Little bird make big noise |
Chirping is much worse than singing. Typically, I'm hearing one or more birds making the same exact sound repeatedly. It seems like some of them have no plans to stop. They're usually pretty loud too. I suspect that these are juvenile birds who are saying, "feed me," and it's clear that their hunger never dies. Unfortunately, birds don't seem to sleep very much. At a certain time of night, they finally quiet down. However, they've woken me up around 5:00 a.m. several times.
I believe that people have committed suicide because birds have driven them to do it. Many, many people have committed suicide for many different reasons. Every 17 minutes of every hour of every day, someone commits suicide in the United States. I suppose I should get out more and go to places where there are less birds, or the birds are quieter.
We humans believe that this is our world, and everyone else is a squirrel trying to get a nut. I'm not so sure. Ever imagine how many sparrows are currently living in this world, let alone the total amount of birds? They can fly, and we can't. They are thriving. They are driving me insane. They're not letting me forget about them. They're reminding me that they're there nearly every one of my waking moments.
I'm not going to hurt any birds. Sometimes I can hear a bird chirping on my bedroom windowsill. I usually march right over there and say, "chirp! chirp! naughty birdie!" The sparrow looks at me, jumps off the windowsill, and usually flutters down to the ground. Sometimes she has nest-building materials in her beak. This is preferable, because she isn't as loud when she's got stuff in her beak.
I love all animals. I just love the quiet ones more.
Maybe they’re all saying “Stay! Stay! Stay!”
