You’ll have to get them their own TV and Barcalounger
Comment on "bird watching" goes both ways
abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 3 days agoIt has been nice weather this weekend. I learned that my chickens will just come walking into the livingroom if I leave the door open. Very cute, but they shit everywhere.

Hmm.. my chickens are very spoiled but they aren’t “have their own tv” spoiled… yet…
Im not sure how much good a tv does with birds though, they see at over 120hz, to our 60hz so most of what we see as motion on tv they see as a series of still images

To be fair, movies are 24fps!
So movies might be too low framerate for a chicken, but 60+ fps game footage’d probably be alright.

Ima have to try and see how they react.
But chickens process 120-200 fps so I don’t that’d do the job to show them motion.
I may have been mistaken about what hz refers to..? Not sure. Don’t… think so..?

My mom had a rooster that hated me. He wasn’t super aggressive but would attack after warning me if I didn’t leave quick enough.
I solved the problem by repeating “I’m going to pick you up” while chasing him down and catching him. I’d wrap him up in a towel, take him inside, and we’d watch “How it’s Made” while I pet and talked to him. He hated it.
After a few days of that he mostly left me alone. If he started puffing up I’d just tell him “I’m going to pick you up”: he’d instantly deflate and run away making unhappy noises.

Nice! You’re like the Cesar Milan of poultry. The “cock whisperer”.
