That’s very unusual - most birds stop chirping at sundown. Are you sure it’s a bird?

You need to either get earplugs, a White Noise machine, or listen to classical music while you're working. That should take your mind off of the natural bird noise. I cannot imagine being annoyed by a bird unless it's a woodpecker pounding on your gutter, which is how we woke up every morning one spring a couple of years ago.

There's a reason they are the most hunted bird in existence. They are the pigeons of the country. Yuck.

Heh! Remember Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny shooting off the front porch to hush one of those up, and it keeps on screeching.

Woodpeckers destroy your trees? Your ignorance is astounding.

Op get a air purifier for your bedroom. The birds are loud at this time of year looking for mates. It's probably a mockingbird. There are a million ways to deal with this and that does not include getting an outdoor cat. They decimate song bird populations.



To the lovely human being who wrote felt the need to expend energy accusing a stranger of astounding ignorance: please consider why you would be so nasty rather than attempt to educate someone, but even more, please educate yourself first as to the topic on which you were so nasty. Yes, sapsuckers (a form of woodpeckers) destroy trees by sucking the sap out of them and then denying nutrients to the trees. I'd send a link, but you can find it yourself if you are an actual person rather than a troll.

I do not understand either why someone could dislike the sounds of mourning doves or emphasize “TWO” in the second sentence above.


Mourning doves have the exact pitch and frequency that drives a stake into my very soul.

I live in a townhouse community in DC. We have loud noises outside of our door every morning. I thought it was a bird or some other wildlife. Turns out it is a small boy. Screeches every morning on cue. Crazy.
