My old cat wasn't interested in birds. Mice or skinks he'd spend hours and usually catch it. I saw him sitting out the front of the house once and a bird flew into the window and knocked itself out. It would have landed about 2'feet in front of the cat. He just looked at it. It came too and flew away, he never moved.
Our Burmese removed nearly every common myna or Indian myna from the suburb he was relentless,he should have been cloned by the csiro as a lethal weapon against them and let a few of him go under princess street bridge for a few weeks

We feed a trio of magpies but the last couple of days we’ve been invaded by a bush turkey which all the other birds hate, going by the squawking and dive-bombing. We are trying to drive it away but it keeps coming back so have to be careful not to leave any food out or it will never go.
FFS, that is crap. Tonkinese cat here, now only watches the magpies and they can walk freely in backyard and still just watches.
He in virtual retirement mode and content to just watch a magpie outdoors after he learned to watch animals on tv screen on youtube in last month and a bit.
I remember last summer some Ravens or something like a Crow used to swoop Burmese cat and run under cover. But then day later find one of those birds up against fence in corner still alive but it was either frightened or been attacked and would barely move. It was too scared and wild for me to try to provoke it to move on. Forgot about it but it was gone next day. But did see feathers on ground. More likely the Tonkinese had a go at it at some stage before going into retirement mode this winter.
Bush Turkey? FFS, where you located? Must be out of suburbs for such a bird.
Not sure I ever seen one.
They have started a war with someone in my household.
Tennis balls are coming their way if seen.
Somebodies clothes got plopped on so all bets are off.... ha ha
If you have mulch you have Brush Turkeys in Qld
I'm not a Queenslander. The Tonkinese is though ha ha.
Our Siamese was a Qlder too
So assume like the Tonkinese here, he not really a fan when it gets below 17.
Have I seen a picture of your Siamese cat before?

If had that cat with ears like that, he would have to be called Gilly.
Like the grey type colour around middle of face.

What an absolute cutie
They can have really long noses and massive ears he was very well proportioned ,probably why he was a show cat
Damn, this parrot loves to hear music.
Amazing how the sense of sound is like an a whole other level for birds.

Gold Coast. Very common around here but haven’t had one in the backyard before. About as big as a large rooster. They can be a pest in nesting season if they take a liking to your yard because they dig up your plants to make a very large ground nest, kind of like a lyrebird does. If it sticks around too long we will have to get a wildlife person to remove it and take it back to its habitat, a few blocks away. This one is a female luckily; the males are the nest builders and have longish wattles, like regular turkeys do.

We don’t have mulch. I think it’s just lost.
Wow. Never seen one of those in person.
As a kid, came home from primary school to find a wild goat on our property trying to fight with our goats. Do not know where it come from. Somewhere up in hills but your story reminds me of that. That would freak me out seeing that as it either going to attack some pet of yours or pet attack it and possibly get hurt or infected.

There are dogs in neighbouring houses so I’m slightly worried as they are not very good fliers, big and clumsy. They’re not aggressive though.

We had a blue point siamese cat as a family cat years ago. Beautiful looking cat, very vocal. Looked a bit like this one.
