Usually this time of year birds wake me up. Hasn't happened yet.
Sort of an eerie lack of bird noise in the morning and I don't know if I'm imagining things.
I've been hearing them around 4am the last few mornings at both home and my bf's place.
Hrmm.. I must be going deaf then :(
butters probably scared them off.
Butters has an interesting relationship with birds.
He knows he's supposed to do something, but he's not sure what that is.
They must be all outside my window then... Been woken up by stupid early rising birds almost every morning all winter.
way fewer birds on my balcony this year. I think there are two reasons. One, the local currawongs have eaten all the sparrows, two, I stopped putting out food because my neighbour hand built outdoor furniture for his balcony and it would be a shame if birds messed them up.
You can have the wattle birds that go off like alarm clocks where I live. I still associate them with the lockdowns.
I feel like I'm not hearing the range of birds that I used to. Just wattlebirds, magpies and Ravens. And in the afternoon some lorikeets.
