Blackbird begging sound

Apparently you only get this sound from a blackbird as a fledgeling. It is loud – this recording in picked from a 20minute segment of intermittent begging. Yet again the blackbird seems to be inviting the neighbourhood cats to come and get it!

Blackbird chipping

So you want to pack it in for the night. You’re a blackbird. You may have little ‘uns about. You know cats come out at night
So just before you hit the sack, you advertise for two and a half minutes to all the neighbourhood cats that you’re about to finish off for the day. Seems barmy to me. Mad.
