Annoying bird

Anna84 · June 2016

Hi all, does anyone know what the reoccurring bird noise is in the gardens between Tollington Park, Turle Rd and Wray Cres? It starts at about 6am in the morning and keeps going for a couple of hours. I love wildlife and birds but this one is rather annoying. I've never heard a bird noise like this before in London. Is it someone's pet turkey?

Could it be magipies defending a nest?

I'll ask around!

More likely to be other large birds, jays probably, defending a nest from aggressive magpies.
Or you might have parakeets. They are really raucous.

We're a couple of streets up, and the magpies are definitely annoying early in the morning!

Is it voting for Christmas?

Turkeys voting for Christmas. What vague bell does that ring, I wonder?

Thank you all. If I had to explain the noise I would say it sounds like a husky, untalented cock. It is a loud, reoccurring noise (every 30sec/minute) that wakes up not only me but the entire house. I listened to jays on YouTube and it comes very close. Hopefully I get used to it:-)

Michael Gove?

Oh it might be a fox scarer if it's that regular. Jays are only noisy when they are being attacked by other birds, very quiet the rest of the day.

Howdy, Stranger!
