Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life, you were only waiting
For this moment to arise
Let us never forget the reason why Paul McCartney wrote the song Black Bird. He wanted to write a song that inspired hope for those involved in the Civil Rights Movement.
Just some trivia that came to mind, might be good to know...
Col Do Ma Ma Daqua!
Is this what the Leonard Cohen song is about?
Which one?
Birds can make two sounds at once! They harmonize with themselves! I think thatβs incredible. Sometimes when you hear a some birds calling to each other, itβs actually just one bird.
I learned about it during this podcast!
Well great, now I'm wondering if birds self-soothe when feeling lonely.
Like, what if little dude had spent time before this calling out, and this was after there was no response?
maybe its just practicing? leave it alone OK?
Our young Tui are practicing right now, its so fun watching them barely be able to sing, sounding like a donkey while trying there best to imitate the melodic adults.
Then they slowly grow up and learn new things until eventully they can perfectly imitate our car reversing beep, fooling us to think someone is stealing our car.
Performance anxiety and stage fright is a bitch.
If only I had the patience for taxonomy. Studying animals would be awesome. I'm stuck with rocks though, which is just fine lol.
Much easier to catch a rock, they're very slow compared to most animals.
FAFO - it's science!
Remember kids, the difference between science and screwing around is writing stuff down!
