Twitter, tweets and twitterpated.

By
Industry Observer with Nature As Neighbors

Twitter and tweeting is now associated with technology. However, the twitterpated sounds Twitter, tweets and twitterpated.of the male Black Capped Chickadee is one of the sweetest tweets you’ll ever hear.

It’s not the familiar “ chic-a-dee-dee-dee” we often associate with the fuzzy little birds. Instead, it’s referred to as the “fee bee” song - a thin repetitive whistle uttered by males during the breeding season.

This morning, when I took the dog outside, I was greeted by a “fee bee” song. It reminded me of the sounds of nature, and its pure, simple and sweet tweets.  It’s also a sound of early spring and its twitterpated creatures.


 Please enjoy approximately 40 seconds of nature’s and Black Capped Chickadees' 
sweet tweets

Gayle, is it the CD with Christmas songs and natural sounds...like ice skating, fire crackling, birds. etc ? If so, I have it too. I did have a good day - ran with Mac, worked in the yard for a while listening to lots of birds singing. :)  Hope you got outside to play today too.

Anita, I liked the stream as the backdrop too. Soothing, eh?

Hi Gary, you're welcome. Glad you liked a little break from technology.

Alexandra, isn't that the coolest?  I'm not surprised, I wish we could pipe nature into many situations and diffuse some tensions.

Good evening, Debb. I have loads of Chickadees that flock to the feeders on a daily basis. They are such a lively bird...

Li - perfect quote, thanks for sharing it with us.

Lee and Carol - Spa days with the chickadees songs - it is a relaxing sound, especially with the stream.

Mary - glad you like it. I know you appreciate our birds.

Kristine - I thought you were in Sedona, I must have read a comment wrong...I assume you're going soon. What an absolutely wonderful "getaway" to nature that will be!

Bob - it's a breath of fresh air, literally from our lives spent around so much technology. :)

Cathy, my husband had never heard of the term "twitterpated." I guess Bambi wasn't a big hit in his childhood. Ha. That's why there's a link explaining it - i figured there might be more folks who didn't know the term. :)

Our neighbor has feeders for these little guys and every morning we have hundreds in our backyard hanging out with Athena. (Don't seem to bother each other)

Todd, That's neat isn't it? Who wouldn't want to hang out with Athena. :) It's handy to have a neighbor who feeds the birds, you're the lucky recipient of the activity.My parents feed the birds - we love it when the goldfinches get busy with their thistle seeds. They often hang off the feeder at all angles. 

It is a lovely little bird - glad you enjoyed the video. Marge.

Debb, it would be really nice to see leaves like you have right now!     Your neck of the woods is just beautiful, and the sounds of birds do make you feel spring is just around the corner!

Joan, we are starting to green up even more and spring will be upon us in full bloom before we know it. Going to Alaska next month, but hope to schedule a Denver trip in May or June - you know I'll make time to meet you.

Nature's diamond tipped tone arm riding the natural fresh air groove.... nothing "dead air" about that. Better than real... get outdoors. Head to the wildlife infested woods, the sounds of birds, bees, water. Wind in the trees. That's rest and relaxation.
