Help! We are under attack by massed barnacle geese!

I discovered something that is *not* a good cat toy.

I got a set of CDs of British Birdsong, given away as freebies with
a newspaper, produced by the Royal Society for the Protection of
Birds. Put CD 1 on the stereo to see what the furries thought of it.

They went berserk. Chloe just stood up on an armchair like a meerkat
with her eyes nearly popping out of her head. Marblecake and Courtney
dashed round the house frantically looking for where the birds were
hiding.

I think the CD got as far as track 3 (of 50) before I took it off.
The tracks were ordered alphabetically - avocets, barnacle geese and
bee-eaters all got the same reaction.

I sometimes log onto a bird-identification website (Cornell I think) and
the cats FREAK out. Running around, pawing at the speakers....lol.
