I have a mourning dove nesting on my balcony for the third time this season and the amount of joy it has brought me is immeasurable. It’s fucked up so many people are deprived of this experience
there’s a family of black redstarts nesting in the courtyard every year. they’re incredibly loud. i think the male (maybe?) is expending like a bodyweight’s worth of energy every day to scream/sing.
one of them managed to intimidate my cat once. cat just scurried away.
i mean, it’s a 5cm tall bird and it can produce enough volume to echo around a multi-story courtyard. it’s fucking impressive. football fans only wish they had lungs like this.
Might be an American saying. “Seems like tits on a door/tits on a doorknob” is a way of saying something or someone is sitting around being completely useless.
Imagine how much wildlife and birds and other shit you get outside your window on the left compared to that desolate ecological wasteland on the right

I have a tit nest directly above my front door right now, I have to be careful not to close the door too hard when entering/exiting.
I feed crows at work and observe falcons out the window at home (though they are quite far away).

Well, it’s been proven, that birds can enjoy singing. So if it’s outside mating season and it’s not a warning call, it might just be doing it for fun.
oh no, i think it’s mating season and he’s trying to defend his territory or draw our attention to him so we dont look for the nest. or something.
Very brave of him. I would definitely feel intimidated and/or distracted enough not to try munching on the nest or it’s contents.

Tits on a door.
This one goes over my head. Not in the “it’s hanging above the door” kind of way but in a “I genuinely don’t understand the joke” kind of way.

i dislike being woken up 10 minutes before dawn, can we compromise with the birds
