Pretty sure bird meetings start a little bit before 5am.

Right outside my bedroom window.

[-] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 4 months ago

Can confirm, they must have a satellite office outside my bedroom too

Owl be there!

Always great when a woodpecker starts drumming the Morse code for "I'm horny" on your window at 5am.

Can confirm

Image description: A screenshot from a birdpi, a device that identifies birds by their song, and catalogues their activity vs the time of day. The image shows a small amount of activity from a Barn Owl at 10pm and 1am. It also shows a very large volume of activity at 7am from crows, and other Australian birds

does BirdPi work with babies?

Mom asked me today; "what kind of bird's babies make a loud screeching sound? Like really loud. Like we could hear them from [500 yards away]'s yard."

"... all of them?"

[-] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago

I assume so! If a bird expert can identify the bird from a given call, chances are, so can the bird pi (though not quite as accurately)

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

I really like this. I'm not sure if this is the first I actually got to see how BirdPi maps the data, but that looks very easy to read.

Was going to complain about a noticeable lack of kookaburra, but then I noticed something called a "noisy miner."

I love that yellow at the eye. It gives it such an intense look along with that very pointed face. Made me think of the classic dramatic prairie dog.

For what it's worth, I've got a second birdpi set up at my partners house, and there are kookaburras there! And lots of noisy miners too! Those birds really live up to their name, they are really noisy!

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

As long as someone is watching out for the kookaburras!

The miners sound like very loud Guinea pigs.

[-] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago

But they move in larger packs, and are more aggressive. No cat is safe from a flock of miners screeching at them!

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I did watch another news-type segment where they put up a Bluetooth speaker in a tree and played another bird song and it almost immediately got attached by miners. They said they really stress out a lot of other wildlife.

There was a second part I wasn't closely listening to as I was walking somewhere while listening, but something about them eating some sweet protective coating off a certain tree so now the bugs are able to damage the trees.

At first I thought they sounded kinda cute, but then as I saw the group sizes, I saw how it would quickly get old, especially if they drive off other animals.

(crow is saying yes but still showing up late)

This is me on the West Coast as all of the East Coast fucks set meeting times.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

"Excuse me. I'm not awake at that hour. If you wish me to be mentally present and engaged.... this could be an email."

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

In my particular case, I also have Indian time zones they're trying to accommodate.

Software is basically hell now.

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 5 points 4 months ago

as a midwesterner you both annoy me. Why are east coast people early risers and west coasters late shifters. It just exacerbates the time difference. So many east coast people seemed to work more like 8-4 where 7:30am their time seems reasonable to them but 4:30pm is way late and then the west coasters don't want to start until like 10am their time but see 7pm as fine. And oh boy if you have to have them both in a meeting then the only time that works is my prefered lunch time. shakes fist at clouds furriously!!!

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

A lot of the West Coasters in my company start at like 7am. Including me. Against my will.

We don't need this much overlapping time or meetings.

Let me sleep till fucking 8am for a change.

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 3 points 4 months ago

The east coast should just start start at 9am, make the overlap less severe. Seeing people start at 6am ET kills me, lol.

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 4 months ago

this is what cracks me up. if east coast would do 10 and west coast 8 then everyone would be pretty close together.

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 4 points 4 months ago

I get clients that respond at 3:30am here. They start work at 6am eastern >_>

[-] faizalr@kbin.run 3 points 4 months ago

I'll try my best.
