bird is the word. papa oom mow mow.

What's the name of the Midwestern bird whose call sounds like "DO WHAAAT? DO WHAAAT? DO WHAAAT? ... BOUNCY BOUNCY BOUNCY!"?

Because that bird is the shit.

  1. Might be a red winged blackbird. I just found this site that could help if you're that curious: http://www.learnbirdsongs.com/birdsong.php?id=25

  2. "BOUNCY BOUNCY BOUNCY?" That is the sweetest birdcall I have ever heard.

    I don't even recall the last time I saw a red winged blackbird. It must've been years.

  3. I dunno what that call is, but have you read Beatrix Potter's short story "the tale of timmy tiptoes"? Here's a link:

    it has misconstrued bird calls, and talking squirrels.
