This Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), seen at Red Rocks Park, was not shy. Usually, they are heard but not seen, since they prefer the cover of thick shrubbery.
Their call is a raspy sound, similar to a mewing cat, or even a baby whining. But, I have been fooled many times by catbirds mimicking the calls of other birds.
Northern Red-billed Hornbill (Tockus erythrorhynchus). Hornbills are noisy, conspicuous birds easily distinguished by their bold black and white feather patterns, accented by long, colorful bills and patches of bare skin around the eyes or throat. Their first two neck vertebrae are fused to support their large bill. Samburu National Reserve, Kenya.
Conservation status: Least Concern
I love the colours of this photo, the bird not so much. Noisy Miners live in large groups and are very territorial and highly aggressive. Like a gang of thugs they will attack and chase away other species of birds that enter their territory, even if that territory had once belonged to that other bird.

Large gray-brown honeyeater with a completely bare black head and a distinctive "horn" on the bill. Upperparts are gray and underparts are dull white. Completely bare head is unique among the friarbirds. Typically very loud; emits a variety of harsh, loud squawks. Inhabits a wide range of habitats in eastern Australia, including (especially) open forests and gardens and parks, where it is common. (eBird)

Water can be scarce in many parts of Australia. This Noisy Friarbird had learned that this particular water tap dripped during the day so had come for a drink.

These little Bewick's wrens are quite chatty as they explore their surroundings. This one told me to look for it in a bush, then soon emerged to this blackberry vine, and struck a classic wren pose.
Redshank - Tringa Totanus
The common redshank is a widespread breeding bird across temperate Eurasia. It is a migratory species, wintering on coasts around the Mediterranean, on the Atlantic coast of Europe from Ireland and Great Britain southwards, and in South Asia. They are uncommon vagrants outside these areas.
They are wary and noisy birds which will alert everything else with their loud piping call. Like most waders, they feed on small invertebrates. Redshanks will nest in any wetland, from damp meadows to saltmarsh, often at high densities. They lay 3–5 eggs.
The common redshank is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
It is widely distributed and quite plentiful in some regions, and thus not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.
Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala)
One from this day last year. This one didn't want to stay and sit for photos.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
This is just my attempt to use the most boring and annoying bird in the world to produce something exciting and interesting with it.
Hope it works.
All along Craig Creek in rural northern Botetourt County, Va., there are camping spots that local folks have set up along the creek bank. The creek is deep and wide enough to support swimming holes and canoeing, and in the spring and summer months the locals come down and set up tents and spend their weekends. And when the Independence Day (July Fourth) holiday rolls around, the night sky lights up with lots and lots of noisy and bright -- and illegal -- fireworks. I went out to a friend's campground on a night running up to July 4 with the plan of getting some firefly shots. Suddenly, I became a fireworks photographer. ©2022 John M. Hudson | jmhudson1.com
A Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala) ignores all the seeds and fruit on offer to winkle out a gem from the bottom of the seed and fruit ball. In its natural environment, the noisy miner feeds on nectar, fruit, insects and assists in the pollination of native plants.
first sorry pps it is small .. but i scaned it !!

thaaaaaaaanks for the edit !!
As irritating as they are/can be, the Noisy Miners are definitely birds with attitude and they start early...

Gulls, or colloquially seagulls, are seabirds of the family Laridae in the suborder Lari. They are most closely related to the terns (family Sternidae) and only distantly related to auks, skimmers and even more distantly to waders. Until the 21st century, most gulls were placed in the genus Larus, but that arrangement is now considered polyphyletic, leading to the resurrection of several general.
An older name for gulls is mews, which is cognate with German Möwe, Danish måge, Swedish mås, Dutch meeuw, Norwegian måke/måse and French mouette, and can still be found in certain regional dialects.
Gulls are typically medium to large birds, usually grey or white, often with black markings on the head or wings. They typically have harsh wailing or squawking calls; stout, longish bills; and webbed feet. Most gulls are ground-nesting carnivores which take live food or scavenge opportunistically, particularly the Larus species. Live food often includes crustaceans, molluscs, fish and small birds. Gulls have unhinging jaws which allow them to consume large prey. Gulls are typically coastal or inland species, rarely venturing far out to sea, except for the kittiwakes. The large species take up to four years to attain full adult plumage, but two years is typical for small gulls. Large white-headed gulls are typically long-lived birds, with a maximum age of 49 years recorded for the herring gull.
Gulls nest in large, densely packed, noisy colonies. They lay two or three speckled eggs in nests composed of vegetation. The young are precocial, born with dark mottled down and mobile upon hatching. Gulls are resourceful, inquisitive, and intelligent, the larger species in particular demonstrating complex methods of communication and a highly developed social structure. For example, many gull colonies display mobbing behavior, attacking and harassing predators and other intruders.Certain species have exhibited tool-use behavior, such as the herring gull, using pieces of bread as bait with which to catch goldfish, for example.[ Many species of gulls have learned to coexist successfully with humans and have thrived in human habitats. Others rely on kleptoparasitism to get their food. Gulls have been observed preying on live whales, landing on the whale as it surfaces to peck out pieces of flesh.

Also known as the Golden Browed Bulbul, this is an endemic bird of South India and Sri Lanka. The bird is bright yellow and easy to identify in the bush and canopy where they are sighted. Apparently, this subspecies of the bird we shot in the Malabar region / Western Coast is a bit paler than the subspecies on the other coast - though I haven't seen it yet.
The birds are of the same size as other bulbuls - maybe 20 cms - and are found in small groups. We sighted several around fruiting trees such as wild berries, Figs and they were quite loud during the time. The calls were a tad easy to remember and just like other bulbuls they were noisy. This is the start of their breeding season and hence I think they were out more than usual.
Many thanks in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
I love the snow and tried a higher ISO today, tons of noise for my wobbly hands. I managed to get one or two out of...8 million!
Here's to learning and practicing!!
Be well dear Flickr, friends!
A New Tie.... Mr Noisy, bright colourful, every time I wear it I smile,.... I can't take myself seriously.... I hope it raises a Smile with you.
Medium-sized songbird that produces one of eastern Australia’s most familiar rainforest calls. Olive brown above, with white throat patch contrasting strongly with black face, crest, and breast. Juvenile lacks white patch. Feeds on the ground, most commonly in dense vegetation of rainforest and other wet forests. Very vocal. Male sings “oooooo...doo-doo-doo–whipp!” and female responds “pew pew.” (eBird)

Heard frequently in rainforests of eastern Australia, we quickly learned the song. At O'Reilly's, they are very tame and would come to people for food. In fact, a few times they were too close to photograph, even with the 100-400mm lens. The main problem is that they love the deepest, darkest parts of the forest, so very noisy and dark originals. This photo has been significantly edited to bring out the bird from the gloom.

Noisy and gregarious, these cheerful exploiters of man's rubbish and wastefulness have managed to colonise most of the world. The ultimate avian opportunist perhaps. Monitoring suggests a severe decline in the UK house sparrow population, recently estimated as dropping by 71 per cent between 1977 and 2008 with substantial declines in both rural and urban populations. While the decline in England continues, Breeding Bird Survey data indicate recent population increases in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Starling:-
Smaller than blackbirds, with a short tail, pointed head, triangular wings, starlings look black at a distance but when seen closer they are very glossy with a sheen of purples and greens. Their flight is fast and direct and they walk and run confidently on the ground. Noisy and gregarious, starlings spend a lot of the year in flocks. Still one of the commonest of garden birds, its decline elsewhere makes it a Red List species.

I'm no expert, but I'm led to believe that the patterns on the top of this silver gull's wings indicate it is a juvenile. In any case it does provide a little camouflage. As you can see from its open beak it was making a noisy landing.
