They really sound like it, we have lots of them nesting in the neighbours trees and that sound is what we hear every evening before night fall. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0james0 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 They’re not singing, they’re screaming at each other. They do well after dusk when it’s dark out. I suppose they’re discussing the days events to each other loudly because they can’t hear one another because of their loud screeches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I was a mynah in another life, I know they are making joyful music about coming home to the safety of the roost, about dusk, about the wonder of surviving another day, and finding food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyful music? Sorry no not music. It’s a bunch of birds screeching and squawking at each other. Just because it’s a bird doesn’t make it a singer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly preferable over the constant din of those clanky, smoke-belching metallic things known as cars. These guys are likely calling to others in their flock to make sure they’re there. Mass gatherings: safety in numbers. Likely the myna or starling yes. I miss CM’s birds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the night they will congregate in the cities where it’s warmer and less humidity/moisture. Very noisy right after dark, wouldn’t say it’s music unless one likes C grade junk metal “music”????
