    Meanwhile -

    I’ve heard that the birds don’t sing songs to us but rather either tempt mates for reproduction or warn other same-sex birds to come too close or else!

      That fact that anyone would even think that they’re singing “for us” is disturbing. It’s so deeply stupid.

      With the exception of mockingbirds. Who do it to be jackasses.

      I had one in my yard that copied the sound of a tool once, I walked away and then heard it going and of course I’m thinking “how the hell did that turn on?”. Of course I go to check and it’s off and was just a mocking bird. It then proceded to make that noise for the rest of the day.
