Why is the government so interested in this cat?

The pawlitician's in cat government want him out

Cats been up to no good, the owners won’t let gov emissaries near to intimidate the feline so they had to send agent feathers.

Feathers. Agent, Feathers. 007 with a license to sill.

Cat needs a restraining order; this should be on r/legalcatadvice.

😂😂😂😂😂

Nah corvids are the real ones

Cats aren’t real

(Creed voice) You're not real man!

Lol I love that reference

The bird is only doing it for internet fame. One day, his "prank" may go too far.

Never thought I'd witness a bird playing with fire. 🫠

"Its just a prank Bro"

r/imthemaincharacter

“It’s just a prank, bro!”

Dooo doo doo, what a lovely meadow!

😂😂 that bird was like, La Di Da.. Just walking here.. Not following you at all!

Real big brother, little brother energy

If Mr Bean was a bird! 🤣

He virtually was in The Lion King

The video is basically Zazu with Simba.

Lion King at home

Not just a bird… One of the most intelligent creatures on the planet. I love corvids.

damn I didn’t know that, apparently they can be as smart as a 7yo human

Having been a 7yo human myself once, I am not impressed.

Uh bro… Second graders start to learn to add and subtract by regrouping numbers. They will move up to 2-digit addition and subtraction. They'll also practice skip counting, as a precursor to multiplication. They'll also explore basic fractions, units of measure, basic money and how a thermometer works.

And much like this bird, kids will also actively try to get themselves killed doing dumb stuff.

Roflmao!!! Fact!

Well that isn't really age restricted behavior.

No but it is a heavily skewed distribution. Like I remember being 7 or so and breaking out of my dad’s grip to run out into the street in front of an oncoming truck because my impulse control couldn’t handle walking past a used lottery ticket on the ground without picking it up. Kids are stupid it’s just how it is.

7 yo also find a way to die every 10 minutes

Theres still some smart ones out there

you’re not impressed that a bird the size of your fist was as smart as you as a kid? yeah maybe in your case it wouldn’t be that impressive indeed

Magpies are incredibly clever, watch some YouTube videos if you want to learn just how smart some can be.

In some places, they can be as smart as a 24 year old man (but not because the birds are smarter in that area)

So many confidently incorrect replies to this comment haha.

Welcome to Reddit 😂

So…a clever bird

 Clever girl…

Corvidae is crows, ravens, rooks,  magpies,  jackdaws,  jays,  treepies, choughs, and nutcrackers

Yes. And that’s a magpie. Are you confused?

Fucking love this response.

Encouraging rudeness is just a goblin cheering a bully. stfu

Bully 🤣 Gen z by any chance??

For sure, confused with pronouns and has gender issues.

Where the is the bullying tho

I've never heard of a Covid! I thought maybe a crow because it's obviously smart, but the white on the wing has me thinking it's probably not a crow.. Lol! Edit: Corvid>covid

Corvid are a family of birds. Crows and magpies included

What other well-known corvid are there? Are ravens corvid?

Yes. Jackdaws too. [Corvidae - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvidae)

>I've never heard of a Covid! Where have you been the last few years?

😂😂I didn't even notice that and still had to read my own comment twice!!

Here’s the thing…..

Looks like the amount of people who still remember the legend of Unidan is dwindling.

Crows and magpies both belong to the family of birds called corvids. All extremely smart birds.

A crow is a corvid. This bird is a magpie, which is also a corvid. Colloquially the corvidae family is known as the crow family so you weren't totally wrong.

Thank you. 🙂

I think crows are also in the corvid family.

It's a magpie. *Corvid is the family of birds that includes crows, magpies, ravens, etc.

Lol that's a magpie...not a corvid.

Corvidae (corvid) is a cosmopolitan family of oscine passerine birds that contains the crows, ravens, rooks, magpies, jackdaws, jays, treepies, choughs, and nutcrackers. Magpies.

TIL

Magpies are corvids…… you’re on the internet you can search for yourself. That’s not an Australian magpie by the way..

You’re right, that’s a European magpie. I learned some years ago that the Australian ones are quite different but similar in other ways, quite interesting parallel evolution of two different birds.

Yeah I’ve been very interested in these birds for a while. Watched a documentary years ago and have been fascinated ever since :)

Australia magpies are bloody smart. But our [Pied Currawongs](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2Fb4%2Fc1%2F03%2Fb4c103edafefcee4ba2de5bcfc4b4b47.jpg&tbnid=yB7UPQpULYU68M&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2Fraven--57209857747341947%2F&docid=VEdwYrATK0--eM&w=640&h=640&hl=en-au&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F3&kgs=d41311d09a39a4e2&shem=trie) are even bolder. [Beautiful calls as well](https://youtu.be/3JxnPA6VmsI?si=AzhBJEb2eCpTDVpV).

My cat hates Magpies, he's got a very specific cry when Magpies come into the garden and if they're around when he's outside he'll skulk back in.

Lol! Yeah, my cat was the same, intimidated!

Lots of cats learn quite quickly that you don't mess with the magpies, cos they've probably got loads of friends nearby (with sharp, sharp beaks).

Is the bird whistling when the cat turns around 😂

Keep your friends close, your enemies closer.

That’s very much what’s going on here. I’m quite sure that magpie has a nest nearby and while the female is maybe laying on the eggs, the male is taking care of threats.

It would be swooping and attacking if it was actually trying to fend off the cat. This one is actually trying to sneak up behind the cat and pull its tail, just for the fun of it. There are tons of videos of crows and ravens doing this as well.

I swear to god I saw a raven do this to an eagle. I thought at the time it was to make the eagle drop its prey, but maybe it was just to have fun and be a dick? The eagle just turned its head once and the raven fucked right off.

They often do it to annoy a predator enough to make it leave its food behind so they can have it, so that was probably what happened when you were watching. But plenty of other times people have seen them doing it when there’s no clear benefit, so as far as we can tell it’s also just fun for them

Could it be thinking the cat's going to find food and maybe it might siphon?

Keep your friends close and your enemies toaster.

That bird is younger me following my older brother

I have a magpie family living close. Last year they had a young one that was very curious about my cat. Came to really see and chat with my cat. They really were many times chatting between them, since the magpie made magpie noises (sorry not native english no idea what magpies do in english lol) and my cat answered. Luckily my cat was more scared than anything of it and just did birdchatting and maybe mawing, but didn't try to catch it.

look up in YouTube corvids manipulating cats into fighting eachother. they are cheeky bastards 😂

 Basically the same

90s MTV was different

Holy shit you just unlocked a memory I had completely lost lolll I can hear the music now

The next day, cat toys got robbed

Only the shiny ones

‘I tawt I taw a puddy tat!’ - Tweety Bird

I love how the bird turns around each time the cat does - like nothing to see here cat

Magpie playing chicken

that’s one fearless bird

I love how the bird acts all innocent when the cat turns around- "what?? Nothing to see here- move along!" 😁

Magpies are amazing survivors. I saw some in Abisko National Park, Sweden in the middle of winter. Not everybird flies south

No more respect 🤣🤣

r/praisethecameraman

Me in The Isle as a Pteranadon chilling with a random Stegosaurus

Someone please do a voice over

Sherlock Gnomes explained that the flowers suggests its spring and the magpie is trying to steal some cat hair for a nest. Only kidding Watson, that magpie was a male , I seen its cock.

It's like a ghost from Super Mario who gets shy when you look at them.

Boy wanna communicate with his crush

Correction: bird torments cat. There used to be blue jays that would dive bomb my grandmother’s cats the rare times they went outside. Birds love being dicks to cats.

Shrek and Donkey 🥹

Bloody magpies;)

That's so cute, the way the bird looks somewhere else when the cat turns and looks.

Shrek and Donkey energy

Love how the bird stops and turns around 😂

shrek and donkey ahh interaction

I love how the bird looks away when the cat turns around. “Do de do de do, don’t mind me, nothing to see here, move along…”

That kitty wanted to give the bird some skibbidypaps

This is amazing!

Funny little Magpie.

Kitty needs to dial 911 !!! Such stalkers must be stopped

Hi I'm calling about your car's extended warranty

But the cameraman failed to follow em both

So this is the bird version of internet trolling?

Cats are so much fun to worry

Prey becomes the Predator Predator becomes the Prey

Cheeky magpie

This would be awesome with an "Aussieman" voice over.

That's me with feral dogs except the following part.

cat nose bird brain!

It’s a gang initiation.

Brilliant, I wonder why the magpie was following the cat? 🤔

Who wore it better?

I always feel like some birdie’s watching meeee

That is a corvid. You don't mess with corvids. Generations later, they will still be seeking revenge. I think that cat's card has been marked.

Human follows bird following cat

There is a YouTube channel, Country life blog. It has an either European crow or something similar on it. It messes with the cats constantly. It's an asshole lol.

It's like they're playing that game, red light green light! And I love how similar their coloring is.

Magpie playing a very dangerous game.

Defending a nearby nest.

This needs a whistling sound every time the cat turns

GOVERNMENT SURVELLIANCE

Magpie

I think the bird is wondering where the cat got their tuxedo.

How the tables have turned.

I can't wait for spring. That seems like such a peaceful spot.

I love how the bird not only stops but accentuates its movements “looking around elsewhere” like in the movies when people get caught staring or following someone.

Nice

Don't mind me, I'm just bumping the upvotes from 332 to 333, because triple three is great

Nice car love it upvote me need the karma yalllll

Do the catwalk.

Tuxedo bird follows Tuxedo cat.

I guess the bird thinks the cat might lead him to food.

Awesome

Cat is clearly GenX

It's OK, that's just Zazu.

Green light.... Red light!

Lifelong friends after that

What next? Dogs sleeping with cats? Monkeys wearing pajamas?

“Fugg-off, burd!!”

I wish OP would have followed this pair before they disappeared from sight

He’s the scout. Birds know a predator when they see one.

This is a maybe, maybe, maybe

Italiano mafioso bird harassing / bullying the kitty. Hey kitty wha I can do with as’ like yours, I’ll grab by ears so you can’t get away….

If was a bird I'd befriend a golden retriever. Sit on its head.

Straight out of Looney Tunes.

Whisper of the Heart Energy tbh

This is how an extrovert becomes friends with an introvert.

Hahaha.. real footage of me following my bro as kids

"stop following me" "im not" "i said stop" "im not"

Where we goin?

Hey Jim let me go wit you!

Look up ravens and wolves

Nice cat

Cat wants a quiet walk not an annoying bird.

so brave brother

I've seen a magpie do this before. All the while, making that "Chakachakachaka" warning sound that magpies do. Or this could be the true story that The Gruffalo was based on.

Kingsman "Hello Prey"

That bird is a magpie. They’re horrible creatures. On the dairy, whenever a calf died, the first thing that would happen is a magpie would swoop down and eat out the calf’s eyeballs.

Corvids are such little rascals. I watch a webcam from a Romanian bear sanctuary and the ravens are constantly messing with the bears. Just the other week I watched one peck at the paw of a resting bear until the bear got up and walked away. I swear I could hear the bear cussing under its breath.

Suicide by cat.

she needs the fur for the nest

🤣🤣

My father told me young crows do that with wolves - walk behind them and try to catch them by the tail to learn their reaction times.

Or men follows women

Bird must have her nest close, she is distraction tactics.

And so begins our tour of the backyard sidewalks in Surrey. Some think the Romans built ithe original path so owners have not been allowed to widen it as an alley for autos. Petitions for and against an alley date back to the 17th century. Alfred Hitchcock grew up on this section of the path and developed a fascination of Corvids that stuck with him. One person named his cat Corvid, it didn't end well.

He knows the cat isn't aggressive likely, and teases it. I play exactly like this with my dogs.

I get some inigo Montoya vibes

Ag.Pigeon spying on it's fur-midable enemy.

Moises Shemaria Capuano| a esta persecución se le puede llamar acoso?? jajaja

What does it want???? Seriously does anybody know the reason for this?😂

As any rancher will tell you, those birds will peck out the eyes of cows for food. I’ve seen them take down a squirrel. Cat is right to be wary.

The cat must have killed a member of the bird family

That's a mischievous magpie mugging off that moggy.

This is awesome … right on time.

Everything I know about magpies I learned from one Bluey episode, and this checks out.

1, 2, 3... REDLIGHT!

Corvids can be quite vicious. Apparently, 19 of them caused a national lockdown in 2020

That’s not a bird that’s a magpie. The cat’s lucky it’s still got its eyes.

I love summer days where you hear all the birds and noises in the background
