Title: Birds!
Post by: candyterrius on July 10, 2012, 07:49:25 pm
Do you often hear birds singing and chirping near your home? I can hear them in the morning around 8 am and during sunset after 7 pm.  :)

Yeah I hear them in the morning. It's nice to wake up to. But I usually wake up to the duck in my room quacking or the cockatoo across the street squawking. Once in a while I even wake up to dinosaurs. I live across the street from a park called Dinosaur Park. They have like real life statues of dinosaurs with information about them and they have speakers with dinosaur and jungle noises throughout the park.

We have an acre in the country with a bird feeder. We have cardinals, blue jays, mocking birds, sparrows, woodpeckers, doves, hawks and others.

One morning I was outside feeding my cat before daylight and it sounded like every bird in the neighbor hood was in the magnolia tree. I wished I would have got my video recorder because I don't think I ever heard that many at one time.

Although at times it might seem annoying, to me, it's one of the best sounds to hear! It's mother nature talking to us! Take time to just listen!!!

Morning and evening are when we hear the birds the most.

I like to "call" back to the cardinals.  Sometimes they return my call!  :)

Down here in Florida, I hear them in June in the middle of the night [3 am].
This summer, it may be too hot for them to tweet.
I find it disturbs my sleep, so it's fine if they aren't here.
I see crows during the day and other white bird species once in awhile.
The white bird species ( anginha (sp?), pelican, etc. look for the man made lakes.
There is a pool out in our courtyard.
They won't come near there.

Yes I love to listen to them chirp! They chirp anytime of the day or night. I was standing outside late last night and heard a bird. The bird was so loud cause of the time of night. Very pleasant!  :)

We love hearing them, too.  During the night, the Killdeer seem to love "whining" all night, while flying back and forth and around our property.  It makes us wonder when they sleep!  :)

Anytime I go outside I can hear birds making noises from the niight birds like the owls and nightingales to the doves in the morning and evening with their coos and goos.  The sparrows pick up our miday show with an occasional visit by the cardinal, blue jays, hawks, crackles, egrets.

Yes, I actually have a nest of four babies right near my window. Today was the first time I've seen them hopping around outside the nest so I was super excited. I've been waiting to see the little fluffballs that have been waking me up at 5am every day. They are pretty loud :P

We have robins, doves, blue jays and wood peckers who feed in our front yard. We also had a dove nest with 2 babies in a lilac tree outside our bedroom window this spring.

We have a birdhouse on top of a pole on our back patio.  There is a family there and we watch the parents fly in and out to feed their babies.  We can hear them chirping, especially when the parents come with food in their beak.  Very fascinating to watch.  I hope I can see when the babies get to try out their wings.

 :D I usually hear wrens in the morning, and it always amazes me how such a small bird can make so much noise. We also have a lot of Mockingbirds so sometimes it's hard to tell what kind of bird I'm really hearing. I also heard an owl the other night. It was in the woods right behind the house. I love living in the country, you just never hear sounds like that in town.

I not only hear them, but have been watching from my kitchen window while the parents are feeding their young in the nest, and it is so interesting!  Both the male and female take turns bringing food to their family.  I took pictures when the babies would have their beaks open wide waiting for food!!
