JackieMaya Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 The other night after I got home from work, I was sitting outside with Jackie and Maya. I couldn't believe what I saw: Jackie snatched a flying bird out of the air! The bird was coming in for a landing (probably was aiming for the evergreen tree by Jackie), and Jackie jumped up a little bit and grabbed the bird right out of the air. There were three chirps, and then the bird was dead. Then Jackie gave the dead bird to Maya and let her play with it. Neither of them ate it, they just played with it. I don't think they knew what to do with it. There was no growling or anything over the bird either. Jackie really is an amazing hunter! I certainly hope nobody's pet rabbit or cat come into my yard! Jackie leaves the cats alone at the barn, but if one ran into her yard, I think she would go after it. yummy! Quote
behle Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 I'll bet you didn't know you had a bird dog, did you? :wink: Was she proud of herself? Poor little birdie..... Quote
Malamum Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 :o :o Wow, what a catch... she must be very quick. At the moment I am trying to teach Indy to catch a ball and half the time it just hits him in the head :-? Quote
Angelboddy Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Wow, that must have been an amazing catch. :o Way to go JACKIE.....The flying bird dog. :wink: But I must say.......Sad for the little birdy. :( There will probally never be any birds in your yard anymore. :wink: Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Rowie once caught either a really sick or really stupid pigeon! :roll: Wow! Straight from the air, way to go! :wink: I agree with Angel, no more birdies in your yard! :lol: Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 naughty Jackey poor little bird Quote
slim86 Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Wow, that's crazy. I wish my dog would at least chase them. He just watches them steal his food out of his food bowl. Slim Quote
courtnek Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Freebee stalks and points at the birds, but would rather chase, corner andcatch squirrels. You cant really take the hunting instinct out of them. Anything that runs, (or flies in this case) is fair game... just hope the birds stay away... Quote
Daisysmom Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Oh gosh! Poor bird. ...but what a hunter :lol: Chelsea chases anything that comes into the yard too! Yesterday at the dog park, she was swimming in circles trying to catch the ducks in the lake. They would swim out and she would get tired and turn around, and then they would turn around, and she would notice them and turn back around..... tjhat went on until she was completely out of breath!!

Aroura Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Oh what a catch!!! I bet she was proud, my dogs are all jealous, want to know how she did it!!! Actually Tessa caught a rabbit once, she was pretty proud of herself, even happier when I let her eat it!!! Oh, by the way, it was a wild rabbit! :wink: Quote
