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.
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.
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.
