They makes those kind of calls near nighttime too, before going to bed. Very soothing.

Love the bark of these! So cute and funny.

They are so cute when they do that.

Good sound and visual clarity. The woods around Stockholm hosts many of these creatures and their songs. More please

[@AlwaysHarmonyy]

We have them in Poland too, beautifull bird ♡

[@shadowjackphoton]

Yes, they are an introduced bird down here, and now a fairly common backyard bird. :)

I found twice dead in my yard. Cats don't eat them. They hunt birds for fun. One was little younger than this one. Other was like this one, with one open eye.

We have a family in our graden, a mother and 3 kids that can now fly

🐦 Early in the morning, before the alarm clock wakes me up, it's the melodious sounds of the beautiful birds that wakes me up with a pleasurable feeling. It's the birds melodious sounds that makes my mood feel better and cool. They fly from tree to tree making different types of sounds and getting themselves happy. They also makes my mood feel better and cool. 🐤I opened the windows and peeped through the trees and the flower plants. There, I saw several types of lovely birds and their sweet sounds that gave me a cool relaxation. Birds welcomes the morning and waiting patiently for the sun to rise. They welcome the sun rise by their melodious sounds that is hardly difficult to highlight its natural performance. 🐦 While I was watching the movements of the beautiful birds through the window, suddenly I felt someone touching my shoulder very slowly and softly. In no time I turned back to see who was that. To my surprise I saw my younger sister Sara watching along with me the bird's free movements and then their pleasurable sounds that attracts our attention and relaxations. 🐤If I was a bird, if I had lovely voices, if I had melodious sounds, if I would be able to fly up in the sky, if I can fly from tree to tree, if I can enjoy the tasty fruits as my favourite, if I could soak my body with the rain shower, if I could allow the sun light to make my tiny body feel better, then how happy I would be to live in this world with full of happiness. But I am unlucky to be a human being where there is no freedom like a bird has. 🐦🐤 By: Dawood Written on: 9th March 2022 🐦🐤🐦🐤🐦🐤🐦🐤🐦🐤🐦🐤🐦🐤🐦

So cute 🥰

[@BoHolbo]

It sounds awfully similar to alarm calls. Perhaps it’s a mix? Ps. great video quality, it’s nice to see a video from someone who actually cares about image quality! Did you film this during the golden hour?

[@shadowjackphoton]

Yes, sounds like alarm calls. Given there was another male nearby, I guess he was expressing displeasure rather than alarm? Always hard to know :)

I have a couple of these and a couple of females who frequent my patio. Almost managed to hand feed a female a couple of days ago. The females seem less tetchy than the males.
