He's Still Dead: The Movie

Peanut attacks the bread
Here's a little movie of Peanut eating bread. To be honest, he isn't eating the bread so much as tearing it into crumbs, looking for tasty seeds. One of the things I miss most about Peanut is having him eat my food.

Click to watch Peanut Eats Bread, The Movie (October 10, 2005).

Nothing fancy on the audio. We had the TV on, and there was a very noisy blue jay outside; but the happy little squeaks are all Peanut.

Please note that I'm still trying to sort out this movie-making thing. If anyone knows the ideal settings to "share" clips on the web using iMovie, please let me know. I deliberately made this clip at a nice quality: 17 seconds, just over 2 MB. Too big for web sharing? But he's so cute! And he's in my food! I couldn't help myself.

Bug tried to eat Peanut eating bread. And then, she bit me because I obviously didn't recognize the need to fly away. After she flew away without me, she attempted to get into her feeder from the outside (can't be done). Maybe the Peanut movie made her hungry. Since the break-into-the-feeder attempt failed, she used the door and is eating now. All in the time it took me to type that. Well, that's the reaction at our end. Very cute. Watched it several times, will watch it again.

Actually, the sound track freaked Bruce out. He hadn't realized I'd published a little movie, and figured Peanut had come back as a menacing little zombie when he heard all that happy squeaking. Oops.
