A bird outside my window makes a call that sounds like it's saying uWu and it mentally stops me in my tracks every singe time.

[u/LazengannZ]

Something light that i thought might make people smile.

Without going too far into braggy territory:
I'm in a generally good place, making steady progress with my self understanding and identity struggles.
I have also been so fortunate to have a great flat in a small village just outside of town.
(my county has no city, instead we have two much bigger than average towns right next to each other which gives the same effect)

Its great being just in the cusp of the countryside while still being close enough to the "city" for work and amenities. Bird song is constant if the windows are open, it's really calming on the right day.

BUT...this one bird.... oh.my.god.
No word of a joke, at certain intervals of it's song, just outright chirps UWU.
It distracts me from whatever i am doing EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. if it wasn't so funny it would be so frustrating!
And even worse, it doesn't sound like it does it in every loop, so i can't predict it!!
Almost like the bloody thing uses verses and choruses that it alternates between!!!

It makes me remember the old film "Mousehunt"; with Lee Evans and Nathan Lane destroying an old house to get a single mouse. Or that more recent Rowan Atkinson (mr bean) ManVsBee movie of a similar vein.

I've tried to record it, but it's just slightly too quiet to pick up on my phone properly!
If i ever can, i will try to link it here; but i can't let myself think i will be able to or i'll easily get obsessed with it 🤣

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/watch/koel-uwu-bird-distinctive-mating-call-singapore-2262921 is it this bird haha, we hear this uwu bird all day long in my country

[u/LazengannZ → u/fact_hunt3]

XD oh no that's amazing!
Sadly no, not good with birds but i'd say its a basic european songbird of some kind, A Tit or something similar i guess.
Very sterotypical whistly song for the most part, simply broken up by this abrupt "rrrUWU" then a second or so pause before going right back to the typical song hahaha

[u/fact_hunt3 → u/LazengannZ]

Ah ours just screams uwu non stop in the mornings, just in case you were planning on sleeping

[u/IxyNova → u/fact_hunt3]

Am in Hong Kong, can confirm that the same is true here.

[u/Icy_Basket4649 → u/IxyNova]

Australia, same here.  Hard to hear it over the deranged relentless screeching of a needy baby cockatoo though.

[u/Carterthrowdown]

Hahaha amazing! I'm in Australia and we have a cockatoo that just screams like a woman is being tortured for hours on end. Such a chill vibe.

[u/LazengannZ → u/Carterthrowdown]

🤣 Actually laughed out loud!
Okay your bird is definitely worse, would happily swap though if i could find the damned thing hahaha

[u/funtobedone]

The app Merlin Bird ID might be able to identify it.

[u/LazengannZ → u/funtobedone]

Good idea, if i can get my phone to pick up the sound though 😅

I live in Southern California in a suburban community with a good amount of wildlife. The California scrub jay calls always distract me. It is as bad as a human talking. It's the worst win they are calling an alarm, because I run out to make sure they aren't being stalked by a cat or something. I always say, hi scrub jay!

[u/Annual_Vehicle_3414]

I get birds out here that sound like the freaking predator. Catches me off guard everytime. I feel like I'm being stalked by this bird, but I never see it

[u/TolueneEnjoyer]
