    I’ve noticed there’s a local bird that’s learned to perfectly imitate the “walk” chirp they play for blind people at street crossings. Curious how this will play out

    • Crows, jays, starlings and many other species also do mimicry. Car alarms, street sounds, the crossing sound you mentioned.garbage
    • Ravens are basically parrots and will mimic human speech. Probably a mockingbird though. I had one that learned my neighbor's water sprinkler.garbage

    • They're sneaky, wonderful fuckers. Are you still keeping chickens?garbage
    • Yep!scarabin
    • I'm guessing corvids then, because they will stalk a coop. Also start selling QBN branded eggs.garbage
