ONE TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR TRUCKING ACCIDENT VICTIMS. CALL ME MIKE MORRIS 855 MIKE
WINS. MEET OUR INSTA FOR FRIEND
ALEXANDER. HE’S A SILVER FOX AT
AGE 12. HE FOUND HIS FOREVER
FAMILY AT AN ADOPTION EVENT AT
THE DETROIT ZOO, AND HE’S A REAL
RENAISSANCE MAN. ALEXANDER
DOESN’T MIND DRESSING UP, BUT
HE’S ALSO A FAN OF NEW NEW SICK.
I KNOW HE LOVES NIBBLING
HOUSEPLANTS, ALWAYS KEEPING COZY
. YOU CAN FOLLOW THIS GREEN EYED
HUNK TRYING TO INSTAGRAM AT
ALEXANDER THE CAT 12. OKAY I
GOTTA SAY IT. ALEXANDER IS GREAT
. GET IT? YEAH AND SHE’LL BE
BACK FOR THE MIDNIGHT SHOW. TIP
YOUR WAIT, STAFF. TRY THE VEAL,
PURE MICHIGAN. PROBABLY MAKE YOU
THINK OF OUR BEAUTIFUL BEACHES
ARE STUNNING SUNSETS. BUT
THERE’S SOMETHING ELSE THAT SETS
US APART AND YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE
EVEN NOTICED. COLORFUL BIRDS
LIVE IN MICHIGAN. YOU KNOW, WE
TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED. BUT WHEN
ONE WOMAN MOVED HERE FROM
GERMANY, SHE WAS SO IMPRESSED.
SHE STARTED TO TAKE PICTURES AND
ENDED UP CAPTURING THE
PERSONALITIES. OF HER BACKYARD
VISITORS. I THINK MICHIGANDERS
ARE VERY NATURE CONNECTED, AND
THEY LOVE WHAT THEY HAVE HERE.
IN THIS STATE. LISA’S BACKYARD
IS A WILDLIFE PARADISE LIKE A
SPA RETREAT WITH BUFFETS AND A
FOUNTAIN BATH. BUT THERE’S NOT
MUCH PRIVACY FOR THE CREATURES
WHO COME BY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THE AMENITIES EVERY LUXURY
OFFERING. THERE’S LIKELY TO BE A
CAMERA SET UP TO CAPTURE THEIR
EVERYDAY LIVES. IT’S VERY
METICULOUSLY PLANNED TO BECAUSE.
HAVE, UM, SQUIRRELS ON MY
FEEDERS. I HAVE MEASURED OUT THE
EXACT DISTANCE FROM HOUSE OR
BUSHES OR VEGETATION THAT THEY
CANNOT JUMP FROM IN ORDER TO GET
TO THE FEEDER, SO EVERYTHING IS
KIND OF LIKE WHERE IT NEEDS TO
BE STARTED WITH. STILL CAMERAS
THEN EXPANDED TO VIDEO. TWO
PHOTOS ARE NICE, BUT WHEN YOU
SEE BEHAVIOR IN MOTION, IT GIVES
YOU A DIFFERENT SIDE INTO WHAT
IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. CAMERAS
INSIDE THE AVIAN WORLD AROUND US
LIKE WHO PREFERS? WHAT FOOD
PAIRING UP AND WHO’S THROWING
DOWN WHICH BIRDS ARE PASSING
THROUGH ON THEIR SEMI ANNUAL
MIGRATION, AND WHO’S HERE TO
STAY? EACH HAS ITS OWN CHARM,
WHICH COMES ACROSS AND LISA’S
PHOTOS LIKE MOURNING DOVES,
ALWAYS HUNGRY AND READY TO WORK
THEIR ANGLES. INTERESTING FOR ME
BECAUSE THEY TAKE TAKE VERY GOOD
PICTURES LIKE SOMETIMES I SAY
THAT MORNING DOVES GO TO POSING
SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY’RE JUST LIKE
ARE SMART AND GREAT MIMICS. THEY
OFTEN SOUND THE ALARM IF A HAWK
IS NEARBY, IMITATING THE HAWKS
CALL, THEY LOOK ALL ALIKE. BUT
THEY ARE NOT. EACH INDIVIDUAL
HAS DIFFERENT FACE MARKINGS THEY
ACTUALLY RECOGNIZE AND IDENTIFY
EACH OTHER FIGHT. THEIR FACE
MARKS OUR STATE BIRD ROBIN
PREFERS FEEDING ON THE GROUND. I
LIKE HOW THEY WALK ACROSS THE
BACKYARD, THE LAWN LIKE A
PATROLLING TEACHER AND RECESS. I
LOVE HOW THEY FEED THEIR BABIES
. THEY ARE PART OF WHY I DON’T
LIKE TO USE CHEMICALS OR
PESTICIDES IN MY BACKYARD
BECAUSE I KNOW THEY’RE CRAWLING
ALL OVER THE PLACE EATING THE
INSECTS. ROBBINS LOVED TO TAKE
BATHS AS YOU STARLING SO MUCH
THAT LISA ONCE PUT UP A SIGN,
HOPING IT WOULD HELP WITH CROWD
CONTROL AT THE POOL.
UNFORTUNATELY STARLINGS CAN’T
READ AND THEY DON’T THINK MUCH
OF RULES ANYWAY. CARDINALS ARE
ON THE SHOW I SIDE INTEND TO
APPEAR WHEN THERE’S NOT MUCH
OTHER TRAFFIC. A GOOD TIME TO
SEE THEM IS USUALLY EARLY IN THE
MORNING OR LATE IN THE EVENING
THERE LIKE THE FIRST AND THE
LAST ONES TO COME. THAT’S LIKE
CARDINAL. OUR IS THE FIRST AND
THE LAST HOUR OF DAYLIGHT.
THAT’S WHEN THEY FEED. COMMON
BRACKETS ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITE
BIRDS BECAUSE THEY’RE JUST SO
EXPRESSIVE AND THEY ARE VERY
PHOTOGENIC, TOO. THEY CAN BE
GOOFY, MAJESTIC, GORGEOUS, BUT
ALSO LOOK HILARIOUS WHEN THEY
MOLD ESPECIALLY I’VE HEARD FROM
MANY PEOPLE, THEY SAY THEY FOUND
A NEW LOVE FOR GRECO’S BECAUSE
OF MY PHOTOS, SO THAT MAKES ME A
LITTLE PROUD BLUEBIRDS OR LEASES
FAVORITE. IN FACT, YOUR WEBSITE
NAME DRAWS ELIZA ROUGH
TRANSLATION FOR BLUEBIRD IN
GERMAN. SHE BUILT A CUSTOM NEST
BOX FOR HER RESIDENT COUPLE, AND
THEY USED IT TO RAISE 14 BABIES
THIS SEASON ALONE. WE ARE NOW IN
YEAR SEVEN OF CONTINUOUS
BLUEBIRD NESTING. THEY HAVE
RAISED A LOT OF BABIES HERE,
WHICH MAKES ME INSANELY PROUD
THAT IT WORKED OUT SO FAR,
BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I’M
POPULATING THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH
BLUEBIRDS. BECAUSE WHO WHO
DOESN’T NEED MORE BLUEBIRDS,
RIGHT? THE CAMERAS CATCH OTHER
CRITTERS, OCCASIONALLY. FROGS
FOXES, RACCOON AND A SKUNK
SHARING A MIDNIGHT SNAG AN OWL
FRESHENING UP AT NIGHT AND ONCE
A TOTALLY RANDOM PIG, THEY END
UP WITH UP TO 25,000 PHOTOS PER
CAMERA IN THE EVENING. I GO
THROUGH ALL OF THEM AND FIGURE
OUT WHICH TWO OF THREE I WANT TO
KEEP. SO THAT’S A LOT OF TIME
INVESTED INTO THE PHOTO
SELECTION. AND SOME DAYS. I
DON’T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING. I HAVE
50,000 PHOTOS AND I DON’T FIND
ANYTHING THAT IS INTERESTING OR
ATTRACTIVE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS.
SHE POSTS GET A LOT OF ATTENTION
ON HER OWN WEBSITE, SOCIAL MEDIA
AND EVEN IN PRINT. I LIKE BIRDS
BECAUSE THEY’RE ENTERTAINING. IT
NEVER GETS BORING, AND THEY JUST
MAKE ME HAPPY. IT MAKES ME HAPPY
TO SEE THEM. SOMETIMES I JUST
LIKE IF I HAVE A BAD DAY OR
SOMETHING, I JUST LOOK OUTSIDE
AND THEN I SEE A GOOFY BLUEBIRD
BABY OR A BLUE JAY YELLING AND
I’M JUST SAYING, RELAXING A
EASIEST, MY MIND. LISA’S WORK
HAS BEEN FEATURED ON POPULAR
SITES FROM BORED PANDA TO THE
DODO. BETTE MIDLER HAS EVEN USED
HER PHOTOS AS HER PROFILE
PICTURES. TALK ABOUT BRAGGING
RIGHTS RIGHT THERE. WE HAVE A
LINK TO WHERE YOU CAN FIND OST
DRAW CELL ON THE ALL FOR PETS
PAGE CLICKONDETROIT’S DOT COM
SPEAKING OF GOING VIRAL ANIMAL
VIDEOS ARE ARGUABLY THE MOST
POPULAR ON THE INTERWEBS. SO WE
SEARCHED THE WORLD WIDE WEB. FOR
THE MOST VIEWED BEST LOVED VIRAL
VIDEOS. YOU’VE PROBABLY SEEN
THESE BEFORE, AND WELL, THAT’S
KIND OF THE POINT. WHO NEEDS THE
METAVERSE? WHEN THE INTERNET WE
HAVE NOW IS ALREADY THE CUTEST
PLACE. REMEMBER CLARK, THE
TALKING DOG BACON THAT’S LIKE
MAPLE MAPLE FLAVOR KIND. YEAH
YEAH, SO, YEAH, I TOOK THAT OUT.
AND I THOUGHT, I KNOW WHO WOULD
LIKE THAT. ME SO I ATE IT. THE
ULTIMATE DOG TEASE. VIDEO HAS
206 MILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE.
MISHKA THE HUSKY ALSO HAD
SOMETHING TO SAY. I LOVE YOU
GOOD GIRL. 111 MILLION PEOPLE
HAVE WATCHED HER PROFESS HER
LOVE AND CHECK OUT THIS QUIET
CONVERSATION BETWEEN CATS.
THE CATTY CHATTER WENT ON FOR A
WHILE AND RACKED UP NEARLY 97
MILLION VIEWS. SO FAR, REMEMBER
THIS PRE MASON ON ZOOM? CAN YOU
HEAR ME? JUDGE I CAN HEAR YOU. I
THINK IT’S A FILTER. THE
UNCONVENTIONAL COURT HEARING,
GRABBED 10 MILLIONS OF VIEWS AND
INTRODUCED IN THE UNLIKELY
PHRASE INTO EVIDENCE HERE. LIVE
NOT THAT I’M NOT A CAT SNOWBALL
. THE SULFUR CRESTED COCKATOOS
GONE VIRAL MANY TIMES. IN FACT,
SCIENTISTS DISCOVERED HE HAS 14
DISTINCTIVE DANCE MOVES TO HELP
KEEP THE BEAT. AND SPEAKING OF
MESMERIZING MOVES, WORK, WORK,
WORK, WORK WORK WORK. ON THE
INTERNET EXISTS FOR THIS
TWERKING MICRO PIG WHO’S
HYPNOTIC HIPS PUT IT IN THE
PREEMINENT PANTHEON, OF COURSE,
SIGNED POPULARITY JEANS WHO
RATES THIS STUFF, SO OUR DOGS OR
CATS MORE LIKELY TO GO VIRAL,
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THAT’S BEEN
RESEARCH DONE ON THAT. OH, I
BELIEVE IT. THE GENERAL
CONSENSUS, OF COURSE. CATS MORE
PRONE TO INTERNET FAME, YOU
KNOW, THINK GRUMPY CAT AND LIL
BUB REMEMBER HIM RIGHT? EVERYONE
DOES BECAUSE DOGS INTERACT WITH
CAMERAS MORE WHILE CATS COULD
NOT CARE LESS HARD TO GET AND
WELL, I GUESS IT WORKS. HEY,
WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK. COMING UP A
RESCUE IN ST CLAIR COUNTY THAT
TAKES IN MINIATURE HORSES AND
HELPS THEM FIND FOREVER HOMES.
