Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for February 15, 2020

Breakfast?

To answer the question most of the birds that sing at 5:30 AM are male and basically their singing translates as “This is my territory, you other dudes want it ya gotta deal with me” or “Hey there all you chicks I here come and get me”. Of course I’m from New Jersey and that’s how most young hetro males sound like.

Getting worms.

There is a 5:30 am?

Sergioandrade is correct. Birds are declaring and reclaiming their territory. I love to listen to the early morning calls from the bird kingdom. And here on the east coast of South Africa the sun rises at about 5 AM so the birds start much earlier than that. And if one is awake as the first day birds are chirping sometimes one can hear the last calls from the night birds as they sign-off for the night. A beautiful symphony from the avian kingdom :)

They didn’t get eaten.

3:30 in the spring and summer. Robins and cardinals start first.

Time change in another month and it’ll still be dark down here at 8:00 a.m.

Hey, they don’t wake up next to you, Aunty!

Join them for a worm fest, Aunty.

I live in a 55+ community and the birds aren’t allowed to chirp before 8.

I’ll trade you the birds for my neighbor’s car! Figures the guy with the loudest car has to go to work the earliest. Blah. At least I enjoy listening to the birds!

Birds chirping at 5:30 a.m. don’t bother me. The neighbor’s yappy dog waking me up does.

Just be glad you don’t live on a chicken farm!

No roosters!

My cat, Bengali, must be on the hunt again.

They got woken up by all those noisy damned Worms coming home from a night of Drinking and the Birds are complaining about the racket the drunk Worms are making.
