Thanks John from each hill and valley. And likely if there are no trees they’ll find a rooftop like the birds. Great comment!

We had the same play on long time in the dark - yours is better, teenagers versus mere gossips. Thanks for the applause and comment

If only we could understand what they’re singing about. As I understand it, it’s the males that make most of the noise. Thanks for the applause
