the sound of millions of animals desperately trying to get laid
And yet when I do it, I’m a pervert and asked to leave the park.
You need to dress more flamboyantly. Like a peacock.
Tehehe, “cock”!
I’ll show myself out, thank you.
Birds are generally saying one of two things: “Fuck you,” or “Fuck me.”
Yes and no. A lot of the sounds are mating calls, but there’s so much more being communicated.
Some sounds are warnings, like when squirrels see a cat and start to chirp. If you watch them, you’ll see them run up a tree and pause upside down on the trunk, chirping an alert to others. Other squirrels in the area will repeat the behavior and amplify the “message” until the threat (the neighborhood cat) goes away.
Some sounds are intended to trick others. Blue jays mimic the sounds made by birds of prey in order to scare other birds away from their feeding grounds. It works really well - I’ve seen a jay clear a whole flock of starlings from my yard before. He then swooped down and plucked a bunch of worms and bugs from the soil.
There’s probably more, but these are just examples I’ve observed while hanging out on my porch.
honestly i’d expect most sounds to not be mating sounds unless it’s specifically a time of year where most of the animals there are in mating season
i think we humans tend to forget that it’s not very normal to just always be looking to bang, for most animals (and plants even) it’s done very enthusiastically at specific times.
Jays in my area well fly around making eagle calls convincing enough to fool plenty humans (myself included). Multiple times I’ve heard that unique shriek and searched the sky for a big bird only to see a cheeky Blue Jay hopping around in a tree 🤣
Some are also like “Fuck off, this is my tree!”
That just makes it all the more beautiful, to be honest.
and it makes a lot of sense when one thinks of clear cutting in terms of puritanism.
TIL this waterfalls want to get nasty
That’s why they’re so wet.
Sometimes the sound is the animals actually getting laid.
No different to most pop music.
This meme implies that birds and insects are not animals
Yeah, still WAY better than listening to traffic and incessant car noise?
Enjoy it before Zuck sucks all that water out to cool the computers that bring you Italian brainrot animals and Turbodong 2000 videos.
Italian brainrot animals ?? That sounds funny i wanna know what it is
It was silly and goofy at first but quickly became tiresome. I just wonder if the amount of computing power and resources we throw at such frivolities are worth it.
Turbodong 2000
They’re releasing a retro version? Will it say cool catch phrases from a quarter century ago?
Well, big same, ya know?
Or trying to kill each other at lunch time
