One exception... I have a few roosters nearby that I could do without, but in the big scheme that's okay, they're just expressing their happiness for a new day 🌞

the rooster Sir Walter would be absolutely bellowing to the point people on a conference call could hear him - I'd run outside screaming STFU WALTER but he never paid me any attention, kept right on hollering when he was running

Summertime.

Chicago.

Years and years ago.

When the 4 am bars closed, one was greeted with their song.

And the birds, one by one, greeting the day; I sit with my coffee, listening to their cheerful song. I need their optimism to help me through these dark days trump and his republican allies have plunged us in.

of why humans love birdsong .
Birdsong signifies safety.

When the birds grow silent , a predator is near .
