This is one of my current favourite bird videos:


Tree-top view of Great Blue Herons in amazing double flight to nest - YouTube

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology site is here: Birds
Their videos and audios of bird calls are excellent. Haha, one can go get lost in that site for a long time.

Two web cams have been placed nearby the nest after it was seen that a heron pair had begun to use it.
If you check on the web site, you'll see links to the cams.

It sounded just like me! He was excited, ran up and down the bars and his voice went high and low and I'm guessing he's mimicking exactly the voices he has head. It was like he had all the words piled up from keeping quiet and they spilled out! He chuckled, laughed using words "ha ha" and then did a real laugh. If you had him you may not get any sleep at all!
Cute story about the chatty bird. Well I don't usually sleep much anyway.
That African Grey wants you to take him home, me thinks.

Great pics and videos everyone, I really enjoy them.
