A Blackbird will give off a chuck chuck chuck when it's 'area' is being

A Blackbird will sit on top of a tree at dusk and sing its heart out.
This I
understand to be a territorial 'thing'.

Can anyone explain why a Blackbird should be singing its heart out
yesterday
afternoon, just above me, in the near vicinity of its nest building
activities, whilst I had the SHREDDER going?????????

Dunno, but we once had a canary that would only sing when bacon was being
cooked in the frying pan :-D

Ooh... I'd sing like a canary for a nice Bacon sandy...
On soft wholemeal bread, please, MCC Yum.

With Coleman's ENGLISH Mustard of course ;-))

(We had an Hotel, well my parents had an hotel years ago and my father said
that Coleman made his money from the mustard left on the plate. Since then,
I have ALWAYS made sure there was no mustard left on the side of the plate
;-)
