You call that a song?

Woke early this morning to a strong smell of skunk and birds screeching like crazy. On the other hand, it was nice and cool.

Bird song has never seemed especially lovely to me.  I don't seem to have whatever the necessary gift is for appreciating it. Always sounds to me, as others have pointed out, like what it is - an animal screaming COME HERE AND MATE WITH ME. NOW.

Except when it means I'M GOING TO PECK YOUR EYES OUT IF YOU ENTER MY TERRITORY.

The only time I ever really liked bird sounds was when we lived in rural New Jersey and had an owl living outside our bedroom window. The nocturnal hooing was rather nice.

I do like birds - they look great. But apparently I've never heard this bird "song" that other people like so much.
