The Birds

みなさんアルフレッド・ヒッチコックの鳥という映画は知ってますか？

Have you ever heard a movie called The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock？


鳥（’63） - goo 映画

小学生か中学生の時にロードショーの番組でテレビで見たのですが、とても衝撃的だった

のを覚えています。

I was in a middle school and watched it on TV. I remember it was shocking.

これ以降鳥の足がなぜか気持ち悪く感じるんですよね

Since then, I feel sich if I see a bird's feet.

実はなぜこの話になったかと言うと、今朝鳥の鳴き声で目覚めたんですけど

The reason why I brought up this topic was that I woke up with hearing birds.

何か数羽レベルじゃない泣き声なんで窓から外を覗いてみたんです。

I felt there were more than a few birds, so I looked at outside from the window.



木にたくさんとまってるのね（葉に見えるのが鳥）なんてのんびり見ていた時ふと地面に目をやると

I saw many birds on the trees. Then I looked at the ground.





思わずうわっと地味に1人で驚いてしまいました

I was too schocked to scream, so instead I just said WOW....

庭に餌など撒いてるわけでもなくなぜこんなに群れが来たのかはなぞ

I didn't put anything on the back yard, so I have no idea why there were tons of birds.

雨が降り始めるとどこかに飛んでいきましたが

They left as soon as rain started.

一羽ずつ見るとお腹がオレンジでとっても可愛いのですが、

If you look at a sing bird, it has an orange colored belly and looks cute,

さすがにこんなにいるとちょっと恐怖に変わります

but if there are too many like this, it's horrifying.

この光景を見て鳥という映画を思い出したんですよね～。

Anyway, this view reminded of the movie.

さて家のPhoebeは基本お外でおトイレをさせています。

By the way, I make Phoebe potty outside.

トイレシートでもできるのですが臭うし毎回片付けるのも面倒なのでお留守番の時にしか使いません。

She does her business on a potty sheet, but it stinks and have to clean.

So I only make her use the sheet when I leave her alone in a house.

アメリカではトイレシートは子犬用か老犬で外にいけない時に使うよう

Also in the states, it seems like only puppeis and old dogs that can't walk use the sheets.

需要が少ないせいかシートも結構高かったりするんですよね～。

Probably there are not many people buy potty sheets, and that's why sheets are expensive.

１００枚で＄３，４０とかもっとする時もあるし

It usually costs $30-40 for 100 sheets.

なのでPhoebeは基本雨の日も合羽を着ておトイレに行きます

Therefore, I take Phoebe potty outside even though it's raining.

こんな感じで。Like this.


後姿。Fron back.


着させている飼い主が言うのも酷いかと思うのですが、結構おまぬけに見えます

It sounds a bit mean since I am the one making her wear a rain coat,

but she looks goofy with it lol

歩く時も後ろ足を広げながら歩くので後ろから見ると面白いです

Also when she walks, she splits her back legs. It looks even more funny.
