Have you seen a bird that tries to communicate with you?
I have. On a barmy day of May, while picking up some rocks,
this bird, chirping wildly, came near to me and started acting
as though it were sitting on its nest, still chirping and looking
at me. I didn’t know what she was trying to say. What’s wrong
with you, birdy? My hubby explained that she has a nest in the
shrub nearby and is trying to tell us not to disturb it.
Don’t worry, birdy, I said, but she continued doing the protest.
Not only that, she even chirped to her partner, who was watching
us at a distance. And he, too, started doing the same act as she did.
Ah ha! We slowly went to our car. Oh-ho-ho, the female bird
uttered as if to say, Thanks for leaving us alone. I was astounded
by her courageous act of getting so close to the humans and telling them
that they are disturbing their not-yet-hatched chicks!

Two tiny birds built a nest in one of our tall desert plants a few months ago, and we assume the chicks were born a few weeks ago. They’ve been a joy to watch coming and going, and they sure chirp at us if we get too close to their nest.

Even though I’ve known that the birds chirp to communicate with temselves, and mabe with humans too, I usually ignored them. But now, I pay more attention when they chirp urgently. : )

Yes, he is. I asked him how he knew what the bird was trying to say, he just shrugged off. But I know he is an outdoors man more than I am, and contact with the nature that helps to uderstand the nature’s language. 😊
