197 - SUNRISE SHENANIGANS

**All nature sounds, no narration. ASMR - Perfect Cat TV! A beautiful variety of birds and a host of silly squirrels feast on sunflower seeds and peanuts.

The videos in this playlist are from our suburban backyard cameras. They reveal the beautiful birds, rabbits, bees, squirrels, butterflies and other animals attracted to our bird feeders and bird baths. We are animal lovers, and the calming nature of these happy animal videos bring us immense joy and peace with each viewing. Our two cats, Oliver, a Flame Point Siamese, and Ezra, a "Wild Forest Cat" (no, really, he was found as a kitten in a litter of feral cats in the forest and the vet "thinks" he might be partially Maine Coon)... anyway, lol - they LOVE watching their "Stories" daily! All of the wild animals in the yard are their friends! Oliver and Ezra sit on their little ottomans in the window and whether it's day or night, they typically have a friend out there in nature to see!

!!!We got a 3rd cat since I wrote the above description... Maccabee! He is our precious Blue Point Siamese and he is WILD and a sweetheart! Watch the Short I released on May 28, 2025 to see the cutie pie in action!!!
