Early morning birdsong - love it/hate it?

We live in a rural setting..and I am fine with the birds...well some of them...My brother in laws(who lives next door) roosters and chickens drive me nuts...but the other birds I am fine with..

Depends on the birds... if they're sweetly singing pleasant songs, it's nice to hear, but get a bunch of crows or bluejays squabbling and I want to shoot 'em.

I do not seem to hear it until I go outside, and then it is very sweet. Usually cardinals and robins. I live in a farming type community, but within city limits.

My apt faces some woods and a man made pond that used to be woods till the dumba$$es who run this place chopped them down. I get an owl that "Whoos" at night. "Who-who, who-whoo." Then, I get seagulls too, because it's Florida afterall. I also get ducks-a-qwACKING, cranes a roosting and birds a chirping. I like it. I always wonder what makes these birds so happy. Maybe because it's Springtime.

As far as I am concerned, I think it all depends on waht I am doing. If I am sleep in the morning,while the birdsong rings, I think I will get so upset then and get annoying,too. That is saying I hate that sound so much. But if I am get up to have an exercise, I think will so glad to hear the birdsongs on the tree or just on my balcony.

I live in a suburb, there aren't many trees around. But, the birds fight the squirrels for a spot on the branches. There's usually a nice song in the morning, I enjoy listening to the music with my first cup of tea. Going to agree with your husband though, seagulls clattering is really quite annoying.

I live in a suburb but we have a lot of trees. i do not notice the birds unless I intentionally listen for them. I like to sit on the back deck with my coffee and try to hear them.

I loved early birdsong when I was a little child. But now it depends on whether I had a good sleep or not. Small birds sound pretty to me but there are some famous ones(like cuckoo) who irritate me instead. I am quite intolerant to noise, even if it comes from birds. My roommate here has a morning alarm just like that, but he's still alive!

I would love to wake up and hear a bird song.I would very much prefer that over being awaken by my alarm clock.when my alarm clock awakes me,I think,uggh it's back to work again.when I hear the birds sing in the morning,I feel,ah it's weekend.

Bird song is really nice in the morning, but I don't like it when I'm still too sleepy and birds' noises wake me up. I would also hate to hear seagulls in the morning because they really don't sound good. I live in the city, but sometimes I can still hear birds sing in the morning.

I do like the sound of the early morning birds and we are in a very heavily treed area so there are plenty of them! It brings a kind of happy message to the world to get out of bed and enjoy the best part of the day. We are in a suburb that is the oldest town in the entire region and was a country town until about 20 years ago when the city stretched out and engulfed it! We are on the edge of the city though and it is rural only a couple of minutes drive away. Most of the time here the birds are very peaceful sounding but every now and then we get woken up by kookaburras who are quite loud and very unique in their sound. I know what you mean about different areas having different bird sounds. Whenever we travel back to see our family and stay with them, I always get woken very early by the birds as they make a different sound to what I have gotten used to here.

oh, I like them very much . I grown up in the countryside when I was a little girl . there are many bamboos in my grandama'a backyard. every morning many birds will sing between bamboos . I used to listen to their songs . it is charming .

I have lived in the suburbs almost all my life and I do not know if I can ever live in the city. I am used to seeing lots of greenery, pets in the streets and birds flying around. I have always thought hearing them birds in the morning is a sign that the day is going to be a good one. Just now, I hear them chirping outside :

Where I live is a factory district,every morning when I wake up,what I heard is the machines noise.I'm delighted to be woken by birdsong not the machines noise.

I live in town now but lived in the country most of my life. I miss so many different bird songs. Even the seagulls never bothered me. Here, there are so few that I feed them, trying to encourage more. The crows do bother me a little, though.

I like the birds, sure beats the school bus, the garbage truck or the crazy lady screaming... Probably the best part is that the mocking birds don't generally get wound up until later in the day so we have cooing doves and a few other sweeter voiced birds first thing in the morning.

i live in a country setting.. and love to hear the birds singing away when i first wake up with the sun. its peaceful. ive also lived at the beach.. and loved the sound of the gulls mixed in with the roaring surf.

You just brought back the funniest memory... I had a friend I used to visit as a teen, & her bedroom window was blocked by some sort of thick bush that, every morning, was filled with chirping, singing, twittering birds of many kinds. It was delightful! But there was one bird (I never could see what kind) who was...well, lets just say he or she didn't sound like a nightingale--but that didn't deter it from adding its unlovely voice praising the sunrise to the rest of the avian chorus! OH, no! It was like this: Chitter, chirp. Cheep...tweet! Twitter twitter tweet? Peep peep? (Sigh...aaaww...how sweet!) Chirp chirp pikoo, pikoo! GRONK. A moment of silence...then the chorus picks up again. Tweet! Chirpity-chirp! Pikoo! Tuit tweet twitter peep pip twee--! GRONK. By this time everyone--human or otherwise--is wiiiide awake, & laffin' our patoots off! Thanks for the memory! Maggiepie EVERYONE! GO TRY THE NEW CATEGORY: Open Mike! ALL opinions WELCOME!

Hi Wizzy, I love listening to morning birdsongs. it's soothing to the ears. a birdsong is a good thing to start our morning right and gay!

hi wizzywig, i live in the city now but there two small trees next to my house. they get noisy early in the morning at dawn and just before dusk with the chirpings of birds which inhabit these trees. i don't mind. in fact i love them
