That would make me jump out of my skin. :eek: Mind you, I'd be even more alarmed if they started rattling the windows at night, like in Marnie. ;)
 
My chickens have me well trained, when I go into the kitchen one hops onto the window sill and taps - like a fool I usually chuck something nice out for them!!
 
Many years ago I was doing my horse in the dark, and had a feeling of being watched. I was getting more and more nervous but could not see anything. I was glad to get finished, and as I was walking away, which was difficult as I just wanted to run, I saw an owl sitting top of a tall pole looking at me. I did feel rather foolish.
 
Ours will come and tap at the kitchen french windows - but only at me! The know my OH will chase them off the patio and I will find a crust of bread for them - when it comes to food suprisingly clever!
 
Mine bat the cat flap, it's so annoying that I usually feed them.

They will also make a beeline for the house if a door is left open, I came home once to find chicken landmines all over downstairs and a broken crystal decanter that they'd eaten :eek:
 
My lot (horses) follow me round like Weeping Angels whilst I poo-pick every afternoon! Every time I turn to look they have crept a little closer and are standing motionless with their ears and eyes on me :rolleyes:
 
This is my new cockerel Digger, he had to stay the night in my bathroom as i dont drive and didnt want to take him to the new shed in the pitch black (id already walked three miles with him tucked under my arm!!). In this pic he was just mooching round and decided that the spare cupboard was his :rolleyes:

Thankfully he didnt wake the household up by crowing! rofl
 
My bantams will come inside if the back door is open and will peck on the patio doors to tell me they want feeding. One of my chaps would fly in through the patio doors and land on my shoulder like a parrot if I was sat working at my desk. OH once tried to chase one of girls out of the kitchen but it ran the wrong way, flew up the stairs and into a bedroom and then launched itself out of the window............it also left a few landmines en-route. Not amused.
 
I have a small flock of 7, did have 8 but one turned out to be a cockeral.
Highly entertaining, will come to call and love to get in the house, my 2 yr old grandson also loves them, if he goes missing we just look to see where the hens are, caught him the other day climbing through the field fence, because the hens were going in the field.
Very nearly the perfect pet
