Ravens vs. Cat in tree - Standoff and retreat HD raw footage

[popesnose]

After the poor cat starts to retreat it sounds like the crows start saying "HAH-HAH-HAH" I have a jet black cat that sits in a screened window that has trees outside, the crows come and caw at him and he chatters back....lucky for him the screen is there. Ravens are no joke, look at the feather manes on them...lions of the air. :)

No doubt this cat was probably on real trouble here, and only realized it after it was too late! Good thing all ended well for everyone =) Thanks for checking it out!

What is fascinating is the behavior of #1 bird. Ravens are smart problem-solvers with odd behaviors (a "murder of crows"...they stand around a dead comrade). That bird knew enough about cats to know he was in the "catbird" seat. Fascinating.

A lot of viewers were probably disappointed that there wasn't any physical contact in this one, but there was still plenty going on - I felt like the raven was trying to get close enough to taunt the cat into a jumping attack and potential fall. Clever indeed! I once saw a lone injured raven tumble to the ground after a bungled tree landing. Within 5 minutes his alarm calls brought 100+ noisy agitated buddies to his aid from out of nowhere. Definitely some brainwork and kinship there! =)

I see a cat attack and lose out against a baby crow; pussies all of em when it comes to it.

we all learn with patience

[jcmegabyte]

Fortunately, this cat survived the lesson! :-) Thanks for stopping by!

[jcmegabyte]

They are surprisingly big - even when just standing on the ground :-) Thanks for checking it out!

This is the first time I ever saw a cat running away from birds haha ;)

Wise cat!

Great footage JC!

[jcmegabyte]

Yea, it is an unusual turn of the tables but in this case I think the cat did indeed make the best choice! :-)

[micbergsma]

YEAH!!!! birds won!!!

[jcmegabyte]

Does this remind you of the game "Angy Birds" somehow? :-) Thanks for checking it out!

[micbergsma]

@jcmegabyte haha now I do!

[singingwithrosellas]

[jcmegabyte]

[nafunkdegroove]

cats will never be my style!

[jcmegabyte]

...so I guess you were rooting for the birds all along! XD Thanks so much for stopping by =)

[Traveler2112]

Run awayyyyyyy!!

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

Yea - that cat had the right idea in this case... live to eat bird another day :-)

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

They certainly weren't taking any guff from that cat :-) Thanks for visiting!

[Fire666Hell]

:D

They're probably swearing,threatening :D

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

I would love to have a cat and bird translator for this one! :-)

[o7jimmy]

LOL.

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

Thanks for checking it out!  =)

[GreatGig1]

Good to see everyone made it out of that one! I get this feeling that those two birds could have taken that cat! I don't know what those birds were talking about, but they got all my dogs barking and running outside barking looking for them...or were they looking for the cat? Hmmmmm....LOL

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

The dogs around here really love to bark at the squirrels running through the trees, but they'll settle for some birds and cat in the tree if the squirrels aren't around! :-)

[IllPropaganda]

I'm just up the way from you, in the AV. I know those Ravens don't play! Have seen them peck at cats walking a fence!

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

Yea - they're surprisingly big if you can get up close to them - more than a match for a cat I think! :-O

[knytebyte]

And the pussy ate crow.

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

He was certainly thinking about anyway!  :-)

[Myaucat]

wow... he got up there pretty high!!  cuuuute!

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

Yea - at one point he was 25-30 feet up! Good thing he got down safely :-)

[MPSecare]

raven/crow/jackdaw w/e you call it, they are one of the smartest birds out there!

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

...and they don't take any BS from cats either! :-)

[TheMirrorCracked]

Quoth the raven, 'Nevermore.'  I'm sure the cat agrees.

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

Indeed! :-) Thanks for visiting!

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

[taofledermaus]

What I've give for a raven-translation!  I'm sure they are talking smack to the cat! Great video!

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

No doubt there were some choice taunts and insults! XD A cat and bird translator woudld have been priceless!

[UPTHElRS]

great target practice vid... MAN get that cat a silencer with a blow gun mount. love to see that on film :) enjoyed the show.

take care, of those cats.

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

The cat sure could have used some help or advanced weapons in this case! XD 

[oriana379]

Interesting!  It wasn't funny for this cat ...

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

He definitely got into an undesirable situation there - those birds had the advantage! XD Thanks for checking it out =)

[SlaveZero1234]

Great video!

I guess they won't eat each other up^^

I hope the cat learned it lesson!

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

It was definitely a stalematethis time but somehow I don't that cat learned his lesson...  Must be a cat thing! Cheers =)
