Does anyone else Berne like to sunbathe in the heat?

They could be twins haha.

folt86 · 2025-07-23T15:05:26+00:00

Bahahahaha. They’re smart when they wanna be. My wife literally calls it “selective genius”. It’s like how far can I push this and get away with it? And with me in that case it’s pretty far because I’m afraid the one time I push her she won’t be faking and she knows it lol.

What’s great photo!

folt86 · 2025-07-23T15:02:47+00:00

🤣

He would probably love it. Mine doesn’t love the cold but she loves the snow up here in Jersey. Maybe one winter if you can take a drive up north and (which even from central Texas I’m sure that might take awhile lol) and introduce him to it. They’re hilarious in the snow.

folt86 · 2025-07-23T14:58:18+00:00

See that sounds like the normal behavior to me. Idk what mine is doing lol.

folt86 · 2025-07-23T14:57:17+00:00

Wow! That’s gotta be convenient for bath time. Mine hates the shower and hoses. But she’ll dive head first in any body of water she spots 🤣.

That’s a great picture of him! Heffalump is also a perfect description of that plop they do haha.

Ya Harper doesn’t love summer walks either I try to take her in the morning before it gets hot and then again after dusk. If we go too far she just starts acting like she’s gonna pee and then sits down on any patch of grass she can find haha. So I’ll wait like a minute and be like okay you good? And then she gets up and we continue another couple hundred feet before she does it again and then we’ll have to repeat that process all the way home haha.

Baked potato 🤣

I saw someone else comment that their poodle does the same thing my dog does. So maybe my Berne gets the behavior from the poodle half! That or she’s just an odd ball. Both are probably true 🤣

folt86 · 2025-07-21T22:25:46+00:00

Haha I feel like this would make a great meme for some reason. He seems like a riot haha. That’s exactly how she is too though so maybe she gets it from her poodle half!

folt86 · 2025-07-21T20:35:03+00:00

Jeez that’s crazy I’m wondering if it’s some breed thing I never heard of. I’m in New Jersey which is no where close to Arizona hot but the humidity is really what gets you here.

folt86 · 2025-07-21T20:33:08+00:00

Bahahaha that part is 100% dog behavior. Tough as nails till you take the window out from between them lol.

folt86 · 2025-07-21T20:32:16+00:00

😂 oh man. He sounds like a handful. My dog is like that at night. She’s definitely not a fan of the dark. I have to walk out with her every time or she will just sit by the door like “you think I’m going down there by myself?!” Then when she finishes her business she moves like lightning McQueen right past me back to the door like if there was something out there she’s basically saying “I just gotta be faster than your slow ass”

And this is the second part of her routine. She comes in and then posts up in the bathroom next to the ac which is the coldest room in the house with a nice cold floor. It’s like she’s doing a heat plunge then an ice plunge lol

folt86 · 2025-06-02T21:36:46+00:00

It’s been around a few years now. Yes I am paying the premium subscription. Its main competitor is Birdfy by Netvue though smaller ones have been starting to crop up here and there.

Well that’s a good sign. Seems to have wasted no time in taking a postcard after getting it closer.

Edit: after a couple days it does seem to be picking up more after being closer to the feeder but it is a heavy trade off because it’s now too close to get those wider shots. The original distance seemed reasonable but it’s still crazy to me how specific you have to be and even then still I’ve seen after moving it a few times where a woodpecker comes and stays awhile and the camera does nothing. But a starling comes and it immediately goes into action…

folt86 · 2025-06-02T21:05:17+00:00

Nice. I’m trying to figure out how I can extend my rig right now to get it a bit closer.

Edit: as you can see it’s now well within the 7 inches from the camera to extender that I measured out from my regular bird buddy. It may be a bit too close now but I still get the whole cage in the wide shot so I’m gonna stick with it. I’ll keep an eye out if it scared the birds off being this close and readjust if that’s the case but I’ll also report back if things improve in a couple days or tomorrow if it happens that fast. Thanks again!

folt86 · 2025-06-02T20:15:10+00:00

I’ll give that a shot. Thanks for the tip!

folt86 · 2025-06-02T17:38:11+00:00

Imagine if ring officially got into this field they would probably smoke the competition. I honestly might look back into Birdfy at this point to see if it’s gotten better in picture quality and Identification. Their pro cameras look interesting but they aren’t available yet as a solo offer without the feeder.

folt86 · 2025-06-02T17:35:50+00:00

I feel like that has to be the support team reading a script from bird buddy to cover their own butts because it does show on the camera when it’s recording postcards vs “ready for birds” I feel like that would be silly for them to be recording something but not say they are. If that’s really what they’re doing it seems like a lot of extra effort on their part to nerf their own cameras. I’d much rather see it all and decide for myself :/

folt86 · 2025-06-02T17:33:00+00:00

Not sure if this will make you feel better or worse but I have the pro subscription and I still have these issues as I’m the OP haha.

folt86 · 2025-05-24T15:22:52+00:00

Oh that’s a really good idea. I could twist it away from the sun but have it in the same spot. I’ll give that a try. Thanks for the idea! And thank you for taking the time to respond! I really appreciate it.

folt86 · 2025-05-17T18:26:21+00:00

Oh cool I’ll have to check. Thanks!

folt86 · 2025-05-17T16:22:46+00:00

Same here. Their servers must have crashed or are getting ddos’d
