- Hello there.... Nice looking newsgroup....
-
- Some few weeks ago I saw an amusing film on the tube that showed the antics
- of some British guy and his Tits. He constructed various devices to
- dispense peanuts to the birds when they solved some sort of puzzle. The
- puzzles got more elaborate and difficult. I found it both interesting and
- worth a good hearty laugh. The birds were Great and Blue Tits I believe
- they said. I don't remember what network I saw this on, but I do remember
- that the film was produced by Oxford Scientific Films.
-
- I made a very bad attempt at constructing one of these puzzles to the great
- bewilderment and amusement of my parents over the weekend. I would like to
- see about getting a copy of this film or other such material both to prove
- my sanity to them and so as to possibly make a *working* feeder puzzle. I
- would greatly appreciate any information about this film or any other such
- work. E-mail or post as appropriate. I will summarize any useful
- information that isn't posted or other results of my searching.
-
- I don't suppose there is an FAQ for this newsgroup...? ;-)
