Think of this as all-day, free TV for your cats

Been seeing commercials for this lately. I kinda want it. The entertainment value for your cat(s) would be through the roof.

What is it? A bird house with no back wall? arcane1 Feb 2014 #1

yeah, it supposedly has a one-way mirror on the back so you can put it on your window. charlie and algernon Feb 2014 #2

The back wall is a 2 way mirror that the birds can't see through of. Xyzse Feb 2014 #3

It seems like it would scare the heck out of the birds, but the kitties would love it.

But that wouldn't work, as was pointed out on another site. If the light is inside the house, the birds would see YOU and you wouldn't be able to see the birds. So you have to take away the one-way mirror in order for you (and the cats) to see the birds, but of course the birds would still see you and so wouldn't actually nest there.
