They don't tend to like flying but if you scare them they can go a fair height and distance

The Dawn Chorus is one thing but for about six weeks there's been this really loud bird that's taken to sitting on the phone line outside my bedroom window going 'WEEPAH! WEEPAH! WEEPAH! WEEPAH!.........' from about 5am. I hate it. I want to kill it. I want the cats to kill it. I want the hand of God to reach down and slap the noisy little fucker off the wire

I can't kill it can I?

Beware...they're organising into gangs...

Some bastard bird that roosts in the tree outside has very accurately mimicked my alarm clock

 

[quimcunx]

Just thinking about this thread. Bloody weepah bird been going for the last hour.

Weepah I could cope with better, the alarm-clock-bird is causing me psychological trauma every time it goes off - which is about once every 2 minutes, a far shorter period of quiet than if I had hit the snooze button I admire its mimicry the first time it does it, after that it's like a slow method of torture...

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Most likely a Starling...

We hardly get any starlings around here, and haven't seen any for years (although there used to be flocks of them and you could mark the seasons by the comings and goings, seeing flocks arrive and leave) - we do get quite a lot of blackbirds though and they (along with other thrushes) can be quite good mimicks for tunes and noises and the like when they put their mind to it - as I see blackbirds more regularly and in greater number, I imagine it's a blackbird. Not seen any starlings round here in ages which is a shame, I like starlings.

 

[Ms T]

No starlings round here either. I can't remember the last time I saw one.

 

[quimcunx]

I saw one the other day. just one like.

 

[Badgers]

Blue Tit

 

[gentlegreen]

I'll have to add nesting boxes to my garden plans.

 

[geminisnake]

Do it soon so they get a chance to be weathered over the summer/winter. Birds don't like new things ime.

Weepah Weepah!!

Here today!

It’s a fucking wood pigeon that’s currently doing my head in every morning. Makes me want to buy an air rifle and make some pigeon pie

 

[Saul Goodman]

I woke to the sound of a cuckoo today. Such a lovey sound from such a cunt of a bird.

Once when I was working briefly in the minor injuries unit in A&E I looked after a chap who tried to lop a wood pigeons nest, because it's call was driving mad...somehow he managed to lop his thumb off...

Crikey! I quite enjoy some birdsong but there’s something about that pigeon’s rhythm that really grates. Though I just listened to a birdsong video on YouTube and it could also be a female chaffinch, a jackdaw or a pied lapwing.
There’s a lovely song I hear in the evening and at night that my phone app seems uncertain as it keeps suggesting different birds each time I record it. Greenfinch, nightingale, pigeon or house sparrow. If I pay too much attention I may get obsessed with this.
the most annoying call i know is the Great Tit - sounds like an old-fashioned rusty bicycle pump

Have you checked the song thrush’s or robin’s song?

 

[seeformiles]

My MIL hates the sound of wood pigeons so I quite like them. Can’t say that I feel any negativity towards the songs of our avian chums. I find them all rather soothing.

 

[Orang Utan]

Aye, neither of those

 

[danski]

Aye, neither of those

Can you post up your recording so we can have a try?!

Cuckoos are really common here and seem to go all night during the summer months but I don't mind it myself. It's a subspecies but pretty similar to UK version I believe: Cuculus canorus bakeri (Common Cuckoo (Baker's)) - Avibase The colloquial name sounds like boo-goo bird.
