Tira Versus the Bird

Every morning Tira runs outside to look at and listen to all the birds. Two mornings ago she was so infatuated with the birds chirping she sat under a tree for maybe 30-45 minutes. When she came in Min-Ah screamed and called me. Tira had been pooped on by the birds as she sat under the tree looking for birds. I thought this was really ironic and funny but promptly gave her a quick bath. I doubt Tira cared about the mess on her back...

Tira's New Trick

Yesterday Tira showed off a new trick she learned. While looking for birds in a hedge, she figured out that if she stood on her back two leg with her front legs on the bush, leaned backwards, and lunged forward onto the bush (like a bear trying to knock someone out of a tree) she could force any birds hiding inside to fly out. She did this a few times and made quite a few birds leave, almost catching one. Not sure how she figured this out but she's proving to be a smart little hunter.
