Birdsong?
"Nick Wagg" wrote in message
... "John" wrote in message ... In a Garden Centre in Ivybridge, Devon, one is greeted with 'piped' bird song. Although it's only a recording, it is very effective. They have it in Huntingdon GC too. I prefer the real thing but it's better than nothing. The reason I mention it is that the gardens around my home have - during the past half a dozen years - become sterile of birds. I'll not go into the reason for obvious reasons, but it occurs to me that a poor second choice to true bird song, would be the mentioned disced copy. Does anyone know of a disc of British bird song? Not one of those with musical background - or dreadful shrieking choir - but genuine, honest to goodness birds singing their hearts out. IIRC, the RSPB web site has some for sale. -- Nick Wagg There was a chap in London on one garden show, his whole roof was his garden and he'd installed small speakers all over the place to pipe through bird song. So I guess these things exists, just offering up a small glimmer of hope. Duncan |

The message
from "Nick Wagg" contains these words: Does anyone know of a disc of British bird song? Not one of those with musical background - or dreadful shrieking choir - but genuine, honest to goodness birds singing their hearts out. IIRC, the RSPB web site has some for sale. I have one recorded by Ludwig Koch, but it's not for sale. And it is unlikely to be in the current releases. You could google for one though. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

For sound samples try here http://www.bl.uk/collections/sound-archive/wildex.html Despite having two cats, we have the real thing in our garden, perhaps because we don't have Franz's music blaring over the wall :-) Incidentally, I noticed that there were no sparrows here, at least a year before I saw reports about their absence in the UK. They didn't slowly decline, one year there were lots and the next they had all gone. We have a sparrow that feeds in our garden at the moment, their place has been taken by finches and tits. And it is unlikely to be in the current releases. You could google for one though. What about Percy wotshis names bird imitations? Long ago I went to a small village beer festival in Bavaria, in the gents was an obese Bavarian in lederhosen standing in a stall doing really good bird imitations, I reported this to the friends I was with. One went to see for himself, he reported that the Bavarian was still there but was doing good steam engine imitations. About half an hour later, the Bavarian emerged from the bogs and climbed onto the stage, where he did a performance of bird and steam engine imitations. |

I didn't mention it, but we were convinced he had a problem with his bladder :-) |
