merci pour ce commentaire vidéo sur ma vidéo. A bientôt.

[CrimsonREJ]

LOL @ 1:01 "Shouldn't I be eating you right now?, ugh the food chains all fucked up these days"

[polderwijffie]

He was an oriental shorthair,Mandarin.

The brown one was en oriental shorthair,Havanna.

Yosha, the black one, died last year,20 years old.

He survived a fire in our house.

[jacu25]

The black cat is gorgeous! He/She looked like a Black Panther.

[JulianOJay]

It's just amazing ... beautiful video, story and song ... I llike the "mandarin oriental shorthair", he's just wonderful ^^

Thx for this video !! ;)

[polderwijffie]

Thnks.

If you are a Frenchman, your English is very good.

The mandarig died last year,he was 20 years old.

Now we have 7 cats, as we called them here: European Shorthair.

[JulianOJay]

Yes, I'm a Frenchman and I guess my English is not very good but I'm totaly crazy about this language, so I LOVE speak in English ^^

Then, I've made a search on net and I like European Shorthair ! Before, we had 2 cats like that ... but now, they are dead (16 and 20 years old) ... now, we haven't got any pets at home !!

Oh, I've forgotten, Thx to have said the name of the song ... I'm listening it again, again and again ^^

[polderwijffie]

Your English is better then my French.

The first song you can hear is "Crazy"from Julio Iglesias.

The second song is "Fragile", also sung by Julio Iglesias.

But the song was origianlly sung by Sting.

I like french songs.

Jist look at my movie called "Moe" and listen to the song" Ne me demande rien".

Its my favorite.

Last year 3 motherless kittens came in our house, now they are almost 11 months old.

Greets, Agnes/polderwijffie

[JulianOJay]

Just for the song, I talked about "Fragile" and Thx again ^^

The song "ne me demande rien" is really beautifull ^^

[bulldog1961]

LOL. I can't believe your cats. That bird wouldn't last 2 seconds around my 3.

[dkhluv85]

that bird is so cute! but why didnt he fly? is he wounded or smth? he didnt even flock 'em when he tried to jump over the chair's wheel ...

& the cats were funny too! ha ha they're like what is that? who's he? LOL

(RIP)

btw, whats the name of the song?

[polderwijffie]

The bird was a magpie.

We found him when he was maybe 1 day old.

At the time of the movie he was about 2 weeks old, so he could not fly at that time.

The name of the song is Fragile, by Julio Iglesias.

[soykoko]

At 01:54 bird delivers black egg, lol!!

[m46607]

he poops at 1:55 ...

[strawbary]

love the kittys! oriental short hairs?

[polderwijffie]

Yes, they were siamese (thai), the black one is an Mandarin oriental horthair and the brown one is a Havanna oh.

They all donot live anymore,the movie was made in 1990.

[peaceintheworld2007]

LOL - the cats don't seem to have a clue what to do..

[Barcode711]

What kind of bird is that?

[polderwijffie]

It is a magpie.

[nynor]

great video. good music, too.

we had a juvenile robin come down our chimney one summer morning. my cat had that bird the second it came out of the fireplace. i'd never seen my cat jump that high.

[JediZienna]

that is one brave bird!

I have 8 cats and if that bird was there things would not have gone good.

Great video!

[sinkalong]

I love your choice of music to go with your films.  Am looking forward to watching more. loved the New Year Greeting. Thank you from Australia.

[polderwijffie]

Thanks a lot.

This movie is an old one (1990), but with good memories.

Now we have 7 cats, 3 motherless kittens ( 9 months old now) and 4 adult cats.

[MissyKairi]

That poor mommy cat. She had a lot of babys I could tell. My cat had that, it wasn't that bad, though. Plus, she was a little chubby. Had no kittens.

[komotegusta]

k bue video

[cherrycola8795]

aww its a baby

[ChristianMuslim247]

ok...wat is wrong with the cat in 1:04

wats going on with its stomach

it looks flappy...CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHATS UP WITH IT? im scared

[laupiaslammas]

nothing un normal just calm down.

[Moncantha]

Its just flab (excess stretched skin) from where the cat used to be fat. Most probably from too much food but it could of had a litter of kittens.

[acogr]

She have kittens, or she waiting them.I think!

[T779298RA1]

roflmao

[anipussirhc]

one day they will kill it, its there nature

[helloshawn100]

well probably not it dosnt matter what animal it is a cat would eat another cat, its just in the wild were it would go for the bird but they are all domesticated so it probably wont happen

[urway2lo]

polderwijffe nice video and happy new year! Im not too thrilled about our new president thou

[nogginthefroggin]

I think thats actually a little baby penguin, lol.

[iseemofo]

i thought it was a magpie :S

[nogginthefroggin]

yes, it's a magpie, but if you play the video, but cover his legs with your hand, you will see a baby penguin appear!!

[Moncantha]

Yeah i think so too, penguins have ornage feet and their feet are not very long like that.

[Dylanius]

I REALLY want a bird like that!
