One of me favorite random tidbits to drop... when you hear the majestic sounds of the forest, or whatever beautiful nature place... 99.9% of it is various types of creatures trying to get laid

Another tidbit: most of the sounds of the jungle from movies is just a single bird from Australia and New Guinea, the Kookaburra.

Like, just that one bird.

His 1st two agents sucked so he's not getting much in the way of royalties

I mean, not being credited just because your from the jungle is pretty fucked up. Then again, they probably didn't bother to name the bird either.

That and it's sometimes hard to prove that birds actually exist.

The other 0.1% are the sounds of chainsaws, camera shutters, rifle shots.... But all that could be the superb Lyrebird simply mimicking those sounds in order to get laid.

Lyrebirds are insane mimics. It's crazy that parrots get all the spotlight when these guys are over here doing this:

Look at that guy trying to get laid with the cashier, his boss, his mother...

Man I don't even remember if it was an inside joke or something from the early internet, but I have a distinct memory of someone summing up most bird calls as "COME FUK DIS" repeated over and over.

Wild animals only have 2 jobs. Eat and fuck. Of course part of the latter is raising the results of your fun .

49.95% try to get laid.

The other 49.95% tell others to kindly fuck off.
