TRYING TO VIDEO MISHKA

I TRIED FOR 5 HOURS YESTERDAY on and off continuously.

I lay on the couch, I sat on a chair, I lay on the floor,
I stood by the cage, I hid behind a window, I hid behind a counter, I even lay under her cage
I sat on the kitchen floor hiding away

I did video her on My space, from a distance, on my laptop.
Only problem the picture follows after she has spoken.

I TRIED FOR 6 HOURS TODAY

No luck at all. I honestly don't know what more to try.

BUT I will not give up ever.

It took me 17 years to find Sean and Steven's half brother.
I have only been trying to video Mishka for 2 years and 8 months

I guess she's really camera shy! You might try every single day for awhile...maybe she'll just get used to it, and finally ignore it.

I agree with Sharon, Mishka will come round when the camera becomes more familiar.

I doubt that Mishka is camera shy She is so observant.
She notices anything that has been moved.
The camera is on the wall unit permanently.
She even notices when the little red light goes on

try leaving the camera out on a tripod or something... so she gets used to it...

Mishka's always had a camera nearby, on standby, I think she just dislikes it. Perhaps she was a model in another life LoL


Mishka loves my laptop, when I try video her on MySpace of Facebook.
She sits on her playpen, watching herself on the screen and chats away.
Only problem, video and speech don't fit in together, shows her moving then a few seconds later the talking. As well the picture is not too clear.
Will record one during the week and upload it.
Tried on MySpace today, kept refusing to accept the recording, saying error.
