I want to kill the Weepah Weepah bird

[Badgers]

Shhhhh

 

[kittyP]

Shhhhh

Weepah weepah

 

[madzone]

I haven't heard it for a couple of weeks

 

[Badgers]

Killed it?

 

[Yelkcub]

I haven't heard it for a couple of weeks

He must be on his holidays with mine. About two weeks since last heard here too!

I think he's had a shag and fucked off.

Men eh?!

 

[geminisnake]

Well it would have been his mating song you were hearing and now he's too busy feeding the missus and chicks to sing

Someone in my neighbourhood has a duck. Every morning it's a distant 'quackquackquack' and on and on. I kind of like it the weepah weepah bird is another matter entirely

I've got ducks, turkeys and chickens but they don't start making a noise until they're let out. The fucking weepah bird has no such decorum

Are you saying the Weepah has pumped amd dumped you Madz?

 

[GoneCoastal]

I have a family of blue tits in one of my nesting boxes..... at least I think it's a family - there's a lot of sort of cheeping noises and adult birds flying to & fro all the time ... 'tis nice

Men eh?!

How do you know it's male?

 

[madzone]

How do you know it's male?

Because of its ploooooomage.

And because Sheddy said so

And because women just don't behave like that

 

[DaRealSpoon]

And because Sheddy said so

That really is no 'guarantee'

 

[madzone]

That really is no 'guarantee'

I'm going to tell him you said that

 

[DaRealSpoon]

I'm going to tell him you said that

Shhhhh, he'll be back soon... te he he hee

 

[madzone]

Actually, having checked a bird site it seems it could have been either male or female. Maggot has highlighted that my misandry extends to wildlife

 

[two sheds]

That really is no 'guarantee'

Yes, the phrase 'clutching at straws' came to mind when i read that You'd have been much more convincing if you'd said 'because gemini said so'

It is usually the male that sings though, isn't it, apart from robins. And i did just read where it's linked to testosterone levels.

I didn't realise with great tits but 'The sexes can be told apart by the width of the black stripe down the breast - the males have a broader stripe than the females.' I'd noticed some had broader stripe but I'd thought it was an age thing.

 

[Yelkcub]

You jixed me Madz! He's back this morning!

 

[madzone]

Sorry

 

[Yelkcub]

Sorry

No worries. I like the Weepah bird. I was already in the shower when I heard him this morning

 

[madzone]

I like the Weepah bird.

Weirdo

 

[madzone]

It seems the Weepah Weepah bird has been replaced by the Woobee-weepweep bird

 

[madzone]

Turns out the Woobee-weepweep bird is a turkey chick.

Little fucker

 

[Upchuck]

You can get your revenge at Christmas

 

[Greebo]

Now you've solved that mystery, can you identify the "key key key" bird that seems to be vocal here most of the day between may and autumn?

 

[madzone]

Buzzard?

 

[Greebo]

There seems to be more than one (and possbly juveniles) - the estate has quite a few trees, bushes and high roofs, so I suppose it could be a bird of prey (enough pigeons etc for them). It's not a sharp cry, it's more of a high pitched croaky squawk (definitely not a crow, rook, or magpie).

 

[geminisnake]

Jackdaw??
I woulda said buzzard too from the key noise description. You need better descriptions mate

 

[tim]

It is illegal to deliberately hurt wild birds

Really?
