    Aye, guv'nor -

    - if she yells, "don't touch me, you pervert" and starts kicking at you, she's a nutcracker.
    - If  she snickers an says, "you call that big?" she's a mockingbird.
    - If she tells you all about her other "encounters", she's a crow.
    - If, she says, "that will be another $500", she's a robin.
     
    This here's a family site so I can't tell you what the call of a swallow is.

    Yes. Among them are crows, blue jays, house finches and cardinals.

    I can tell crows and mourning doves by their calls.  Both are irritating as all get-out.  I can also tell an owl from its call. This post was edited by Spunky at February 7, 2025 8:22 AM MST
