Parrot Confused by Laser Pointer

YouTube user simplydreaming had some fun with his mom's parrot, Kiwi. I wonder if there is any human equivalent to what animals experience when they encounter a laser pointer's red dot. -via Urlesque

"I wonder if there is any human equivalent to what animals experience when they encounter a laser pointer’s red dot." It makes me think of all those movies where something horrible but mysterious is happening on the horizon, and everyone is just standing around and staring with "what the f..." expressions on their faces.

I use the pointer on my cats, but I feel they make most dogs too crazy. I think dogs need the satisfaction of catching something. The dogs that I have witnessed chasing a laser became frantic, over excited, and borderline violent. It did not even seem like they were having fun.

Really... they're like the Twitter users of the animal world aren't they? Wanting to share their own stuff with complete strangers and trying to extend their friendship network as much as possible - even at the cost of relationships that they already have.

I don't know why that seems crazy to us. It's exactly how many businesses treat their customers, particularly subscription businesses like magazines, internet, cable TV or cell phones. New customers get great deals, come-one, special perks while existing, loyal customers get increased fees, lowered services and crappy service.
