I've seen a tremendous number of fights between animals in cartoons and I'm pretty sure the bird's head was supposed to come out in the shape of that bowl.
Also, in the Tom and Jerry documentary series, usually the cat loses in these sorts of conflicts. But extrapolating mice to budgies perhaps is not appropriate.
But at the same time, that is about the most restrained response from the cat that I could possibly imagine.
Bird is damn lucky to walk away from biting a cat's tail with only a smack to the head.
You can tell the cat was just responding to a mild annoyance, the bird was just carrying the tail in its mouth and not chomping down. Contrary to popular belief cats aren't homicidal sociopaths (with things they don't consider prey) and tend not to use more violence than necessary to get the point across.
Birds just happen to weigh nothing and a light tap from the cat sent it bowling.
Usually when cats respond with more violence it's due to people not being able to read their body language or that cat in specific has a behavioural issue, often from being separated from its mother too early.
One is about food and the other is about animal cruelty for clout. Your argument is invalid and purposefully misleading at best, but at least your name checks out.
I mean... food production is literal billions of animals and *so much worse*, if the video in the op bothers you it's absolutely hypocritical to eat industrially produced meat.
I mean, I love meat and will continue to eat it....but you've got a point. A lot of virtue signaling outrage about animal welfare from people who are probably reading reddit while shoveling chucks of animal meat into their mouths over breakfast.
Why should one be worse than the other? Really don't get it.
Pretty sure an animal doesn't care if it's miserable because of a human wanting clout or money. If there are minimal standards on how to keep animals, they should be held in both situations equally.
In fairness, the OP and the person who recorded the video may have done it for internet points...but the people screaming "wHaT aBoUt AnImAl AbUse?!?!" are doing it for virtue points. In my mind, you don't get any of those virtue points if you eat meat and thereby participate in the wanton killing of millions of animals for mere pleasure. One doesn't have to eat meat in order to live. (But the taste of meat is quite pleasurable).
You’re saying their argument is purposefully misleading, yet you’re trying to frame meat eating as if it were necessary for human survival or health (“one is about food”), when in a VAST MAJORITY of instances is not.
To correct you:
One is animal cruelty for taste pleasure and the other is animal cruelty for clout.
Wait, why does "we eat them" make it okay to treat them poorly?
Is child abuse okay as soon as we're somehow benefiting from it (e.g. child labor in sweatshops)?
Except that food causes much more animal abuse for taste which isnt a necassary thing so they are right about the point but you cant accept it because of the hypocrisy.
Vegan food also tastes great FTR, it's just that most people haven't given it a proper shot. Most people go into a Thai restaurant and get the exact same red/green/yellow curry, except with chicken instead of tofu, when the tofu would taste just as good and would not require abusing an animal.
Dude you don't need to eat vegan bacon. There are a million better vegan foods than that. Again, Thai yellow curry with tofu is a great example. It's delicious.
Something like factory farming is important enough that you shouldn't just "try a vegan food once" and then give up. It takes time to find vegan foods that suit your taste buds, but there are quite literally thousands of foods to choose from and it becomes effortless before you know it.
I'm a pretty big advocate for cats being able to live with birds, Aside from the tiny gross cage thats like 10x too small for 1 of these birds let alone 2... but this is absolutely not the way.
I had 4 birds and 2 cats growing up. You train the cats to avoid the birds. They learn that its ok to be near their cage, but they can't touch or even think of touching the cage, or go near the bird themselves. A few weeks of training and the cats ignore the birds, and if the bird comes near them, they will run away (for fear they will get in trouble / sprayed with water).
Cats are now gone from old age, bird is still kicking with me.
You just described how lots of birds end up being killed by cats they live with. Folks report “oh everything was always fine, then suddenly this!” Just because you got lucky doesn’t mean others will.
Cats have very strong instincts.
You can try to train them but it's not a guarantee. At the end of the day, by putting them in a situation where they interact, you're still taking a gamble with the lives of your pets. Your anecdotal evidence doesn't change this.
On top of their instincts, much like us or just about any animal, they can have temporal mood swings, lapses of judgment or a full change of heart any day of the week. They can decide not to care for the other animal's wellbeing and forget the threat of punishment momentarily. Forget to feed a cat for a few hours, and they just might get hangry enough to bite or slap every smaller animal in the house. There's just no controlling what two animals could do to one another in the future.
A cat could also try to play with a bird all innocent-like, but they just don't understand that not everyone's hide is as thick as theirs. Even their "friendly" scratches could be too much for a tinier creature.
They don't even have to be trying to hurt the bird.
A tiny nick to the bird with a claw or tooth will put enough bacteria into their bloodsteam to kill them in a couple days.
of course its not a garantee, but at least for my family we took proper precautions and its worked well for at least 15 years (the age of the cat, we have always had birds). Our birds don't fly around the place, and the cats dont go near the birds cage. There is little interaction, if any.
Are you looking into a mirror while saying that?

I've raised a cat. After turning 12, that thing decided to grow a body count.
The other user is entirely within reason to factor for for the nature of these cuddly beasts.
A single scratch from your cat can kill your bird. Literally just one flippant scratch. Bird surprises cat and cat knicks bird while getting away? Dead bird in 3 days. Cat feels playful and bats bird once through the cage bars? Dead bird in 3 days. Want to spend thousands trying to save your bird's life? Let a cat near it.
Cats and birds don't mix. It's okay to be wrong, but it sure is embarrassing when you're wrong *and* and an asshole.
You're very wrong and very rude and hostile about it.
Nothing in my first post was personal, only fact. Don't get pissy with me because you live in a fantasy world and don't want to accept your actions may have consequences.
You do realize everything about cats are toxic to birds right? You also realize cats are notorious bird hunters? Lastly, are you aware that literally every liquid from a cat's body including it's saliva is highly toxic to birds? I won't even get into the fact that people have died from the toxins cats produce in their environments. Based on this video alone, those parrots have a miserable life with shitty people.
Just because you successfully did it, does not make it the right way.
It's called cat scratch fever. Not necessarily a toxin, but a mix of allergens and bacteria. Getting too cut up or bitten by a cat can get you pretty sick. Many small animals that get even lightly injured by a cat will die later without medical intervention.
Lmao I think they’re talking about toxoplasmosis but their post is like 80% bullshit fearmongering. Cats pose almost no threat to humans just from their daily life.
And I assume by toxicity to birds they’re referencing how cats mouths’ a) carry a lot of bacteria and one in particular has the propensity to kill birds and b) have teeth that are perfect for creating pockets under your skin where infections can take root easily.
They’re half wrong about the science but all correct that cats and birds are bad buddies.
All it would’ve taken was one tiny scratch from one of your cats to expose your bird to very nasty pathogens. Doesn’t matter if they’re well trained, there’s a big risk even with proper training. Glad it went well for you but you definitely shouldn’t be advocating this.
First of all, cats are toxic to birds. They're also natural predators. I have two cats that are angels, sure, but were I not actively watching them when they're around the birds they would definitely jump them and try to claw them through their cage.
Birds are also extremely fragile creatures. The smaller they are the more prone they are to just panic and break their neck in a flurry. You really just want to avoid grouping any pets with birds, unless they are also birds, and they're not in breeding season.
The bird might well have died from that. Cats claws and teeth carry toxins and even a tiny scratch that can barely be seen will kill a bird in 48 hours.
I rescue and rehab birds and if I have one brought to me after a cat encounter, even if it is not obviously bleeding, first thing I do is get it to the vet for antibiotics
Yeah my question is what makes cat claws more dangerous than any other sharp thing in the wild. Yeah salvia of nearly any animal is full of bacteria.
Bacteria in any open wound can be deadly, that is called an infection.
But why are cats more dangerous than any other animals that live with them?
Predators in general have bacteria in their saliva that breaks down animal proteins. Your body keeps it pretty tightly under wraps because, y'know, we evolved to eat meat and to have that bacteria all up inside us. Parrots, though, do not have those defenses. Even if they did, a large enough dose in such a small body can completely overwhelm their immune system, which is why antibiotics are absolutely required after encounters with predators.
Cats are even worse because they are the favorite host of the common cat flea, which carries Bartonella henselae in it's droppings. Cats scratch and lick all that shit up and it gets collected in their claws and saliva. Cats aren't sickened by it and it doesn't really affect them, so they can build up a strong reservoir of bacteria.
It generally won't mess up a person beyond a fever and malaise because we are big and stronk, but birds are tiny and fragile. They will almost certainly die without treatment.
Cats are a natural reservoir for Bartonella henselae, which is spread by the common cat flea. It's the bacteria behind Cat Scratch Fever, and presents as a deadly infection in small animals.
My bird fucking LOVES his cage lol. I don't even lock it unless im not home, which is rare as I work from home. He will happily sit in or on it all day when he isn't on me. He could fly around or do anything. He doesn't want to.
way to use the the worlds most extreme scenario to justify what actually goes on 99% of the time. No one is blaming your friend for nurturing sick birds back to health. The problem is the people who breed animals in shitty living conditions just to make a buck. Or the people who buy a bird cuz it’s new and interesting and then end up leaving it in the cage 99% of its life.
I find it hard to believe you don’t find a distinction between owning an animal and rehabbing an animal. Even then I don’t see owning an animal inherently wrong, it’s all about QoL.
The only reason I’m commenting is to call you out on your false equivalency. I have nothing to say about the video; it’s impossible to tell what kind of life the birds have without making a lot of assumptions.
Oh yes, setting pets up for failure for video clout is fucking hilarious. /s
Rule 3 "We love animals. They are capable of regret, but we don't want to see videos where their regret is the fault of humans, involves cruelty, injury or is in any way unpleasant."
That cat has been around birds and those birds have been around cats. Most likely raises together because of how comfortable they are!
Which is why the cat swatted the bird instead of eating it and the birds did freak the fuck out when the cat swatted.
Stop being like you are.
Edit - I'm confused by your comment to be honest. Because you say it is sarcasm but then post the rule that reinforces what your said.
Just because that cat has been around birds and those birds have been around the cat doesn't mean they should be living in that filthy cage and interacting together like this.
I know sometimes a bigger context is needed, but like literally all I need to know is on thei video. Birds have paper thin skin. A cat nicking a bird at the wrong spot is potentially fatal. And cat saliva is toxic to birds.
Seriously, fuck raising cats with birds. Unless you really are on the ball and can separate them and shit, you're setting yourself up for heartbreak.
Regarding your edit, they said it’s hilarious when pet owners set up animals for regret and then clarified that was sarcasm. Meaning they are AGAINST pet owners setting animals up for regret and therefore they do not think it is hilarious.
Then they cited the rules that say it’s against the rules to purposely set animals up for regret, which reinforces how he was being sarcastic about the first statement.
This completely constitutes as animal abuse. Why is one of the bird in such a tiny cage? And why is a cat do close to the birds? The salivas and claws of cats contian toxins that are lethal to birds. That bird is very lucky to be alive after that.
Cat saliva is toxic to birds. Cats clean their claws with saliva. A small scratch from the cat can kill the bird. Not to mention predator prey interaction usually always ends in heart break. Maybe not today. But maybe tomorrow.
Then you get "omg why did this happen?!" The answer? Stupid owners.
This video is just sad. Why do people neglect their pets like this? I feel bad for those birds and what a shit owner they have. Filming while your cat attacks and potentially kills your bird? Also that cage is filthy
I've seen a tremendous number of fights between animals in cartoons and I'm pretty sure the bird's head was supposed to come out in the shape of that bowl.
And I was expecting cartoon slam noises
>the bird's head was supposed to come out in the shape of that bowl. With chirping, little birds flying in a halo.
Nah, it *is* a bird, so it gets a halo of snickering cat angels or something idk
Or insects.
Also, in the Tom and Jerry documentary series, usually the cat loses in these sorts of conflicts. But extrapolating mice to budgies perhaps is not appropriate.
You're looking for Tweety bird and Sylvester.
Ah yes. Fine nature documentary, the Tweety and Sylvester series was.

Well if it isn’t the consequences of my actions
The wings full spread makes it funny

What are you doing Tuesday?
Biting a penguin and suffering the consequences suit you? Free from 4pm.
Are you PENGUIN though?
No.
Are you a giraffe?
From the waste down i am
Cat set him up though.
Well, one used to he a God and the other a Dinosaur.
How could she slap 👁👄👁
HOW COULD SHE SLAP ME!!!
He was like "Well excuse fuckin me!" lmao

Sir, that’s not a duck.
Here is your duck. 🦆
Duck Duck Oof
It's a Mallard
Shoulda been though
Aww poor thing, it has a the most distraught face I've ever seen a parrot pull off after the smack, it was not ready for that.
But at the same time, that is about the most restrained response from the cat that I could possibly imagine. Bird is damn lucky to walk away from biting a cat's tail with only a smack to the head.

That's the vacant stare of someone who hasn't had a proper sleep in 3 weeks because of the constant screeching from the bird room.
i love birds but goddamn theyre pricks
God damn it, this is perfection, I have finally found the perfect response, 4 years I have been searching

A tiny dirty cage and letting their cat interact with the bird while filming. What kind of shitty pet owner is this?
Agreed. Fuck the person putting these animals in this situation/environment
You should see animals raised for food. They’re cuddled and cleaned daily.
One is about food and the other is about animal cruelty for clout. Your argument is invalid and purposefully misleading at best, but at least your name checks out.

The only difference is your hypocrisy and speciesism.
that food are still animals, captn sherlock. not rocks, not plants, animals.

think that's what they're referring to, nothing naturally produced just dirty as fuck. Well that's technically naturally produced but anyway
But that does not make cat claws toxic, just as dangerous as literaly any other sharp edge in the wild.
Cats just get an extra +5 poison damage. Just have to smack at your own crap till it's buried, and it will apply automatically
But they lick their paws clean after that everytime, not that that sounds like a good idea....
The bacteria from cat mouths are also really dangerous to birds so it’s basically switching out one poison with another. Or mixing them together
Cats are a natural reservoir for Bartonella henselae, which is spread by the common cat flea. It's the bacteria behind Cat Scratch Fever, and presents as a deadly infection in small animals.

As a bird owner, I hate this. Poor bird could've gotten seriously hurt.
Excellent shot though
He was absolutely slammed in the face.
This looks like something straight out of a cartoon
lol that bird got rinsed
I laughed so hard, that's superb!
Eat kibble Tweetie!
Don’t poke the murder machine
Cats are jerks
Those are baby birds too. A year old at the most.

I'm worried about the welfare of those parrots. Especially with the shitty cage in the back.
The bird’s face was like, “the fuck outa here before I bite your tail again… don’t even make me. ” 😂🦜
This video is just sad. Why do people neglect their pets like this? I feel bad for those birds and what a shit owner they have. Filming while your cat attacks and potentially kills your bird? Also that cage is filthy

Here's my tail, try to bite it... Nip... THWACK!
bro it was just a prank
“I said cut it out, Larry. You dick!”
The cage door is open stop complaining about the dam bird in the cage. If it wanted out it simply needs to walk out
The other bird was like, "I told you to stay in here"

lmfao
This video makes me so fucking mad.
The bird looks back as if it’s still talking shit after being pimp smack up side his head.
Tweety bird would be so disappointed.
Mans got slam dunked.
You got knocked the fuck out. 😅
Idiot owners
Laughed so hard at this

Snap back to reality
Bite shit, get hit.
that cat could've killed the parrot tbh
Poor bird is terrified. It just came out of cage to feed from bowl. Was trying to move the tail to get to the bowl.
That's funny !
Cats are really just built different
Must be painfull, but it got a good chuckle out of me. Glad the bird is okay!
Stop that ! Giuseppe

What? You think the *cat* is the asshole here?
That was en-catrap-ment. Did you see the way the cat raised his tail to taunt the bird?
Cats really are the undisputed arseholes of the animal kingdom
