It's interesting the amount of noise we're surrounded by. I have music playing in the background (well, usually!) up here in the Computer Room; fans blowing inside the computers to keep them cool. The other day was outside and one bird was squawk-chirping constantly. Wasn't a bad sound, just constant and loud. AFAIK we weren't invading his space as when we moved around he didn't calm down nor get agitated, in fact a few times he sort of joined us, sitting on the railing about five feet from us. ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® .... What do you call a very rude bird? A mockingbird. --- MultiMail/Win32 v0.47 þ wcECHO 4.2 ÷ ILink: The Safe BBS þ Bettendorf, IA --- QScan/PCB v1.20a / 01-0462 * Origin: ILink: CFBBS | cfbbs.no-ip.com | 856-933-7096 (454:1/1) .
