	Birds.com: Teaching Pet Birds to Talk - - Birds Blog
		Birds which are capable of mimicking human speech not only provide hours of entertainment, but make for an interesting conversation piece and some hilarious moments with family and friends.
		When teaching your pet bird make sure that all other noises and distractions are minimized as much as possible – so switch off the TV and close the doors leading to the room for some peace and quiet.
		Birds tend to find it easier to mimic a child’s or woman’s voice than they do a man´s so if you are struggling to get the bird to understand, try raising your pitch but not your volume.

	Flocking birds cause havoc in the air
		Bird strikes are more likely to occur in the earlier months of the year and spikes in incidents are usually in line with bird migration and feeding patterns.
		Airlines are required by legislation to report a bird strike within 72 hours of the event, but even the sight of bloodied feathers or a squashed carcass on the side of a runway is reported to the bureau.
		Bird strike is viewed so seriously by the aviation industry that each species of bird is given a hazard rating worked out by how many incidents involved one type of bird combined with the damage it causes to aircraft.

		When the bird finally came in for the night, at about 16:00 hours, it was fazed, confused, and perturbed by the cleanliness around it and took about 20 minutes just sitting and turning around repeatedly, before finally settling to roost for the night.
		The bird in box 2 is still sitting quietly on the unhatched eggs (well, they were unhatched on the 12th and all present and correct).
		It was suggested by email, that the reason there were so few birds in June and the first part of July is that the newly hatched young were being attended to in the wild by their parents and siblings, and there was in June a plentiful supply of natural food.

		Pick up all injured birds from the back of the bird, as it is easier to control their wings and feet, and there is less change of causing further damage and stress to the bird.
		Birds definitely feel pain and fear, but do not show it, as in the wild, any bird or animal which shows it has been injured quickly becomes a target for other birds and animals, and is killed.
		Birds not infrequently fly into windows, confused by the reflections of the sky (or trees), or (when defending territory), flying aggressively towrds the bird they see in the window (their own reflection).

	The Sound of one Wing Flapping
		To introduce a bird visually without an attack is to tease the audience with a red herring, and so Hitchcock cannot manipulate the visuals as freely for suspense as he does the soundtrack.
		Although we see birds during the titles (the titles, as abstracted as the soundtrack, are presented as fragments that converge and then disintegrate), we do not see a truck till their close, when a van roars by shortly after a trolley car, on a busy San Francisco street where Melanie is walking.
		A close-up of the love birds swaying on their perches as she rounds the corners too fast is accompanied by the sound of screeching tires and shifting gears.

	Free as a bird - National - www.smh.com.au
		The birds' manure is removed every three days by a conveyor belt and 50 cubic metres of nutrient-rich waste is offloaded weekly onto the trucks of local farmers for use as fertiliser.
		The birds will stay in the shed until they are 72 weeks old at which time their productivity begins to fall and there is a rise in age-related disease which causes a natural increase in flock mortality (such as the development of prolapse uterus condition, egg peritonitis).
		From the outside the noise is a loud rumble of clucking but as soon as the door into the shed is opened, a floor full of chooks changes to a high pitch call and the birds immediately begin running towards the entrance to investigate.

	EcoBirds Song
		Bird song is one of the wonders of the natural world.
		For birds, singing is a means of communicating with the world, and mostly this means 'other birds'.

	Tell Birds to Go Away In Their Own Language!
		Bird droppings can be damaging to a number of surfaces, and have the potential to carry and spread a number of infectious diseases to humans.
		The Programmable Bird Repeller uses its powerful built-in speaker to emit up to 8 selectable bird noises, telling the birds to leave your property in their own language.
		The bird noises are recorded onto a microchip, which sends out audible "distress calls" from birds within the target species, as well as threatening predator calls.

	Bird Language Basics
		Birds make noises to communicate with each other, and we can learn to understand what they are “talking” about.
		As you get to know the birds around you, you will be able to intuit their language, the same way you can tell when a close friend is happy or upset just from how that person answers the phone.
		Birds are bound to lift your spirits with the mysteries and delight of bird language.

	B-Mail(sm): NH.Birds for Tue, 11 Apr 2006
		I ran outside to check for casualties - there weren't any, but I heard strange bird noises (new to me bird noises, anyway) and looked toward the source - low and behold, there was a sharp shinned hawk sitting in a bush, several feet away.
		I'm not sure if the noises were coming from her or not.
		Not to anthropomorphize, but it certainly looked as though she was annoyed with me, and I was standing between her and a small group of songbirds and any takeout plans she may have had...

	new tiel makes wierd noises - Tailfeathers Bird Community
		My baby made that noise when she wanted to be held or scratched too...they do grow out of it.
		Regression usually happens due to the stress of moving to a new home, it means the baby bird wants to be handfed again and will stop eating or reduce the amount it eats...become hungry(because it's starving) and beg you to feed it.
		However, if the bird is eating well and not losing weight, it may just be begging for you to play with it or scratch it or something.

		There was a bush between them at this time, so the bird had not yet spotted her.
		Diamond was making chirping warbling sounds just the like the bird, apparently in an attempt to lure the bird closer for the kill.
		It may be that a cat's ability to make bird noises requires this ability and that not all of them have the capability to do so.

	Fake bird sounds on Mill Avenue irk some patrons : AZ IMC
		The speakers were installed in March to diminish the bird population on Mill Avenue, said Steve Amelotte, Tempe parks/golf landscaping maintenance supervisor and city arborist.
		The speakers emit both sonic and ultrasonic noises that travel upward, and they play only from dusk to dawn since that is when the birds nest, he added.
		That amount of birds is simply too bothersome to have around shoppers and eaters, even if it is a beautiful and impressive sight, he added.

	QuakerParrots.com - Keeping Quakers Entertained
		A bird spends up to 80% of its time finding food in the wild, and they adapt quite well to having to work for their favorite treats.
		After the bird is habitually playing with the toys WITH you, put those same toys in the cage when you are not at home.
		When the bird is bored and lonely, he will associate those toys with you, and playing with you, and should start playing with them on his own.

	anarchists: What do Anarchists think of Avian Activism
		The noises — the calls of predators, even the sounds of pigeons being attacked — are supposed to scare the pigeons, or at least make them pay attention.
		Monday, amid a burst of recorded bird calls, the crowd was as thick as second lieutenants at an officers’ club breakfast.
		The pigeons converged on the pavement north of the recruiting station at 9:23 for a snack.

	Stupid Bird and Owner Tricks
		This clever bird taught herself to take the "stale" food and dunk it in a separate bin of flaked dried fish before eating.
		Try to minimize the risk for birds: wing-clippings, curtains, not letting the bird out at certain times of day, and perhaps most usefully, putting up those removable/reusable window "stickers" to warn the bird that it's not free flying open space.
		knowing potential feeding problems, giving birds showers they like, etc., are all results in part based on observing the bird and putting oneself in the bird's place.

	BBC NEWS \| Science/Nature \| 'Lost bird's' distinctive knocks
		News that the North American bird had been sighted in Arkansas for the first time since the 1940s caused a sensation when it was announced in April.
		The bird noises were picked up on autonomous recording units strapped to trees at more than 150 sites in the half-million-acre Big Woods.
		The team sorted through over 18,000 hours of material, eliminating noises from gunshots and other sources, to find about 100 double knocks that bear a strong resemblance to the display drumming of the ivory-bill's closest relatives.

		China imported a U.S.-made scream machine to scare away the birds at Beijing airport -- except they didn't recognize the noises and refused to budge.
		The bird-dispersing equipment had recorded the screams of American birds or the sounds of the birds' natural enemies, the Beijing Evening News said.
		"The workers have already recorded six or seven bird screams which are common in Beijing," it said, adding that the new scare tactics were undergoing tests.

		The noise continued but then I heard a fl bird sing in the garden (funny, should be alarming surely?) so went back out to have another butchers.

	Birds of Westwood: Yellow-Chevroned Parakeet
		The feral population of this species probably began in the 1970s, when large numbers of the birds started to be imported from their native South America to be sold as pets.
		Initial populations were probably established from birds that escaped, either from the crates they were imported in (which were opened for inspection upon arrival), or from owners.
		When Peru banned export of those and other birds in 1973, the demand for such pet birds was met by increased imports from other countries, mostly Bolivia, where they have the Yellow-Chevroned Parakeets instead of the White-Winged ones.

		Wild birds that are designed to scare away every other bird on the planet.
		After asking a few people why bird noises were being played over speakers in the cirlce outside, I found out that real birds usually flock to the trees in the circle every night at dusk.
		So, I guess they figured the best solution was to keep the birds from ever landing in the trees and pooping on the sidewalks.

	guns making bird noises???? - Ghost Recon.net Forums
		I've noticed that when you have two or more mods that use sound files that are the same, activated at the same time, the sound is that of a bird, try deactivating some mods and see were the conflict is.
		I have a new one in my own sound folder, but I get a bird sound too...this is for a mod I'm making though and I really would rather have the new sound!
		It's already listed in the \origmiss\sound\effects.xml and all effects.xml's are compiled into 1, so you get that dual listing and thus the bird sounds start up (first sound in the origmiss effects.xml listing is 'a_flbird.wav').
