Birds In Words

The songs of birds can be heard send a message without a word. Skeptics say they're just sound others find them quite profound. A peaceful call to nature's mind from winged friends of every kind. Listen with the ears of your heart - "Kok...Kok...Kok..." Ravens passing by... "Twe-u...Twe-u...Twe-u..." Robins about to fly... Earbirding language from mnemonic sounds - "Squeer...Squeer..." poke the Woodpecker way... "Kyew...Kyew...Kyew..." what the Osprey say... Hope for the rise of the Phoenix - "Kee-yer...Kee-yer..." the Hawk meets his match... "Pippit...Pippit...Pippit..." from the lively Nuthatch... Circumambulating birds circle in ancient ritual - "Tu-whit...Tu-whoo..." the Owl will do... "Cau...Cau...Cau..." Crows insist to you... Your song may be a trilling coo - "Chirry...Chirry...Chirry..." sings the Mourning Dove... "Chiddik...Chiddik...Chiddik..." Sparrows sigh above... There is a call for your new beginning - "Wee-zee...Wee-zee...Wee-zee..." a Warbler whirs... "Toot-sweet...Toot-sweet..." the Bobwhite stirs... Look for Lark, Loon, Grackle 'n Gull listen to Quail then Oriole. Cries, begs, rasp and wheeze songs 'n sounds that seem to please. Bird words of the inner mind meanings within hard to find.

Thank you Darlene for your kind visit and thoughtful ornithological commentary. Thanks for your remarks. Bird sounds do have meaning. Birds are under attack worldwide their numbers are on the decline.
