There's hundreds of species of birds in my area - dozens on my property alone, maybe over a hundred. One of my favs is the Black-capped Chickadee which has this cool little descending two-note song (known as "fee bee") but always sounds to me like the beginning of the Twisted Nerve theme (whistled in Kill Bill by Daryl Hannah). So I'm often doing chores around the farm and we're (me + birbs) all whistling that spooky-ass melody. Just to fuck with Bigfoot in case he's nearby.

I really thought this was going to end with you telling us about how you scored 4 touchdowns in one game.

Birds in the US used to be numerous in their diversity, so much so the Boyscouts bird watching badge required you to find and identify like 25 different species in your hometown. Where I live I'm lucky enough to see 5 different species of birds. I just see the same 4 types. Pigeons, crows, finches, and the occasional hawk.

We've lost 30 percent of bird population since 1970.

I grew up in Minnesota and as an adult I moved to California and the one thing I miss the most is birdsong. It’s nice having a shit-ton of Great Horned Owls here, but they’re only vocal at night. I’d choke a toddler to hear some real red winged blackbirds.

when I was a kid I remembered seeing mockingbirds, woodpeckers and other species.

They probably are in the northern parts but the cats have eaten everything around LA

Meanwhile I've got some asshole bird who learned to mimic the tone of someone using the keypad lock on our front door.

Wait... WHAT? Storytime? (Please)
eadanke
There's not much of a story. We have a keypad to unlock the door and it makes a tone when you push the buttons. Some bird that's awake at sunrise sits in a bush by our door singing a song that sounds like someone put in the code.
FuManLu
And it works?
eadanke
Oh, no, it just makes me think someone is coming in the door while everyone who knows the code is already inside and it makes me nervous. If it worked I'd get a new lock, that would be terrible.
