I don’t like a murder of crows cawing. I’ve probably associated it with too many scary movies, but crows make me shudder. The cooing of pigeons is soothing. And the tweets of other birds here in NYC are neither here nor there for me.
When I was in Australia there were kookaburras everywhere, it seemed like. At first, it was cool to hear them because their call was new to me, but after a few days it got annoying. There was another bird that was seemingly everywhere, mostly black with a pink breast, IIRC. I don’t remember if it made a sound, but I’d like to know what that bird is called. I haven’t been able to find it on birding sites.
