PLEASE ZOOM IN TO SEE THE BIRDS ON THE WIRES!
I just love the way these clever birds congregate on the telegraph wires here every evening to watch the sunset as Im positive thats what they are doing.
Listening to their chattering is amazing as Im certain they have a language all of their own. I know they are perfect mimics and Ive heard them make tractor and car sounds. Ive even heard one make cat meeaowing sounds and one used to come to my bird table and make a noise like a squeaky gate hinge. Im told that they can also imitate the calls of birds of prey and they say they do this to warn the others of an impending attack!
Maybe they hear these noises soon after being hatched in the nest and it stays with them. They are one of my favourite birds and they are related to the Indian Hill Myna that can imitate voices and talk superbly!
I think there is a hierarchy amongst them as it appears like that in their positioning on the wires. Us Flickr members are in the cheap seats on the lower wire!!! Now there is a surprise!!!
One of the greatest spectacles is when they put on a display before roosting for the night. Ive never seen it but I would love to.
Heres one of the best clips and its amazing!
What do we know!!!!!!!
Do please have a look and enjoy it!
My photos are also on Flickriver. See link below!
