Meet Bunty 🥰💗
Bunty is a baby sparrow found and bought into us a couple of weeks ago from the RSPCA.
Our vet, Charlotte, has taken care of him and we have fed him up with the hope of eventually releasing him into the wild when he is big enough.
We love all animals here, big to small, furry to feathered, flying to slithering; they are all welcome 💗

Cat chattering or chirping is a normal and often quite funny behaviour of cats that isn’t entirely understood. It happens when cats spot a potential prey like a bird, a squirrel or even a fly. They become completely focused, crouching slightly so they’re ready to pounce at any minute, and they start voicing odd stuttering low sounds while their jaw frantically vibrates.
Some believe the chattering is a deeply-rooted instinct reflex motion that anticipates the cat’s fatal bite, in which the cat also uses this type of jaw motion. Others have suggested the chattering is a demonstration of excitement.
Another explanation proposes the chirping is really a display of frustration as many cats will do this while staring at birds outside the window, where they really can’t reach them. It has also been suggested that this is perhaps an attempt to imitate the bird and lure it closer, as a similar attempt has been observed in at least one type of large, wild cat (the Margay).
Does your cat chatter? Which one of these theories seems more plausible to you?
