Birds tweeting in the middle of the night, what the heck?

Scam · 8 Mar 2015 at 11:57

So for about the third time recently I've been woken up by this. And yes I mean the feathered kind.. Last night we were woken up at 3.30am by a couple of birds in the trees tweeting and whistling away. It's unbelievably annoying! :mad:

Bit early for the dawn chorus, are you certain it wasn't rats in your roof space discussing whether to eat you that night or leave you until the next day?

It's funny you should say this, as I've noticed it as well recently.

Maybe their watches are slow.

are you near a lamp post? i'm pretty sure it's robins that get up early when the sun first starts rising, and with a lamp post near by to their nest they will see this as the sun and get up and start singing way before they should. afaik this isn't good for them as they wont be getting the rest they need and singing throughout the night is fairly energy consuming too.

Robins will sing all night, especially at this time of year.

These first world problems have really been getting down lately. Think I'm gonna need some counselling in order to re-find myself. :eek:

Don't forget the Jewbish birds who evict other birds from their nests. ( The Cuckoo is clearly Jewbish ).

Find the nest and use it as a letterbox!

Is sleeping with earplugs on not a solution?

Its breeding time, he saw his own reflection, assumed a rival as they can't see the reflection as themselves and he was having a go at himself. Determining who is the toughest.

Fairly sure the answer is no said:

This. Light pollution, does wildlife no good either. We've had new lamp posts fitted around where I live and they are now brighter so the birds are simply thinking it's daylight hours

If you're the superstitious type you may want to write a Will.
